Some Week 17 games of the Glo Premier League were played
on Saturday across various centres, with Heartland’s win away from home, the
pick of the bunch.
Only three games were slated to be played today as
Heartland travelled to Benin to face Bayelsa United, Giwa FC hosted Nembe City
in Jos while Dolphins FC entertained Lobi Stars in Port Harcort.
Bright Ejike scored twice for a resurgent Heartland side
as they recorded a 2-4 away win over Bayelsa United at the Samuel Ogbemudia
Stadium in Benin.
In Port Harcourt, Ifeanyi Egwim scored a hattrick to help
Dolphins FC record a 3-1 home win over visiting Lobi Stars.
The game between Giwa and Nembe did not however happen,
as the visitors appealed to the League Management Company (LMC) for a 24-hour
extension after their bus broke down on route to honoring the fixture.
The LMC has not however made any public statement
regarding the fate of Nembe, but an official hinted to KickOffNigeria.com that
the Bayelsa-based club may be walked over if their claims are not
substantiated, as the LMC had earlier insisted that the game be played on
Sunday.
