COAS coach eyes Ardova HPL top spot

COAS Shooters’ coach, Emeka Nnamani, has said that his team has a good chance of finishing tops if his players continue to display resilience and confidence on the handball court.

Nnamani stated this on Friday after his team defeated Benue Buffaloes 37-28 at the ongoing second phase of the 2025 Ardova Handball Premier League in Lagos.

The coach, who said he has a crop of young players who are willing to give their all and adhere to instruction, added that the league has been tough with all the teams giving their best in every game.

“We have won three and drawn a game since the second phase, which started in Lagos on Tuesday, and I am happy my players are giving their best in every game,” he said.

“They all carry out tactical plans to the letter, and that is why we are second on the table. However, we hope to improve with every game, as it is still possible to finish first. It’s a tough task, but we will give our all.”

In the game against the Buffaloes, COAS Shooters were better at both ends of the court, attacking and scoring goals, while also denying their opponents scoring opportunities with their solid defensive display.

Buffaloes were also undone by their misses in front of goal, but can take solace in the fact that they gave their best in the game.
