Osho vows to halt Unicem Rovers



Remo Stars' manager, Fatai Osho has said his wards will end the unbeaten run of NNL rivals, Unicem Rovers in this season's campaign.

The Sky Blue Stars will play hosts to Unicem Rovers in an NNL Matchday 5 encounter at the Dipo Dina Stadium, Ijebu-Ode on Sunday.

Last season Remo Stars pipped Unicem Rovers 1-0 in this same fixture and Osho is optimistic that his wards will repeat last year's feat.

"Unicem Rovers are having a dream start to the league right now and we can understand they will be coming with a lot of confidence.

"This was the same scenario last season before they paid a visit to us in Sagamu and fortunately for us, we're able to halt their winning streak and that we intend to repeat on Sunday.

"These lads are hungry for success and they will do all it takes to be successful. The inner zeal to get the job done is unquestionable and I’m so happy to be working with these crop of players," he said.

Remo Stars are fifth on the log while their foes, Unicem Rovers are currently leaders of NNL Division B.
