Falconets did well-Omagbemi

After two weeks of intense competition at the Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Japan, the Falconets of Nigeria returned to the country yesterday with heads held high even though some of the players still felt they should have done better than their fourth position.

The team’s highest goal scorer at the Championships, Francisca Ordega is still pained that they could not win the trophy.

“I still feel very sad that our dreams were not realised but we thank God for what we were able to achieve.”

However, assistant coach, Florence Omagbemi believes the girls did very well.

“I am proud of all the players for putting up a good showing in Japan. Although our target was the trophy, placing 4^th in the world is no mean feat. Kudos must go to the girls for rising to the occasion.”
