Ardova HPL: Tojemarine, Niger United in decisive clash

Leaders Tojemarine Academy will take on second placed Niger United in a top of the table clash on Monday at the ongoing Ardova Handball Premier League in Benin, Edo State.

The two teams are tied on 18 points having won six games apiece. However, Tojemarine with a goal difference of +58 leads the pack while United have +41 goal difference to occupy the second spot.

With the free scoring Tojemarine hoping to secure their first league title this year, they must be at their best to beat defending champions, Niger United, who have also vowed to retain their title at the end of the season. 

The technical acumen of the two coaches, Adewunmi Shittu of Tojemarine and United’s Adebayo Yekini will  play a crucial role while a win for any of the teams would be a strong step towards winning the title.
