The proposed Nigeria Women's
Professional League (NWPL) Super Six final billed for the Samson Siasia
Stadium, Yenagoa, Bayelsa State from October 20 to 26 will no longer hold as
scheduled.
The Super Six clash is the last
programme on the league body's calendar that determines the winners of its
regular league season.
The football fiesta would have seen
the best six finishers during the regular season namely title holders, Delta
Queens, Nasarawa Amazons, Pelican Stars, Bayelsa Queens, FC Robo and Federation
Cup winners, Rivers Angels take to the pitch to decide the new champions for
the 2012/13 NWPL season.
The NWPL chairperson, Dilichukwu
Onyedinma said the dates are not feasible due to the qualifying matches
involving some of the women's national teams.
“Early information on the programme
put out by the secretary, Isaac Ajisafe to the clubs on the Super Six and venue
was done hastily and not in full consultation with the board.
“The dates clashed with the
Falconets’ World Cup qualifying match and that of the Under-17, the Flamingoes.
“We won’t want to create an uneven
ground for the clubs whose players will be involved in the national
assignments, we’ll want all the six teams to have their best legs available for
the Super Six clash.
“Those dates are no longer feasible
including the scheduled venue, we’ll sit down to work out a suitable new date
and venue after the teams’ qualifying matches.
“The Super Six competition is held in
the highest esteem by the board and we’ll do everything to ensure it receives
the best treatment both in planning and execution,” said Onyedinma to
supersport.com.
The 2013 Federation Cup finalists,
Nasarawa Amazons emerged top of NWPL Group A on 33 points while title holders,
Delta Queens came second on 32 points and FC Robo third on 31 points.
The Cup winners, Rivers Angels topped
the table in Group B on 40 points followed by Bayelsa Queens on 37 points and
Pelican Stars on 35 points.
