.Lamray close in on last four ticket too

Abia Warriors have set up a semi-final date with Enugu Rangers in the ongoing 3rd Ifeanyi Ekwueme Tico/Select Pre-season Tournament but the second semi-final fixture is yet to be confirmed.

Abia Warriors and Rivers United were in contention for the remaining second ticket in Group B after Heartland FC finished the group games in the first spot with 10 points from four games but the Warriors made the second spot theirs after they thrashed Apex Krane 3-0 at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.

The Warriors ended the group stage with eight points from four games and a point ahead of Rivers United (seven points) who will rue their 2-0 loss to Heartland FC and the entertaining goalless draw against Abia Warriors.

Enugu Rangers already topped Group A with 10 points from four games with three wins against Cynosure (5-1), Ingas FC (1-0), and Enugu Active All-Stars (2-0), and a draw against Lamray United (1-1) but the second ticket will go down the wire.

Lamray United and Ingas FC are in contention for the remaining ticket with the former holding the ace having garnered seven points from three games while the latter has a point from two games. But they have two games at hand including a tie with Lamray United.

The tournament is bankrolled by an ex-Super Eagles midfielder, Ifeanyi Ekwueme with technical support from Tico/Select manufacturing kits.
