Akwa United have picked up two valuable pre-season friendly matches victory as they prepare for their 2016/17 NPFL Match Day One tie against ABS this weekend in Ilorin.
The Promise Keepers defeated Spartans of Lagos 3-1 before adding another 1-0 away win against Calabar selected side in Calabar on Saturday to maintain their impressive pre-season form where they have only been beaten once by Abia Warriors.
The Media Officer of the club, Mfon Patrick told our sports team that the Uyo side still hopes to play a test game before their trip to Ilorin where they are scheduled to tackle the newly promoted premier league side.
He said it is uncertain if they will be able to face a topflight side before the start of the season as the 2015 Federation Cup champions strive to dust off the unimpressive result of last season where they managed to escape relegation.
