Oyo State chapter of the Sports Writers Association of Nigeria (SWAN) on Friday congratulated the newly appointed General Manager of Shooting Stars Sports Club, Mr Dimeji Lawal.The association in its congratulatory message signed by the Association’s Chairman Niyi Alebiosu and the Secretary, Adewale Tijani, Oyo SWAN charged the newly appointed Acting General Manager, to sustain the recent progression of the club and eventually return 3SC to its former pride of place.
“Since last week, the fortunes of Shooting Stars have suddenly improved, this is characterised by victories the team recorded in their last three games. These victories catapulted the club from relegation zone to number six position on the league table”, it said.
Oyo SWAN added, ” we enjoin Kabongo to sustain the current impressive performance of the darling club of Ibadan”.
While supporting Governor Seyi Makinde demand that Shooting Stars should get continental ticket at the end of the season, Oyo SWAN said, “we believe that Governor Makinde’s demand for continental ticket from 3SC is not an impossible task if the club continue to step up their games.”
” You must win all your home games and ensure that you get at least one point in your away games. This is achievable if you’re focused”.
Lauding Governor Makinde for increasing the monthly subventions of 3SC, the association tasked the widely travelled new Acting General Manager and his team to reciprocate the Governor’s good gestures by using the increments wisely to enhance the team’s productivity.
