Onyeocha, Prince Ogbonna Inspire 10-Man Heartland To Victory Against Doma UTD

 

The seamless synergy existing between the Imo State Commissioner for Sports, Youth & Social Development, Hon Evarestus Obinna Onyeoha "Onowu" and the Chairman Imo State Sports Commission, Hon Prince Sir Eleazar Onyewuchi Ogbonna "Ambassador" was very manifest on Sunday as their presence inspired Heartland FC to Victory.

The Scientific Boys as they are fondly called recorded a resounding Victory against Doma United FC of Gombe in an NPFL match day 35 encounter at the Dan Anyiam Stadium, Owerri.

A goal towards the tail of the first half and two in the second half even after the Savannah Tigers pulled one back was enough for the "Naze Millionaires" to earn all three points as the 2023/24 league season winds up with just 3 games to go.

Motivational and inspirational pep talks from the Sports Commissioner and the Sports Commission Chairman (who incidentally is an ex professional footballer) boosted the players to double their efforts for the had earned Victory as the home team went down to 10 men after one of the players was sent off for a second bookable offence.

Recall that since after the appointment of Hon Onyeocha "Onowu", he and the Sports Commission Boss, Prince Ogbonna have been working like identical twins towards repositioning sports on the state and this has been evident in their unweavring support to sports including Heartland FC not forgetting the grassroots.

Currently the Talent Hunt programme being sponsored by the Sports Commission in partnership with the Sports Commissioner is part His Excellency's diversified Youth Empowerment Programmes in the sports sector to pick talented players who will travel to Spain for the European Football Exhibition Tour and for professional contracts.

The Owerri Landlords will next be guest at Ikene, against Remo Stars FC on Wednesday as they continue to aim at ending the season with a flourish
