Festus Allen Confident Sharks Will Not Be Relegated

Sharks coach, Festus Allen has said that his aim is to help his side avoid relegation in the ongoing 2014/15 NPFL league.

The Port Harcourt based club resumed the second stanza of the Nigeria Professional Football League with a 2-1 victory over Warri Wolves on Sunday, and the former Shooting Stars coach has insisted that their last weekend victory will boost their confidence when they face Sunshine in the midweek fixture.

“We want to end up on a good note and relegation is certainly out of our books,” said Allen after Sharks beat title-chasing 2-1 at home on Sunday.

“We will take this form to our next game against Sunshine Stars."

Allen said that his side would have beaten Sharks with a wider margin but for his side's poor finishing.

"The scores were not the reflection of the game because we should have won by a bigger margin, but we lost several chances,” said Allen.

Meanwhile, Warri Wolves coach, Paul Aigbogun believes his team lost the game in the first 45 minutes of the game.

Kufre Ebong, who has been sidelined by injury, was introduced to the fray to pull a goal back for the visiting Wolves. Africanfootball
