Nigeria Premier League champions,
Enyimba, and their rivals, Abia Warriors, have qualified for the
semifinals of the 2016 edition of the Abia State FA Cup after defeating
their respective opponents at the quarterfinal stage.
The premier league teams will battle
Nigeria National League side, Abia Comets, and amateur side, Abonta of
Aba, in the last four.
To make the last four, Enyimba beat
another amateur side Flying Birds of Aba 6-0 while Warriors defeated
Kambu, also of Aba, 2-0. Flying Birds went past Wanderers and Diamond of
Umuahia before their dreams ended against Enyimba. Kambu also
eliminated Enyimba Feeders and Chidex both of Aba to meet with Warriors.
For Comets, they defeated Ibeku United
of Umuahia while Abonta eliminated Ben FC and Abia Warriors Feeders Team
to advance to the last four.
In the semifinals, Warriors will square
up against Comets in Umuahia while Abonta will host Enyimba in the other
last four clashes. Comets had lost to Warriors at the same stage two
years ago but did not register for the competition last year.
