Following Rangers' 1-0 victory against Heartland of Owerri, Chairman of the Enugu-based club, Amobi Ezeaku, spurred the team with a surprise gift of one hundred and fifty thousand naira (N150,000.00).
Amobi expressed delight over the resistance of the junior Rangers, even though one of their players was red-carded.
"I am proud of the display of the never-say-die attitude of Rangers, even though you were one man down."
"Some of you can move to the Senior team, especially the team Captain Igwelo Chimobi if the coach approves it for development."
Coach Basil Obeta of Enugu Rangers commended his players and pointed out that they will not underrate or be afraid of any team as they will take on Enyimba of Aba on Match Day 2 at 11 am at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu.
Enyimba held Abia Warriors to a 2-2 draw in their opening game.
Abia Warriors will open Match Day 2 fixtures against Heartland by 9 am in the same venue.
