Their failure in the Confederation Cup is driving Warri Wolves push for the title, striker Stanley Dimgba has said. Despite a sluggish start to the season occasioned by the club’s participation in the 2014-2015 CAF Confederation Cup, which they eventually crashed out in the third round in the hands of FC Leopards of Congo, Sharks have managed to pick up the pieces  and are now surprisingly in the sixth position, with 29 points, seven less than  pacesetters Sunshine Stars and Enyimba, who have played two matches more than the  Seasiders from the oil city of Warri.

The turning point appears to be in their last three matches, beating Enyimba 2-1 in Warri, followed by another 2-1 away win at Taraba before capping it up with a 2-1 victory over Sharks at the Warri City Stadium, to the delight of their fans, who went gaga to celebrate the winning streak.

And speaking on the sudden turnaround of fortunes for the club, Super Eagles striker, Dimgba, who stars for Wolves said  their failure to get into the group stage of the Confederation Cup fuelled their desire to qualify to play continental football next season.

“Our failure against Leopards pained us a lot. We thought we were doing well but suffered an unjust 3-0 loss to Leopards in Congo. We came back and did our best to redress the situation and scored three goals but were unlucky to concede a goal, which marked our end in the Confederation Cup.

“‘That failure somehow is motivating us to push for the title and ensure we return to play in the continent because that is where the exposure is. We are not new to the continent and believe that a quick return will stand us in better chance to favourably compete with other teams from other countries.

“We know that the journey to play in the continent is going to be tough but we are ready for the challenge and hopefully, our hard work and good performance will speak for us at the end of the season”, added Dimgba.
