And that was enough reason for midfielder, Felix Benjamin to believe that the Bayelsa state pampered team will not drop out of the elite league this season.

Ocean Boys, 15th on the log, now have 11 points from 10 games but they are not comfortable with  Niger Tornadoes, Crown, Zamfara United and JUTH FC and Plateau United directly chasing them. And according to Benjamin they must have to grind out more results to keep afloat.

“I am happy that we defeated Crown. It was not an easy match but we played well and now we have to make sure that we continue to win our games,” said the enterprising midfielder star.

The 18 year old also spoke on the recent calamity which befell the club. Defender Emma Ogoli slumped and died during a league game while the duo of Emma Akabogu and Osprino Egbe went into a coma after a horrific car crash in Yenagoa.

“Yes, we have suffered a lot recently but we have decided to move on with our lives. We have to keep marching on and do our best for our fans,” he said.
