. As Namo, Najare score hat-tricks
ENYIMBA striker, Bishop Onyeudo scored his 12th goal of the season in a 3-0 win over Gombe United in a Globacom Premier League Week 28 game at the Aba Township Stadium.
The victory put the Peoples Elephant back on the top of the log with 45 points ahead of Kano Pillars also with same number of points following their 0-2 loss to Heartland in owerri in another mid-week thriller.
Ifeanyi Edeh opened the scoring in Aba in the 10th minute before Onyeudo struck against his former team 17 minutes later to while old war horse Emeka Nwana put the game beyond dispute 10 minutes into the last half.
Onyeudo is now leading scorer's chart with 12 goals just as he expressed confidence that he will keep scoring to claim the Golden Boot award at the end of the season.
At the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, Enugu, Rangers came from behind to gain a 2-1 victory over relegation-threatened Lobi Stars of Makurdi managed by ex-international, Dominic Iorfa.
'Joshua Abanyi stunned Enugu fans barely 15 minutes into the game with a sizzler before the Flying Antelopes restored parity in the 40th minute through gangling Christian Obiozor's header.
Obizor was on song again in the 50th miniute to give Rangers maximum points.
Interestingly, Lobi had claimed the same margin win over Rangers when both sides met in Week 8 at Katsina-Ala.
Relegation-hunted Shooting Stars Sports Club after a Sunday 0-1 loss to Akwa United in Uyo smiled home with a 2-0 win over El-Kanemi Warriors in another mid-week game.
After a barren situation in the first half, goals from Raphael Musa (56th minute) and Osagona Ighodaro (70th minute) forced the Warriors back to Maiduguri empty-handed.
The victory of the Oluyole warlords came on the heels of the resignation of the club's chairman, Mr Toyin Akintunde for reasons best known to him, just as 3SC faithful may have traced the development to the worrisome position of the team on the log.
Two players recorded hat-tricks in today's mid-week games as Victor Namo scored thrice in Nasarawa United's 4-0 demolition of Dolphins FC at the Lafia Township Stadium; while Musa Najare achieved the sam e feat with Warri Wolves who hammered visiting Kaduna United 4-0 as well in Warri.
