Lagos, Akure on Fire Coca-Cola FA Cup As this year's Coca-Cola FA Cup enters the round of 32 today in 16 centres which will produce the qualifiers to the league phase, defending champions, Lobi Stars of Makurdi will continue the defence of the trophy they won last year against Dolphin of Port-Harcourt. It is a case of the grass of Onikan Stadium suffering under the weight of pressure, good football expected to be made sweet by a balanced officiating. Left alone to Godwin Uwua, the Insurance of Benin coach, the magic of winning the FA Cup is exclusive to him having led Lobi Stars of Makurdi to the cup victory last season as he is already looking beyond Kwara United FC of Ilorin, his foes in Akure today. Uwua was in Onikan Stadium to watch the Dr. Bukola Saraki boys beat Enyimba of Aba. In Ayangba, Gabros of Nnewi tackle Sunshine of Akure in a match that also promises to be of importance as the result may not amount to surprise given the pedigree of the two teams and how they got to this stage of the championship. Premier League aspirants, Sharks of Port-Harcourt, are in Owerri to test the mettle of the junior team of Enyimba FC of Aba. Any upset is possible but the Shaibu Amodu boys may be fired more with Dolphin, Rivers State's second representatives still in contention. Julius Berger of Lagos are squaring it up against Gombe Lions in Kaduna while in Abuja, Ebonyi FC will slug it out with Yobe Stars of Damaturu in a match that club PRO, Alloy Chukwuemeka promised "will not slip by our fingers. We have put in more than not to beat Ebonyi, though we respect them but that is where it stops."
