Kano Pillars technical adviser, Ibrahim Musa has said that Sai Masu Gida is poised to win all title in the forthcoming season, Sportinglens.blogspot.com reports.

Musa led the Pyramid City outfit to win this year's prestigious Gold Cup pre-season tournament after defeating the defending Champions, Lobi Stars of Makurdi 1-0 at the Kwara State Stadium in Ilorin on Friday. 

Rabiu Ali's 33rd minute’s effort was all Sai Masu Gida needed to claim the title for the second time. It was a sweet revenge as Lobi Stars denied Pillars the chance of winning the title last year when they stopped the northern club side in the semi-final.

The former league champions were rewarded with a giant trophy and the sum of three hundred thousand naira for winning title.

In a chat with Sportinglens.blogspot.com, Musa said his team's victory was a collective effort from the government, management, technical crew and the players.

"I am happy that we won the title. This is a sign of good preparation for the new season. It is a collective effort, from government, management, players and technical crew. We also appreciate our fans too. The tournament gave us the opportunity to test our new players and we will go home to correct all the mistakes noticed during the competition.

"The team is starting blending well, we played six matches during the tournament and we didn’t lose any game. We had played three friendly games before the tournament too and we won everything. We are going to participate in another pre-season tournament and NPFL Super six in Kano. It is my wish and everybody here to win all the available title this season," Musa said to Sportinglens.blogspot.com.
