Wikki Tourists chairman Isa Matori believes his side have regained their confidence following their 3-1 victory over Gombe United last weekend. The Big Elephants have been in poor form so far in 2017, winning just five of their 16 outings prior to their victory over the Savannah Scorpions in the matchday 18 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) at the Abubakar Tafawa Balewa stadium, Bauchi on Sunday.

Matori commended his boys for their new found spirit, stressing that they would have scored more goals against Gombe United.

The club’s boss also informed Sportinglens.blogspot.com that players have been paid their match bonuses for beating Gombe United.

He said he had ordered the payment of their match bonuses to encourage them to do more for the team.

However, the rescheduled week 13 of the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) clash between Rangers International and Wikki Tourists have been fixed for April 23. Before then, the Big Elephant will travel to Umuahia to play Abia Warriors for the matchday 19 encounter this weekend.

And according to Matori, Wikki’s confidence has returned.

They have started getting results and I have absolute confident in them. I love the way they play against Gombe United. We would have scored 5 or six goals against Gombe United but we missed so many clear chances. We immediately arranged for the payment of their bonus after the match against Gombe United to appreciate their efforts,” Matori said to Sportinglens.blogspot.com.
