Existing rivalry between Kano Pillars Football Team and Elkanemi Warriors of Maiduguri Will be reignited tomorrow afternoon at famous Sani Abacha Stadium Kofar Mata in the metropolitan in a rescheduled premier league cracker.
Without much ado,this is a match the home boys would not allow to slip out of their hands in view of how they narrowly lost to table toppers Remo Stars last week in Ikenne Ogun State by two goals to one.
Thus the lads will have to use all the weapons in their armoury to dislodge the invaders from Maiduguri hands down so as to earn the maximum three points.
The task primarily lies on the shoulders of caretaker coach Ahmed Garba Yaro Yaro and his lieutenants as this will be their first match at home soil.
This will certainly be practical if the players would heed to the tactician’s instruction coupled with the backing of their die hard supporters who were always committed and determined to encourage their darling team to victory in either thick or thin.

But on the other hand,the guests will not fold their arms and allow Sai Masu Gida to beat them easily without resistance as the game it is a derby.
In this case,the Pyramid City Lads should tighten their belt and expect a full war from the fellow northern team particularly as level of officiating this time around has vastly improved and soccer as analysts say is not arithmetic.
As football fans await the encounter which is expected to be full house our prayers is for both teams and their fans to embrace whatever happen in the course of the engagement in good faith this will definitely help in developing the round leather game and above all prove doubters wrong.
Historically,rivalry between the sides started as early as 1990 when the Maiduguri side parading players like late Aminu Oduah,,Kabiru Baleriya and pillars featuring late Yusuf Akuya and his bossom friend late Nura Rasha being coached by Kadiri Ikhana, narrowly beat Pillars in the final of the National Challenge Cup played at National Stadium Surulere by three goals to two.
