Nasarawa State U21 male team won their first game at the ongoing National U18 and U21 Handball Championship at the Rowe Park Sports Centre, Yaba, Lagos on Wednesday.
Nasarawa beat Future Pro 33-28 to condemn the Ogun State based team to her third defeat of the campaign.
Nasarawa led the first half 18-11 after they were cautioned by their coach Oji Sabo Musa not to underrate Future Pro.
An elated Daniel Bello dedicated the victory to the coaching crew of Nasarawa State.
“I am happy we finally recorded a win after losing two games. Our coach was not happy when we narrowly lost to Bayelsa State but we promised to make him proud in subsequent games.”
