The team which made her maiden appearance in the top division women basketball league in Nigeria was formed just 7 days before the season by Mountain of Fire and Miracles Sports Director Godwin Enakhena. The team against all predictions finished 3rd in the Atlantic conference regular season in Enugu, pipping 4 time champions First Deepwater basketball to the Final 6 playoffs spot in Lagos, before making a run to the semifinals in the playoffs in Lagos where they lost to the experience of 2015 champions Dolphins Basketball club 57-44 in the semi final and later losing to another old war horse Customs 57-49 in the 3rd place match.

The G.O. Dr Olukoya in his address at his Yaba office expressed his delight at the performance of the girls.

“ We are yet to recover from your beautiful performance. This is unbelievable! The church is still dazed by how well you ladies performed”.

He also on behalf of himself and his wife lauded veteran Sports journalist and Director of Sports, Mountain of Fire Ministries, Godwin Enakhena for his pro-activeness and vision to improve the lot of not just the youth in the church but Nigeria as a whole for taking up the entire project on his own.

Former D’Tigress Assistant coach and Team Head coach Adewunmi Aderemi popularly called Coach Owolo thanked Dr. Olukoya in return for his kind gesture and hospitality noting that the team was not prepared when his call came. Assistant Captain of the side Oluchi Nzekwe gave a vote of thanks on behalf of the players thanking the MFM G.O for the August invitation, promising to deliver a better performance and in fact a continental ticket next season.

“We promise you sir, that this time next year we will bring you a continental ticket”.

Dr Olukoya promised a more elaborate reception for the team and a formal introduction of the team to the Church on a later date, as the team was originally scheduled to disperse camp today before his call for a visit.
