Shooting Stars head coach Gbenga Ogunbote has said his side will keep working hard to get positive results on the road.

The Oluyole Warriors lost 2-0 to Remo Stars in Ikenne on Wednesday.

3SC put up a good fight in the encounter but were largely undone by poor marksmanship and momentary loss of concentration.

Ogunbote lamented the loss of another derby.

“It is unfortunate we lost the game.We were looking at getting it right on the road, yet another derby, we couldn’t get it right,”he told the club’s media.

“We will keep fighting until we get it right. But the important thing is that the boys gave a good fight. We were a little bit wasteful, ordinarily we would have been two goals up in the first half.”

The former Sunshine Stars and Enyimba handler, also blamed loss of concentration for the defeat.

“The second goal was uncalled for, we needed not to have conceded that, we had a careless moment there,”he added.

“Even after the second goal, we were determined to fight till the end but Nigerian league is difficult playing with one man short. If we can play this much with one man short, I think when we have a complete team, we should be able to do better.”
