By Amaechi Agbo
Defending champions for the male and female Prudent Energy Handball Premier League, Kano Pillars of Kano and Safety Babes of Abuja, respectively, will begin their title defence with crunch matches as both have been paired to begin the new season with interesting fixtures
In the fixtures released and made available to Best Choice Sports, Kano Pillars will seek to avoid arrest in the hands of the Police Machine with the match due to commence by 8:30am on Monday.
Safety Babes on their part will seek to “impound” Seasiders Babes of Lagos in a match that promises to be a blockbuster. The last time both teams tackled each other in the last edition, the Lagos Babes came out victories.
Meanwhile in the opening matches for both categories, Kada Queens of Kaduna will face De Defender Babes of Abuja in the female first match while the male first match will see Benue Bufaloes tackle Lagos Seasiders. Both matches will commence by 7am on the dot.
The fixtures further indicate that a total of 11 matches will be played on the opening day, Monday 23rd May. The same number of matches will be played the following three days each while there will be 8 matches on 27th May.
May 28 will have 9 matches decided, 29th will witness 6 matches while 30th May will be another very busy day with 11 matches on offer.
May 31 to June 2 will have 11 matches each day.
