The first stage of Heartland FC flash screening exercise came to close at the old Stadium in Owerri this afternoon with three different set matches between the Trial Team and the Imo State Festival Team.
The trial team lost the first game 1-0, won the second game by the same margin and ended the third set on goalless.
Coach Ramson Madu declared the exercise as successful after about 23 young players were picked from a pool of about 250 players who took part in the exercise.
Those chosen will be further invited for trials in the next stage of the talent hunt exercise which will come very soon.
Heartland FC ‘Trial Team’ later defeated on day Four Imo State Sports Festival Team 1-0 in one of the three trial matches that took place at the Old Stadium, Owerri.
