Ogbonda lost twice in the final of the competition during his stint with Ibom Angels in 2017 and 2018.
“The match wasn’t an easy one because I wasn’t expecting an easy game from Naija Ratels,” Ogbonda said.
“I’ve joined a team like Rivers Angels where I have experienced and young players capable of winning trophies. There was pressure on me to win, and I am happy today to have broken the jinx as a trophyless coach.
“The team was well-motivated because after losing the NWFL, we told them they needed to boost their market value and bargaining power by ending the season with a trophy. That spurred them to work hard and achieve the result today.”
