Rivers Angels forward Abasiofon Uwah has been left out of the NWFL Premiership Player of the Month nominees for February, despite scoring two goals and providing an assist during the month.

The January Player of the Month began February with an assist, setting up Taiwo Ajibade for Rivers Angels’ second goal in their 2–1 away win over Ekiti Queens after the Pride of Rivers had taken a 2–0 lead, Footballrover reports.

Abasiofon Uwah snubbed despite decisive February performances

A week later, she found the back of the net twice to hand Rivers Angels a 2–1 victory in their South-South derby against Edo Queens.

The pacey and reliable forward converted a penalty after Marylyn Essien handled the ball inside the box 13 minutes into the game.

Uwah stepped up confidently and slotted home to give the Jewels of Rivers the lead.

Just before halftime, a swift counterattack saw her round the goalkeeper before calmly finishing to double her tally and seal a 2–1 win for Tosan Blankson’s side in the derby clash.

Her brace in that match took her season tally to seven goals.
