Dreams FC Won"t Appeal Hayford"s Suspension

Dreams Football Club has announced that it won’t appeal the suspension of midfielder Emmanuel Hayford over his suspension from their next Ghana Premier League (GPL) game.

Hayford was involved in a brawl with Inter Allies’ Lord Ofosuhene late in the second half of their Match-Day Three GPL fixture which ended 2-2 at the Tema Sports Stadium last Sunday.

Referee Yaw Ametepe sent both players off the pitch for that brawl. The Ghana FA Disciplinary Committee announced a four-match suspension for Hayford’s unsportsmanlike conduct.

But Dreams FC says they won’t appeal the decision.

Below is a statement released by the club on Thursday night.

The management of Dreams FC will not appeal against the suspension of midfielder Emmanuel Hayford. The 23-year-old has been banned for four games on the account of the unsporting behaviour he exhibited during the premier league game against Inter Allies on Sunday.

Hayford was sent off by referee Yaw Ametepe after clashing with Inter Allies player Lord Ofosuhene following a cynical tackle on captain Abdul Bashiru. The decision comes on the back of a meeting held on Thursday.

“The decision is obviously not a positive one but we have decided to allow it to stand” Head of Communications Henry Asante Twum told dreamsfc.com.

“Hayford has been brilliant since he joined us on transfer deadline day.”

“Undoubtedly he has been one of our performers so far and we would have loved to have him in the team for Saturday but that won’t happen so we have to move on.”

Emmanuel Hayford is expected to sit out of the games against Wa All Stars, Techiman City and WAFA.

GPL Preview: Inter Allies v Dreams FC

This will be the first competitive meeting between the two sides as Dreams FC only joined the Ghanaian top-flight league this season after winning promotion from Zone Three in the Division One league.

At home, Inter Allies will fancy their chances of winning after opening their account this season with a very well measured 2-0 success over Aduana Stars at their Tema base.

They suffered a painful 1-2 defeat at the hands of Liberty Professionals last weekend, but, as they return to the Tema Sports Stadium, they will seek to press home that advantage.

Dreams FC hold a hundred per cent record in the league with two wins out of two on this, their debut season, and, have also looked quite impressive.

Coach Charles K. Akunnor’s side will be out to preserve their unbeaten run so far, but, it could end up being one task too many for the former Ghana captain in trying to out think the experienced Herbert Addo of Inter Allies.
