Before this season started, Wa All Stars promised to be in among the favourites fothe Ghana Premier League (GPL) title, and true to their saying, they are on course towards achieving that.
At the half way point of the campaign, they lead the standing with 28 points, two better off than Aduana Stars, Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak who sit in second, third and fourth positions respectively.
All Stars have set the season alight with some excellent performances and results, outclassing and beating Hearts of Oak 3-1 in Accra, Aduana Stars 1-0 at Dormaa, Berekum Chelsea 1-0 at Berekum and Asante Kotoko 1-0 on home soil in Wa.
Coach Enos Adepa’s side has won eight of the 15 games they have played this first round with four draws and three defeats.
They have the best defence in the league as they have let in only nine goals and scored 17. Only Inter Allies (18), Liberty Professionals (21) and Aduana Stars with 24, have scored more.
Theirs have been a good mix of home and away performances and results which has carried them this far, and, they could go all the way to winning their first ever Premiership title in Ghana if they can maintain this form in the second round.
Coach Adepa has said they will look to address this when the second round commences on the weekend of 25/26 June when they will host Berekum Chelsea at the Wa Park.
Their home form has always been good since they joined the Ghanaian top-flight almost a decade ago, and, it is this record that could carry them through if they are able to preserve it in the second round.
They also have a pretty decent away record, and, a combination of those in the second half of the season, could lead them to their cherished dream of winning the title at the end of the campaign.
So, what has brought them this far?
They seem to be benefiting from their preseason tour of Saudi Arabia where they played against some top level clubs, coming out with some good results.
Coach Adepa has blended very well, a good mix of youth and experience, and, this has worked for him in this first round.
Fans of the club will hope the second session goes very as well and, that, it will lead to silverware at the end of the campaign.
Whether that will happen though remains to be seen as Asante Kotoko, Aduana Stars, Liberty Professionals and Hearts of Oak among others, will all have something to say about this.
Can Wa All Stars Go All The Way To Win The GPL Title?
