Hearts of Oak Win Shamo Quaye Memorial Game

Accra Hearts of Oak represented by their U-20 side Auroras beat Gomoa Achiase Central Shamo Babies 2-1 to win the fourth edition of the Shamo Quaye Memorial Games played at the Achiase Park on Sunday.

This was a keenly contested affair with neither side prepared to yield in as the stakes were high with a lot of bragging rights at stake.

Shamo Babies won last year’s encounter by that same result at the same venue and were eager to preserve the advantage on the Phobians.

However, the Auroras side had other ideas on the day and largely dominated for most periods of the game and deserved to win of this encounter.

Manaf Gumah opened the scoring for Auroras in the first half before Osman Olubaba doubled the tally in the second. The hosts pulled a goal back deep in injury time but, it was too little too late as Hearts run away with the win.

Auroras will continue with their preparations for the second round of the Greater Accra Division Two League which is scheduled to resume soon.

Auroras Team: Innocent Adjah, Edmund Mensah (Kingsford), George Tonnyi, Bernard Laryea, Abass Saddat, Osman Olubaba, Daniel Yeboah (Mahama Rafao), Joseph Sarkodie, Mawunyo Agolo (Ahmed Tijan), Manaf Gumah, Enoch Addo.

Unused substitute: Richard Baddoo

Abugri Determined To Develop Hearts’ Youth Team

Accra Hearts of Oak youth coach, Stephen Abugri has said he is determined to develop the youth side into the most fearsome on the local scene and believes it is just a matter of time before that becomes a reality.

The youth side of Ghana’s Premier club, Auroras, have been in training for a couple of months now, and, will be participating in the Greater Accra regional Division Two League which will start soon.

And Coach Abugri is optimistic they will make a strong impact in the competition with the long term aim of promoting as many of them as possible to the first team.

“We are going to be very competitive in the Division Two League in Accra this season, and, we should be countered among the favourites this season,” he told the club’s official newspaper, the Hearts News.

“The boys have been in training for some time now, and, I can tell you that they are well prepared for the competition ahead,” Coach Abugri said.

“These are some of the most talented young players you can find around, and, their passion and determination for the game is massive,” he said.

He noted that the hunger to do well for the club and themselves is something he has not seen in a while, and, believes with time, they could go on to do great things for the club.

Coach Abugri therefore called for support and encouragement for the boys as they take the first step towards being initiated to become stars of the future for Accra Hearts of Oak.
