Liberty Professionals Beat Republicans In Friendly

A second half brace from Youngster Annan ensured that Ghana Premier League side Liberty Professionals came back from a goal down to recorded a 2-1 victory over Second Division side Madina Republicans in a keenly contested Friendly encounter at the Carle Reindorf Park on Thursday morning.

Former Liberty Striker, Mohammed Cissey had put the visitors ahead in the first half but the Dansoman based side came back strongly in the second half after a string of substitutions.

The Madina based side came into the game looking to avenge a 3-0 loss they suffered at the same venue last month but the Scientific Soccer Lads once again showed them the difference in class.

The game which was lined up to keep the Liberty players active due to the postponement of their Ghana Premier League Week 11 tie against Medeama SC also provided an opportunity for some players to make a return to the Carle Reindorf Park.

Former Liberty skipper, James Dissaramah along with striker Mohammed Cissey and midfielder Francis Mawuli are all former players at the Dansoman based club who returned to face their former club on Thursday morning.

Liberty Eye GPL Crown

Assistant coach for Liberty Professionals, Felix Aboagye is optimistic his side will be champions of the Ghana Premier League (GPL) at the end of the season.

The Scientific Soccer lads earned their first away win of the season with a vintage performance aagainst Hasaacas, courtesy a Bernard Arthur late minute effort on Sunday at the Essipong Sports Stadium.

Liberty Professionals, despite making their Premier League debut in 1999 have never got closer to winning the top-flight league.

However, Felix Aboagye is optimistic the Dansoman based side would rewrite history and have their name on the list of winners for the GPL this season, following their 1-0 victory over Hasaacas.

“Any time we visit Hasaacas we don’t get good results, but this time around, we controlled the game and had the victory,” he said after the game.

“I am promising everyone that we would be league champions this season. Sometimes we decide not to play in the top four or something like that, but this season we will win the league,” Felix Aboagye said in a post-match interview.

What Is the Fate Of Techiman City?

All things been equal, the Ghana Premier League will start in four days but the fate of Techiman City — one of the sixteen premier league clubs is yet to be decided.

The Ghana FA Ethics Committee found the club guilty of alleged match-fixing with Wa Africa United to influence the their Division One match week 22 fixture at the Damongo Park.

They ruled that Techiman City should be demoted to Division two, reducing the number of premier league clubs to fifteen. The FA however, released a statement that decision reached by the Ethics Committee has not affected their plans scheduled for the upcoming season.

Techiman City has appealed and filed a stay of execution but the adjudicating body of the FA is yet to respond to their request with only four days to the start of the season.

The delay has raised eyebrows over whether the league will start with sixteen teams or fifteen.

Will the premier league board, the body empowered to organize league football in the country overlook the decision reached by the Ethics Committee and play a sixteen team league?

Ghana Football Association, the Ethics Committee and the Premier League Board is; what is the fate of Techiman City Football Club?
