Exclusive: Wa Rockets FC Switches Camp To Nkoranza

Division one side, Wa Rockets FC (WRFC), have switched camp to Nkoranza after a turbulent  time at the Wa Park.

The Wa-based Division One side endured  a torrid first round at the park in their maiden season in the second tier league before heading to their newly adopted home ground.

WRFC booked their place in the GN Bank Division One league as champions of the Upper West regional division two, but has since failed to replicate their form on home soil.

The Division One newbies struggled at home despite their strong away form in  the league.

Joseph Kobbina Fosu’s men recorded a run of six consecutive home games without a win to worsen the poor patronage of their games.

They are expected to play their first home game at the Nkoranza pitch over the weekend after their midweek trip to Wamanafo.
