Kotoko Must Improve If … – David Duncan

Kotoko ensured Berekum Chelsea exited the GHALCA First Trust G6 tourney when the two sides met. Two first half goals and one in the second half was enough to send the Berekum based team packing.

 

The tournament was into day two after matches played in day one served fans no goals nor much entertainment to cheer about but the 23 – times Ghana premier league champions, Kotoko ensured day two was not same with the best performance of the tournament so far shown from them.

Like all individuals who have strong ambitions and yearn for more, Kotoko head coach, David Duncan loved what his team displayed but still thinks they fell short of some few decision making especially upfront.

The former Accra Hearts of Oak boss said, “There’s still more room for improvement after such a good performance though. Remember we lost to them (Chelsea) during the league and we needed this victory to boost the morale of the new lads (players) and the old as well.”

 

Kotoko will divide the team into two as a part of the squad depart for an international friendly in Libya whilst the other remain to compete in the GHALCA First Trust G6 tourney.

The 23 – times Ghana premier league champions are yet to lose in the off season and it is this form the fans would like to see when the GHALCA First Trust G6 kicks off at the Essipong sports stadium in Sekondi on Thursday. Like many footballing fans, a defeat due to a weakened fielded by their club side won’t hurt much as when their sworn rivals, Accra Hearts of Oak win the inaugural tourney. Opoku Nti who was a former player will know how it feels to at the opposite of the porcupine faithfuls.

 

With the rumours still surrounding the commemorative game well alive, the CEO’s statement that Kotoko will field a second string (not a weakened side as the media report) due to a commitment in Libya won’t settle well with the fans.

Ashgold Terminate Goal Keepers Contract

Ashgold Sack National Goal Keeper

 

AshantiGold have parted ways with goalkeeper Nana Bonsu. The former Heart of Lions goalie has now officially been transfer listed ahead of the 2015/16 season.

 

The Obuasi based team’s reason on why they’ve released the keeper was on poor performance in the 2014/15 season. The Black Starlets shot-stopper, Nana Bonsu, signed for the Miners on a three-year deal last two seasons from premier league side, Hearts of Lions.

 

With the young keeper’s future now away from the 2014/15 premier champions, he’s now free to sign for any club of his choice either locally or outside the shores of Ghana.
