The Ladies’ hockey team of the Ghana Police Service sealed their authority in the Greater Accra Hockey league with a 3-2 win over the arch-rivals, Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), to win the 2015 hockey season last Saturday.

GRA ladies had their destiny in their hands with a two-point lead and goal advantage over Police, but opted for the second position on the league table.

Police came into the game like wounded lions and did just what was expected of them.
