Power play Delorm Stars in warm-up

Power F/C who are waiting in the wings to meet the third placed team in the national first division middle league in a playoff for a premiership slot travel to Akwatia on Sunday as guests of Delorm Stars. The match slated for the Akwatia Sports Stadium kicks off at 3:00 p.m.

Speaking to the GNA Sports about their preparations Eric Mitchelle, team manager of the electricity club said they have prepared adequately for the match and hope to use it as a dress rehearsal for their fray against their division one opponents.

He said players such as Felix Gbadegbe, Sefa Boateng, Dennis Odoom and Daniel Coleman are in great shape and called on soccer loving people in the Eastern part of the country to troop to Akwatia to watch the match.

The team manager said coach Ken August has done a great job on the team and they are looking beyond qualification to the premiership. "We are in top form and when we enter the premier league again, we shall ensure that we challenge the heavy weights in the quest for honour," he said.

Power, which placed 14 in the 16-team premier league last season, will play the second runner up in the middle league on April 30 at the Accra Sports Stadium with the winner joining the premiership as the last qualifier.
