Black Stars goalkeeper Richard Ofori has urged players of Wa All Stars to improve their performance in order to escape the drop from the ongoing Zylofon Cash Premier League.

The Wa-based outfit are enduring a torrid campaign in the top flight league as they languish at the bottom of the log with seven points after 13 matches.

According to Ofori, who was one of the star performers for the side during their 2015/16 league triumph, has charged his former side to turn the corner if they are to avoid relegation in the ongoing campaign.

“They [players] need to wake up and do something for the club," Ofori, who was on the books of All Stars during their title triumph, told 442gh.

"If they don’t try to keep the club in the Premier League, they will suffer because no player wants to play in the [second tier].

"They need to do anything possible to remain in the league.

“The travelling is affecting them, [but they shouldn't use it as an excuse].

"You play against a club like Medeama [which requires about] 15-16 hours drive to the venue and you have to return on the day of the match in order to prepare for the next game.

"It is not easy. They need a strong mentality.

"We were there and we won the league traveling the same distances."
