Asante Kotoko travel to Bibiani hoping to beat Gold Stars and maintain their 100 percent start to the Ghana Premier League.
Only Asante Kotoko and King Faisal are yet to drop points in the league after two games.
The Porcupine Warriors have collected six points, scored five goals and conceded. They commenced with a 3-1 win over Dreams FC, scoring all their goals after the 85th minute mark.
Another late drama ensued last Sunday with Kototo scoring two goals to beat Bechem United in Kumasi.
So far, it has been very good for Dr Prosper Ogum’s men, but they should know that the season is still too early and must stay focused.
They will be without captain Ismail Ganiu who is on national duty with the Black Stars.
Gold Stars are also unbeaten with four points from six in their first season in the top-flight. They are the only newly-promoted who haven’t tasted defeat.
They opened their account with a 1-0 win over former champions Berekum Chelsea and snatched a late draw in Tarkwa against favourites Medeama.
However, their unbeaten start is under threat as they face 23-time champions. Gold Stars will require a memorable performance to cause a massive upset.
Gold Stars can draw inspiration from their fans who are sure to flood the stadium. They also have a manager who knows Kotoko very well. Michael Osei performed well as a Kotoko player and once coached them.
The kick-off is at 3 pm and will be televised. -ghanasoccernet.com
The four-day international tennis championship between the Accra Lawn Tennis Club of Ghana and Ikoyi Sports Club of Nigeria is set to reach its climax tomorrow at the Accra Lawn Tennis Courts (ALTC) in Accra.
According to the organisers, tomorrow would witness high profile matches with a lot at stake as both clubs aim to unsettle each other to enhance the rivalry between the two nations.
The event is an annual arrangement between the two clubs that sees the championship rotated among them.
The team representing Ghana includes Thomas Amoako Boafo, Issek Antwi-Agyei, Dr Abraham Oppong Adjei and Palm Nii Okine for the 40+ years’ division.
The trio of Dr Bankah, Abeiku Bentsi and Ekow Arthur will be in contention for the 50 years plus group while the pairs of Dr Maxwell Adjei and Edmund Nii Botchway, Frederick Van De Vyer and David Carreras and Nicholas Kumadey and Palm Nii Okine feature against the Nigerians in the Doubles championship.
In the Men’s division, the onus would be on Chris Hammond, Kweku Amakye, Nana Dr Kofi Boakye, Chris Tagoe, Dr Henry Holdbrook-Smith, Nick Akpebu, Brian Benneh and Michele Nemesi to make the ALTC proud.
The women for the Ladies competition are Kate Coleman, Fatiha Menzel, Naa Ofoli, Wendy Quartey, Wanda Quartey and Kuukua Bartels-Kodwo.
Veteran player, Peter Annan, will be the Acting Captain of Team Ghana and would be ably assisted by Lawrence Lartey.
Expected to lead the ALTC is Dr Maxwell Adjei, who is the newly elected Chairman of the club. He is also the Head of Dental at the Greater Accra Regional Hospital (Ridge Hospital).
Mr Peter Annan, the Acting Captain of ALTC, told The Spectator that as part of the arrangement for the international friendly, a special tour was organised for members of Team Ikoyi.
He was confident that as the host club, ALTC will prevail as winners of this year’s edition which ends tomorrow.

The Street Academy’s annual health walk has been postponed.
The event, the 26th edition, was initially slated for today but was postponed due to the two-day cleaning exercise instituted by President John Dramani Mahama.
This year’s edition is on the theme: ‘Feet on the Street, Hope in Motion.’
According to the organisers, the event would be held on August 1 with all protocols intact.
Dr Ataa Lartey, the Founder and Executive Director of the Academy, told The Spectator that the walk which was expected to be joined by a few dignitaries will start at the Accra Art Centre.
From there, it would proceed through the principal streets of Accra to James Town and return to the starting point.
The event aims to raise awareness about the plight of needy and underprivileged children, promote healthy living, and advocate the importance of basic education.
According to Dr Lartey, the walk will feature a range of activities, including a brisk group walk, mass aerobics, free health screening, and entertainment for children.
