Hearts, Kotoko go on revenge mission
Defending champions Hearts Of Oak will be hunting for a win when they welcome Medeama SC to the Accra Sports Stadium today to honour their match day 23 fixture of the Ghana Premier League (GPL).
The Phobians picked a vital point in mid-week against Berekum Chelsea in a 1-1 draw, a result which leaves their title hopes in ‘limbo’ but could also fancy their chances and stage revenge, having lost 1-0 to Medeama in the first leg.
On Suday, League leaders Asante Kotoko will face rivals King Faisal in the Kumasi derby at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium. The Porcupine Warriors were shocked to the marrow with their first 3-2 defeat in the first round.
Gaffer Nurudeen Amadu and his charges are poised to record a double over Kotoko but a more determined and resilient Kotoko can outshine King Faisal.
Relegation-threatened Gold Stars will host Dreams at the Dun’s Park tomorrow. The debutants have been one of the inconsistent side and will hope to improve on their output.
Spirited Legon Cities will lock horns with Ashantigold at the El-Wak Sports on Sunday. Both sides have been in recent fine form and will be eager to continue.
Poor performing West African Soccer Academy (WAFA) will welcome Aduana Stars at the Nana Agyeman Badu I Park tomorrow.
WAFA have managed just a win in their last seven games and a victory could secure them a good spot on the table.
It will be a battle for survival at the Ohene Ameyaw Park when Eleven Wonders take on new boys Accra Lions at the Techiman on Sunday.
At the Aiyinase CAM Park, Karela United will tussle it out with struggling Elmina Sharks.
On Monday, Great Olympics will travel to face Bechem United at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park, whilst struggling Real Tamale United (RTU) square off with Berekum Chelsea to climax the round of games.

Education Minister Haruna Iddrissu has announced that government is working to make education free for all learners with special needs, with funding expected to come from GETFund.
He shared the plan during a press briefing with the media.
According to him, an initial estimate shows that the policy will require between 65 million and 100 million cedis every year.
He noted that GETFund currently has a budget of 9 million cedis, and with proper adjustments, it should be possible for the fund to release about 100 million cedis every other year to support the policy.
Mr Iddrissu added that government is also committed to providing free tertiary education for all persons with disabilities.
He explained that the support will go beyond classroom learning and will include feeding and the provision of assistive learning devices for learners with special needs.

Ghana’s singing Prophet, Joseph Atarah, has released a video for his new song dubbed ‘Increase’. The video was directed and shot by renowned director, Sky Web.
The motivational video exhibits captivating dance moves, set against the vibrant and beautiful city of Accra. Prophet Atarah co-wrote the song with Nana Boateng.
Touching on the message during an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, he said, ‘Increase’ is a motivational song telling people not to give up in their present situation. According to him, with determination and a relentless desire to succeed, God will make everything beautiful.
“As you trust in God’s plan, remember that ‘INCREASE’ is on the way. Just as seeds grow into harvest, your faith is growing into abundance. God’s got you, and His increase is surrounding you,” he added.
Prophet Atarah resigned from the military band in 2006 after an encounter with God to start his prophetic ministry and commenced his music journey about four years ago.
