TAMALE UTRECHT COULD QUALIFY TO THE MIDDLE LEAGUE-TECH DIRECTOR

25 July, 2012

The Technical Director of Tamale Utrecht Football Academy, Mr. Jawhari Baba-Duah has intimated that, TUFA stands a mathematical chance to qualify to the middle league after the division one league had ended.

Speaking at a victory party with the players and technical team members of the club, the technical director noted that a win in their last match at Yeji against Juventus could present the club an opportunity to play in the middle league if the match between Guan United and Bazooka FC ends in a stalemate.

Tamale Utrecht won 3-0 today against Upper East United at the Tamale sports stadium and will play Yeji Juventus next Wednesday in Yeji.

‘We are under no pressure in the Yeji match, and can therefore cause an upset in a ground that the home team has not lost a point’ Mr. Jawhari said.

‘Mathematically, if Bazooka gets a draw in Tamale and the win in Yeji comes our way, then TUFA would have qualified for the middle league on head to head’. ’In football, its one step at a time, and we have yet another step to gamble with after shaking off this one today.’

‘We keep our fingers crossed’ Mr. Jawhari concluded.

The Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Abdulai Alhassan later presented a cash amount of GHC 80.00 each to all the 18 players and technical team members on behalf of a supporter who made a pledge to pay special bonuses to the team for a win.
