HOPES OF TITLE DEFENSE ENDS FOR LEGON HALL IN UG SOCCER LEAGUE.

  The men have finally been separated from the boys in the University of Ghana inter hall soccer league after group B witnessed its final match action yesterday.

The dream of a title defense has been cut short for Legon hall despite their 5-1 drubbing over bottom place United Nations hall (EVANDY).

Knowing very well their chances of playing in the top 4 competition was over; the premier hall came into the game to console themselves with a victory which was not denied them by EVANDY.

Edmund Nana Kyei’s brace and a goal each from Felix Ntiamoah, Derrick Kyei Gyasi and Afari Derrick was enough to give Legon hall the maximum points with Moses Andoh’s consolation goal not enough to cause any upset.

Speaking to Univers sports after the game, coach of Legon hall Akwasi Boakye Yiadom described how the season has been for his side as a nightmare full of injuries.

“Most of our key players got injured midway through the league and we even had to call up injured players for some of our matches because we were short in numbers in specific positions hence our poor run”.

In the other matches played in group B, Former champions Akuafo hall shared the spoils with 2^nd from bottom placed team Bani hall at the Ajax 1 park.

Striker Seth Awudi secured a point for the farmers after cancelling out Alex Nana Osei’s goal.

Akuafo hall had already booked their place in the top 4 competition hence the need to field most of their fringe players against a Bani side that came into the game for all the spoils.

Elsewhere, Group B leader’s commonwealth hall also had to wait till the last minute to keep their unbeaten run in the league intact after going down early in the game against 3^rd place James Topp Nelson Yankah hall (TF).

Enoch Koranteng gave TF the lead and forced commonwealth hall to chase their own shadows until Emmanuel Hanson saved the day for the vandals with his late equalizer.

The thrill of the local derbies here on campus was experienced once more in the final game of the season between neighbours Hilla limann hall and Elizabeth Sey hall after 4 goals were produced.

Limann hall announced their supremacy over Elizabeth sey hall with a 3-1 thumping.

After 14 matches played in group B, only two teams, Commonwealth hall and Akuafo hall have been able to stand tall among the 8 teams of the group and sealed their place in the top 4 competition slated for April 16^th, 2014.

For group A, it will take the last match day on Friday to realize the team that joins Mensah Sarbah hall to the top 4.

And with just one more place up for grabs in the top 4, GRASAG and the Distance team will be hoping to snatch it come this Friday.
