The Betwinner Accra West District Third Division Middle league ended last Saturday as Adabraka Elders thrashed Abor Arsenal 4-0 to win the final game played at the Dansoman Carl Reindorf Park.
Two goals in each half ensured that Adabraka Elders took home the trophy at stake and qualified to play in second division next season.
It was a dominant performance from the Adabraka lads who gave their opponents no breathing space with their swift attacking prowess.
An excited Coach of Adabraka Elders, Richard Nai, who spoke after the match said “I am more than happy. In fact, I am over the moon. This is our third attempt after failing on two occasions. Our ambition going into division two is to establish ourselves in the league.”
He said management would beef up the squad to strengthen some key areas as they face a new challenge.
Captain of the club, Charles Nii Lante, added that “we have a very good coach who has License A, so I believe next season we can even qualify from division two. We have a very young squad.”
