Coach of Ashanti Gold, C.K. Akonnor has called on his players to build on the club’s recent win over league-leaders WAFA, as they aim to beat the drop.

The Miners recorded a 2-0 win over the Academy Boys on Sunday – a result that moved them out of the relegation zone.

And their coach believes it was important to record such a result, following two successive loses to Elmina Sharks and Liberty Professionals, while also challenging his players to build on that.

"We have to build on this and try record impressive results going forward to keep our ambition of remaining in the league intact.
