Hearts to appeal Ghana FA fines

Hearts of Oak have appealed fines handed two of their players for misconduct during the Premier League clash at Ebusua Dwarfs.

The Ghana FA handed Uriah Asante and Mahatma Otoo 750 Ghana cedi fine each for using an unapproved route to enter the Stadium which delayed kick-off in their week-six fixture at the Robert Mensah Stadium.

But the capital-based club insists authorities got it wrong.

"We're taken steps to pay the fine on the club but we believe the fine on the two players is not in the right direction and as such we have appealed against the decision," Hearts PRO Albert Commey said.

"It wasn't their effort that resulted in the delay of the game. They were prevented from entering the stadium under circumstances beyond their control.

"The FA handed them a raw deal and we hope they will listen to reason."

However, Hearts were slapped with a US$ 1000 fine
