Aduana - Premier League champions

Accra, May 12, GNA - Dormaa Ahenkro-based Aduana Stars has made history by becoming the first Club to win the Ghana Premier League title on their maiden season in the elite division.
Aduana clinched the League title on the final day of the season with a lone goal victory over visiting Berekum Arsenal at the Dormaa Park whilst their closest contenders Obuasi Ashantigold lost by a lone goal against Bechem Chelsea at the Golden City Park in Berekum.
Ashgold led the standings with a three-point margin prior to the final round of matches and needed to avoid defeat to remain on course for their first League title since 1996.
With the victory Aduana have finished on 53 points the same as Ashgold but have the upper-hand in terms of the head-to-head rule that was adopted by the Premier League Board (PLB) in case of a tie.
The League debutants beat Ashgold by a lone goal in Dormaa and managed a barren draw in the return encounter at Obuasi during the second round. By virtue of that, Aduana have a 1-0 aggregate win and it gives them the edge over Ashgold.
Meanwhile, Accra Great Olympics have been relegated for the third time in the history of the Club.
The "Wonder Club" as they are fondly called lost 1-5 to Kumasi Asante Kotoko in the season's final match at the Baba Yara Stadium on Wednesday which sealed their doom.
Prior to the final round of matches, the Sekondi duo of Eleven Wise and Hasaacas had confirmed their places in the second-tier of Ghana football next season.
Wise held All Stars to a 1-1 draw at Wa while Hasaacas lost 1-2 to Real Tamale United (RTU) to bid farewell to the Premier League. 12 May 10
