The Zone One Polythank Middle league started off well yesteday
after weeks of boardroom wranglings with Bazooka FC of Wa who gained late entry
after winning points from Samba Stars took on Bechem United at the Anane Boateng
Park at Abrankese home to premier league side Kessben FC.
Bechem Fc who were the pundits pre-match favourates, expectedly
imposed themselves in the match from the blast of Referee G.K Manu's whistle but
squandered all the chances that fell their way especially in the first half. Bazooka
FC raised their game somehow in the second department of the game but Bechem still
looked dangerous upfront which eventually led to them been awarded a penalty but
Papa Yaw's kick was saved by the woodwork with twenty munites to full time.
Then Drama started unfolding as a group of supporters
believed to be Bechem United fans turned to support Bazooka Fc, who from the start
of the match had to rely on the support of their reserve players. Upon
investigation, the supporters group denied being actual Bechem United Supporters but
are rather Kessben Fc fanatics. The group claimed they were at a funeral in the town
when an official of Kessben FC contacted them to come to the venue and support
Bechem United since the two clubs have the same colours and more importantly a
management member of Bechem had promised to pay them before the game ends. But the
group claimed the said management member turned deaf ears to their plea of getting
transportation fares to their funeral grounds and therefore sang and cheered the
Bazooka FC team to secure a deservedly goaless drawn game to the amazement of the
crowd. Bazooka Fc after the match were thankful the
supporters and asked for the same gesture from the fans in their subsequent matches
at the venue.

In the other group match, B.A Stars FC beat Upper East United by 2 goals
to 1 to enhance their chances of qualifying to the elite division. The next fixtures
comes off on thursday with Upper East United taking on Bechem at he Baba Yara
Stadium with B.A Stars versus Bazooka FC at Abrankese.
