The time for assessment and cuddling seem to be over, paving the way for a crackling third week matches this weekend, as the division one league gathers momentum.

And apart from the excitement that has engulfed the league, the competitiveness promises to be even keener with the institution of a special award scheme to enhance goal scoring. The highest goal scoring team each week, receives 100, 000 cedis to bolster the striking prowess of players.

The top liner this weekend certainly, is the encounter between A.C Olympiakos and Tema Real Sportive at the Dawu Sports Stadium.

After a breathtaking 3-1 victory over beleaguered Tudu Mighty Jets in their first match at the Accra Sports Stadium, Olympiakos' second assignment was not to be, as their next opponents, Great Afienya United, were involved in a motor accident a few kilometres to the Koforidua Stadium, venue for last Wednesday's encounter.

Three of the team's players were seriously injured and is not even clear whether the club is ready psychologically to honour this weekend matches.

Joseph Ade Coker, President of Olympiakos could quit from football if his team fails to book a place in next premiership after his first attempt failed since moving out of Accra Great Olympics.

Against this backdrop, both players and officials are approaching every match with all the seriousness it deserves and this Sunday's encounter would not be exception. But Sportive who were thumped 3-1 by Kwaebibirem at the Accra Stadium last Wednesday would try to salvage their image with at least a draw; making the encounter very dicey.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA), is yet to come out with s statement as to whether Afienya should honour their match against Mighty Jets or not scheduled for the Legon Park.

Kwaebibirem whose morale has been reinforced after last Wednesday's 3-1 victory over Sportive are tipped for another sweet victory over whipping boys, Mamobi Midtjilland at the Liberty Park.
