Hearts/Tema Youth match fixed for December 31

Accra, Dec 22, GNA 96 The Professional League Board, (PLB) organizers of the Onetouch Premier League has fixed Sunday, December 31 for the outstanding league game at the Tema Sports Stadium between newly promoted Tema Youth and Accra Hearts of Oak. The decision follows a successful meeting between the two Clubs and the PLB that was held on Wednesday, December 20. A statement signed by Mr Kweku Ampim-Darko copied to the GNA Sports has therefore asked the Chairman of the Regional Football Association (RFA), Regional Sports Development Officer and Referees Appointment Committee to take note of the decision taken and organize the match accordingly.

Hearts failed to appear for the Seventh Week game against Tema Youth after it received a court injunction which sought to restrain the PLB and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) from organizing the seventh week league games. The Disciplinary Committee of the GFA declared Hearts the losers of the game and deducted three points from their total point build up. The decision was however reversed by the Appeals Committee and ordered for a replay of the game as well as the restoration of three points to Hearts.
