Olympics targets third position on the league.

David Duncan, head coach of Accra Great of Olympics, on Friday said his club is now gunning for the third position in the national premier league, which has just four matches to end. Speaking in an interview, Coach Duncan told the GNA sports that after working hard to move to the fourth position, "their main aim now is to wrestle the third position from Liberty Professionals".

"We can achieve this by winning the remaining four matches which would see us playing Liberty and Accra Hearts of Oak". According to the coach the entire playing body is now focussed on the realisation of this dream.

The coach said his boys are currently on break following the suspension of the national premier league adding that they would resume training on Tuesday October 8, to start preparing for the remaining matches.

The coach said, "The club would look ahead and see what to do in the future if they are able to achieve their target" adding that the GHALCA Top Four would be their next target.

Coach Duncan took over Olympics when coach J.E Sarpong resigned from the team on account of its declining fortunes. Olympics were then wallowing in the relegation zone, but with hard work, he has managed to move the club to the fourth position on the league table with 38 points while Liberty are lying third with 47 points.
