Power F/C vows to halt Hearts

Relegation threatened Koforidua Power F/C has vowed to halt league leaders, Accra Hearts of Oak, in their mid week encounter at the Accra Sports Stadium on Wednesday.

Team Manager, Eric Michel told the GNA Sports that Power was bent on adding Hearts to their scanty victims in order to escape relegation.

'We are doing everything humanly possible for our boys to be motivated enough to beat the Phobians at home," he added.

On whether it is possible for the electricity boys to beat their more experienced opponent who are bent on wining the all important Wednesday league title decider in front of their fans, he conceded that though it would be Herculean task, they are bent on causing a stare in the Phobians camp.

When asked about their motivation package for the team, Mr. Mishel said the team could be paid extra allowances should the boys go all out to execute the coup de grace as planed.

The electricity boys are currently walloping in the danger zone and would need to win their last two games to survive the relegation.

Being one of the teams that were promoted to the premier league, Power look certain to visit the relegation zone again should they fail to secure the remaining six very important points on Wednesday and Sunday. It would be recalled that the Phobians piped them 1-0 at Koforidua in the first round encounter after they had played a determined game.
