Winning Top Four not Ashgolds' priority - Coach Duncan

Accra, Aug 4, GNA - Ashgold sits atop of the Ghalca Top Four summit after two games but Coach David Duncan yet insists winning the trophy is only a remote dream.

Coach Duncan's team remains the only side with a win in the two games so far played but the tough talking coach tells GNA Sports his priority is to strike a good balance between the old and new players as he readies for the season ahead.

The Coach transformed an Ashgold side that escaped relegation by

the teeth two seasons ago to one that took the Premiership by storm a

year after and only lost the Premiership title on the head-to-head count

to get a place in the Top Four tourney.

Coach Duncan says whiles winning the trophy would be a major bonus

and boost to the team; he is preoccupied with learning about the

strengths and weaknesses of his charges with the tourney.

Ashgold hosts Hearts of Oak on match day three in Obuasi on Sunday

and Coach Duncan said plotting the right strategy to contain the

Phobians and hit the Club's stride with time remains his guiding

principle.

"I hope we get it right from the start knowing if the Phobians score

first it will be difficult; but how we respond will be equally crucial".

Ashgold beat Aduana Stars in Obuasi in the tourney's opener and

drew goalless with Kpando Heart of Lions to stay on top of the four-team

competition on four points.
