"How the mighty are falling"

Accra, Nov. 15, GNA - It is amazing the world of difference a week could make in the life of a Club. Only a week ago, Bechem Chelsea enjoyed raving reviews for their stunner against then Premier League leaders, Kessben FC and their eventual leapfrog to the summit of the table. Chelsea, seven days on, are still atop the 16-team table but the reality of maintaining a winning spree or chalking any form of surprises must be beginning to sink in after their 1-3 defeat to Ebusua Dwarfs in Cape Coast last Sunday.

Dwarfs perhaps managed to dry their tears from their defeat to the League debutants B.A Stars last week earlier than Chelsea could cut short their celebrations over Kessben's victory that traveled the length, thanks to the media raves.

It is one thing climbing the apex of the League but it is another maintaining that form and composure, and it is exactly the reality check that Dwarfs who are five points behind the league leaders', taught Chelsea at the Robert Mensah Stadium.

Kessben's second successive loss that came at the dreadful Golden City Park against Berekum Arsenals was enough to drop the Sekondi-based team that has lost three times in 11-weeks to third, after the 0-2 loss that has left question marks on the formers' invincibility.

With Wa All Stars keeping the strides intact, the Kwesi Nyantakyi team's amazing consistency could not be halted by B.A Stars in Wa where the homers have dropped only a point from a possible 18.

Now on second place, only a point adrift leaders Chelsea, the meet between two teams on Sunday when All Stars hit the road to Golden City Park in Berekum makes for an interesting fixture in a battle that determines who moves from or to the top.

Kumasi Asante Kotoko's misery continues with a fourth successive loss in a manner not even their newly found "Messiah", Coach Bogdan Korak of Serbia could halt. Daniel Nii Adjei might have scored from the spot but the "Porcupine Warriors" slump will require more than a "Messiah" to evolve if their output against New Edubiase was anything to go bye. Kotoko are yet to find their shine and that the team has lost their confidence is a truism that cannot be contested. When they hit the road on Sunday, with their destination at Sunyani where they face B.A Stars who are second from bottom, one thing will be obvious, only a win can restore that confidence.

Accra Hearts of Oaks were poor for the second time in two weeks in local derbies that left Liberty Professionals and a bruised Tudu Mighty Jets as the victors.

Having lost to Liberty only a week after ditching Kotoko at home, the Phobians required a lift against the struggling debutants whose fortune has been helped with the return of sensational striker, Aaron Amoah and arrival of a new coach, Jonas Amissah. The former Tano Bofoakwa and All Blacks coach seem to be leading a transformation at the Club whose win over Hearts remains their third in eleven duels.

In Dansoman, defending League Champions, Aduana Stars picked a point off Liberty whose shine against Hearts last was dimmed throughout the game. Real Tamale United (RTU) will know their fate later when they meet Heart of Lions in Kpando in a bid to rescue their campaign after the game was rained off on Sunday. Mid-table occupants, Obuasi Ashgold's home duel with Kumasi King Faisal was also rained off. 15 Nov. 10
