On paper, Frank Sam’s Police Ladies appear a stronger side compared to Immigration Ladies, but it would be a herculean task to break the defence of the opponent built around Machoura Boukhari, Winnifred Donkor, Abigail Sarfor, Rosemary Ampem, with Rumanatu Tahiru, Sylvian Amankwah, and Faustina Kyeremeh leading the pack against a Jane Ayieyam, Cynthia Adjei, Elshadai Acheampong, Victoria Williams Teye, Beatrice Sesu side.
