Palmer expresses delight with Appeals Committe ruling

President of Tema Youth, Wilfred Osei Palmer has expressed satisfaction with the outcome of the long standing legal case against Dreams FC for fielding an unqualified player.

The Appeals Committee were mandated by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) to review its decision after Tema Youth petitioned the verdict of the previous hearings by the Disciplinary Committee of the GFA.

The Appeals Committee finally ruled on Wednesday that Dreams FC’s Cudjoe Mensah, was unqualified to play in the match between Tema Youth and Dreams FC and the latter must be held liable for the irregular registration of the player.

Tema Youth have been declared victors in the case regarding the eligibility of Dreams FC’s Cudjoe Mensah who featured in the clash between the two sides.

Speaking to Happy FM’s Anopa Bosuo sports, Wilfred Palmer says he’s delighted to have been declared winner.

“I’m very much happy now because the journey that we started that nobody gave us a chance, a journey that we started that all sorts of insinuations were cast on my very person as Wilfred Osei and that of my club that were express to even my financial capacity, but when God is in control, you don’t need a lot of resources,” says Osei Palmer.

“I’m very grateful that the players, the technical team and the club to have imposed confidence in me. I showed and demonstrated leadership at that level that irrespective of difficulties in the system, I was able to hold the fort. In the face of financial difficulties, the money to pay for the CAS filing and even to still compete in the league, was very difficult to operate.

“Last year by this time, I had given up hope but I something told that, at the end of the tunnel my light will shine.”
