PLB expectant of a competitive second round

The Premier League Board (PLB) has told Sportscrusader.com that it expects nothing short of a more competitive and entertaining second round of the 2015/16 Ghana Premier League (GPL) season.

The 2015/16 season has been arguably one of the best the domestic league has witnessed. Surprisingly, even without a headline sponsor, battling litigation as well as reported match-fixing allegations, plus other challenges, the organisers of the league, the PLB, have found reason to be expectant of an improvement on the reminder of the season.

The Public Relations Officer (PRO) of the PLB, Tamimu Issa, in an interview with Sportscrusader.com, mentioned the body’s satisfaction after having to jump many hurdles to get the season underway.

“The biggest challenge for us (PLB) is to maintain the high standard of the first round and how to improve upon it as well. We are very expectant of witnessing an improved and competitive second round of the league,” he told Sportscrusader.com.

“As we approach the latter part of the league, stakes will be higher as those fighting for the league title will up their games and the relegation strugglers will fight as well in their quest to survive exiting the top flight of Ghana Football.”

The second round of the 2015/16 will continue, as match week 18 fixtures will be duly played on July 9 at the various league venues.
