R.T.U win promotion to Ghana Premier League

Real Tamale United have staged a quick return to the Premier League, one year after being demoted to the second-tier league.

The Tamale-based side won their third-straight match in the Division One League play-offs on Wednesday to gain promotion for next season's premiership with 9 points.


A 4-1 win against Unity F.C. in the top-of-the-table Zone I clash at the Baba Yara Stadium secured Mohammed Gargo's side promotion.


Both sides had won two straight matches apiece ahead of their meeting but it was Unity F.C led the standings with a better goal advantage and needed only a draw to pick the sole qualifying slot.


R.T.U. will now have to prepare for the start of the 2012-13 Premier League which commences in October.


In the other game, Bofokwa Tano were 1-0 winners over Bazooka F.C at the Bekwai Park but that result made no difference to the qualification

A thrilling finish to the competition in Zone III saw Tema-based Amidaus Professionals secure their debut promotion to the elite division after edging past King Solomon and Instanbul to the qualifying ticket.


Level on four points but adrift on goal difference to Instanbul prior to kick off, Amidaus managed a 1-0 win against King Solomon in Gyandu to finish the competition with 7 points, three more than Instanbul.


Instanbul's chances were ended following a 1-0 in Cape Coast to bottom side, Danbort in Zone III.
