Cape Coast, Aug. 14, GNA - Newly promoted Premier Division football club, Swedru All Blacks pipped Cape Coast Venomous Vipers 2-0 in a friendly football match played at the Robert Mensah Sports Stadium at the week-end.

All Blacks right from the blast of the whistle dominated and scored an opener in the 15th minute through a free kick expertly taken by midfielder Ishmael Yartey.

Vipers parading some of their newly signed on players, hit back gallantly and came close twice to scoring but their inside right Nathaniel Annan squandered the chances.

Vipers resumed the second half strongly and made frantic efforts to equalize but the able defence of All Blacks kept them in check. Their hopes of drawing level with All Blacks were shattered when substitute Mohammed Razak exploited a defensive blunder in the 81st minute to increase the tally to 2-0.
