Ghana to stick with Satellites

Accra, Sept 28, GNA - No alteration would be made to the Black Satellites team that laboured to beat Gambia 2-1 in the last African Youth Championship (AYC) qualifier played at the Ohene Djan Stadium in Accra on Sunday.

Ghana was off colour for most part of the game but Coach Sellas Tetteh told GNA Sports that he would stick with his charges when they journey to Banjul in a fortnight in search of a result that could qualify them to the 2009 AYC slated for Rwanda.

He said Ghana would seek to make amends in the return leg. Coach Tetteh assigned skipper Ransford Osei's inability to glitter as the major reason why the team produced an unimpressive display. "Osei's inability to click affected our game plan."

The Coach told GNA Sports that the Team would fight for a respectable result to qualify for the biennial event, at which Ghana has been absent on two consecutive times.

Coach Tetteh was optimistic about the Team's chances insisting; "we are going back to the drawing board to correct our mistakes and make sure we deliver".

Goals from Rabui Mohammed and Samuel Inkoom gave the Satellites 2-1 win over the Gambians.
