Former Premiership campaigners, Tema Youth have received a huge boost from Kumasi Asante Kotoko in their quest to make it back to the Ghanaian top-flight football.

Ahead of their second game in the ongoing Zone Three middle league, the Porcupines have presented some items to the Tema-based club to aid their qualification.

Kotoko on Monday presented 20 cartons each of Voltic mineral water and energy drinks to Tema Youth at a short ceremony at the Tema Sports Stadium.

Alhaji Lamini of Lamini Investments a Tema based firm, made the presentation on behalf of Kotoko who hold a good sporting relations with Tema Youth.

An amount of GHC 1,000 came with the presentation and according to Alhaji Lamini, it is geared towards boosting the moral of Tema Youth as they seek to bounce back to the Premiership.

He charged the club to make the most of this opportunity by qualifying to the elite division next season.

Club administrator, Winfred Osei ‘Parma’ received the items on behalf of Tema Youth and pledged that the club will do all within their means to make it back to the Premiership.

Tema Youth plays Tete Atempong on Thursday at Sekondi in their second game of the zonal middle league before engaging D’International in their last game on Saturday. They lead the standing on goal difference from D’International after accounting for King Solomon 3-2 in their first game.

Victory in their next two games will see them make it back to the top-flight after being relegated under acrimonious circumstances three seasons ago.
