Squad

James Yeboah damages knee ligaments — 78 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 78 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad

Tempers go at Bechem United

Isaiah Nyarko was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

A bad afternoon for Bechem United against Hasaacas

0‑1 to Hasaacas, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

The dugout

Kabu Agyemang Raymond gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

The dugout

Francis Essien answers for it

“The supporters are entitled to be angry. So am I. We will put it right.” 0‑1, a manager saying the necessary things, and a dressing room that heard a different version of them.

Squad

A place in the month's best eleven for Darlvin Yeboah

Four or five weekends of consistency, judged against everybody in the division doing his job. Darlvin Yeboah has come out of that comparison in the side, and Bechem United have had the benefit of every one of those afternoons.

Squad

A Bechem United teenager takes the young player award

Darlvin Yeboah is 19, and for one weekend he was the best of everybody his age in the division. Nobody should build a career on it and everybody quietly does.

The dugout

When it matters, Charles Owusu plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The dugout

The plan did not have a place for Kabu Agyemang Raymond

Nobody at Bechem United is suggesting he is out of form. The manager simply wanted somebody with a different set of qualities for ninety specific minutes, and there is nothing a player can train to fix that.

Squad

The knee: James Yeboah out for 92 days

92 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Bechem United lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Match

The cup run ends for Bechem United

0‑2 against Berekum Chelsea, and the road stops here. Cup exits are quick deaths — no second leg, no next week, just the league from now until May.

Player ratings

Samuel Ayinebire Atubga, 19, steals the show — 9.33

Marked 9.33 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad

A day Samuel Ayinebire Atubga will not forget

3 goals in one game. The first was taken well, the second was taken greedily, and by the third the crowd were simply waiting for him to get the ball.

Squad

Real improvement from Augustine Afranie at Bechem United

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Augustine Afranie is 19, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Match

4 matches without a win for Bechem United

The run now stands at 4, and the questions being asked around Bechem United are no longer polite ones.

Match

8 goals as Bechem United and Berekum Chelsea go for it

Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 8 goals between Bechem United and Berekum Chelsea, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Squad

Time is catching up with Emmanuel Ampiah

Everybody at Bechem United saw it before anybody said it, which is how this always goes. At 34 the decline is real and measurable — 3 points — and the only question left is how the club handles somebody it owes a great deal to.

The terraces

Bechem United supporters have found a favourite in Samuel Ayinebire Atubga

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 19-year-old it feels ownership of. Samuel Ayinebire Atubga has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.
