The Wa All Stars Courier
Match11 Dec 2027
The wait goes on for Wa All Stars
11 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Gladson Mensah keeps Wa All Stars in it on his own
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Tempers go at Wa All Stars
Abdul Adjei 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.

Asante Kotoko take the points off Wa All Stars
Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

No hiding place for Harrison Nuhu
“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Harrison Nuhu, and the manager let it.

Steven Nufour falls out with a teammate over standards
The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Harrison Afful signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Harrison Afful commits to Wa All Stars for another 3 years.

The view from the dugout
“We will look at it, we will learn from it, and we go again.” The three sentences every manager keeps for a 1‑2 defeat, delivered by Samuel Afful to a room that had heard them before.

Afriyie Baba knocks on the manager’s door
“Thirty minutes, door closed, everything said. We shook hands after.” Whatever was in the room stayed in the room, and Afriyie Baba trained the next morning like a man with less to carry.
In brief
- The dugout Yaw Kudus has become a man the manager trusts
- Market Kwadwo Partey placed on the list
- Player ratings Hensen Anponsa beats them one at a time
