A knee injury of the worst kind for Abraham Atiemo
46 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Hasaacas lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Joseph Essien hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what Hasaacas can pretend not to have heard.

Asante Kotoko come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Hasaacas did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
The dugout3 Jan 2028
Andre Bukari: that is not what I was promised
“Things were said to me before I signed. I am not going to repeat them, but I remember all of them.” Hasaacas have not answered, which is an answer of sorts.

The season belongs to Abdul Annan
An individual honour is a strange thing in a team game, and the best of them are never argued with. He has had the sort of year that ends with his name being read out, and Hasaacas have had the benefit of it.

Abdul Asante is in the form of his life
A season average of 7.30 with 16 goals behind it. Opponents have started planning around him, which is the sincerest compliment football pays.

A falling-out at Hasaacas
Sa'ad Tijjani and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
The terraces3 Jan 2028
One of their own: Gladson Inusah
He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.
Match1 Jan 2028
Hasaacas get the job done against Wa All Stars
A 2‑0 win over Wa All Stars, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.
In brief

- The dugout The manager makes an example of Albert Annan
