Jabu Mokone runs at them all day
Successful dribbles: 36. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Age has not caught Mohammed Acquah yet — 7.90
At 35 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.90 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Thomas Acquah puts it in writing
“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at Wa All Stars, and it is not being withdrawn.

Wa All Stars say no — this time
The offer from New Edubiase United for Samuel Owusu was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Nana Inusah in a row with a teammate
It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Wa All Stars this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Boardroom7 Sep 2026

The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.

Wa All Stars get the job done against Berekum Chelsea
A 3‑2 win over Berekum Chelsea, earned rather than given, and the sort of afternoon that sends everyone home talking about next week instead of this one.

The crowd has taken to Jabu Mokone
At 21 he is being sung about by people twice his age, which is an affection a signing has to earn over years and a local kid gets for turning up. It is also the hardest thing in football to live up to.

Andre Acquah steps up from the Wa All Stars academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Andre Acquah has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
