A fracture rules Nasoni Mereke out for 14 days
Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason BA All Stars will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Isaac Boateng asks to leave BA All Stars
“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Yakubu Dogo is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 22 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.
Match4 Sep 2027
Hasaacas take the points off BA All Stars
Beaten 3‑5, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
Player ratings6 Sep 2027
Johnson Owusu scored one and made one — 7.79
Two of the goals had his name somewhere on them, which is the afternoon a manager wants from anybody asked to both create and finish. 7.79, and 2 involvements.

Nasoni Mereke comes home
The shirt still fits. Nasoni Mereke is back at BA All Stars, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Tempers go at BA All Stars
Thomas Schlupp 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.
Match4 Sep 2027
8 goals as BA All Stars and Hasaacas go for it
Defending was optional and nobody took up the option. 8 goals between BA All Stars and Hasaacas, and not one of the people who paid to be there will ask for the money back.

Johnson Owusu has improved at 29, which nobody expected
Careers are supposed to plateau and then decline, and the players who ignore that are always the ones who were listening on the training ground. 3 points of it, over months, at an age where the direction normally only goes one way.
