Match

Samson Obi leads the rout of Great Olympics

3‑0, and Samson Obi took the headlines on an afternoon when everything New Edubiase United tried came off. Days like this are retold all winter.

Market

Mpho Mathekgane 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 New Edubiase United can pretend not to have heard.

Player ratings

Samson Obi scores twice — 9.08

Two goals and a mark of 9.08 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Boardroom

Graduation day at New Edubiase United

5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Player ratings

Mpho Mathekgane was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.80. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Market

One of our own: Jeffrey Partey joins the New Edubiase United first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jeffrey Partey is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Felix Boakye steps up from the New Edubiase United academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Felix Boakye 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.

Market

One of our own: Afriyie Annan joins the New Edubiase United first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Afriyie Annan is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Bernard Agyemang

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

In brief
