Match

No end in sight to Berekum Chelsea's wait for a win

6 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at Berekum Chelsea has to find a result from somewhere.

Squad

Richmond Lamptey 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 Berekum Chelsea this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match

Medeama take the points off Berekum Chelsea

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Samuel Amofa

“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.

Squad

Costly mistake from Yakubu Saeed

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Yakubu Saeed knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.

Player ratings

Seth Paintsil runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 14. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Market

Samuel Amofa asks to leave Berekum Chelsea

“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.

Market

Kwadwo Afful comes home

The shirt still fits. Kwadwo Afful is back at Berekum Chelsea, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Market

Baba Schlupp is a Berekum Chelsea player again

He left as a boy and has come back still knowing where the away end is. Most signings have to be explained to a town; this one needed a photograph and nothing else.

Market

Francis Appiah comes home

The shirt still fits. Francis Appiah is back at Berekum Chelsea, and half the ground remembers him in these colours already. Some signings need selling to the town; this one sold itself.

Squad

Tempers go at Berekum Chelsea

Seth Paintsil 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.

Match

A bad afternoon for Berekum Chelsea against Wa All Stars

0‑2 to Wa All Stars, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

The manager makes an example of Johnson Amuzu

“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.

Player ratings

Seth Paintsil runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 18. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad

Costly mistake from Eric Ofori-Antwi

An error at the back is a moment; an error in goal is a goal. Eric Ofori-Antwi knows it, the crowd knew it instantly, and there was nobody behind him to make it anything else.
