Oly’s unbeaten record on the line against Aduana FC …Hearts face Samartex today
Accra Great Olympics’ enviable unbeaten record will be on the line when they travel to Dormaa to face the might of Aduana Stars at the Dormaa Park in a top betPawa Ghana Premier League match day six game tomorrow.
That game would certainly test Oly’s title credentials – having started the season brilliantly, registering its biggest scoreline in recent times the previous match day – a 3-0 thrashing of Accra Lions.
Aduana were hurt by their defeat to Kotoko last week and would vent their anger on the Wonder Club who are also not ready to surrender that desirable feat.
Results have not been fair to Olympics in matches against Aduana and coming on at Dormaa, a waterloo, Coach Annor Walker and his charges would have to dig deep to get a point.
Accra Hearts of Oak will aim to breathe life in their campaign when they welcome FC Samartex to the Accra Sports Stadium today.
The game to be officiated by Jacob Aduntera will see both sides fighting fiercely for the points at stake especially the Phobians who appear to be struggling at the initial stages of the competition.
With only four points to boast of from a possible 15, Hearts face a must win situation to give meaning to Togbe Afede XIV’s declaration that the Phobians would sweep the League trophy and FA Cup.
At the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium in Tamale, Karela United would hope to bounce back when they host Bofoakwa Tano in a game expected to be full of thrills.
Bofoakwa enjoyed life at the summit of the table until the previous weekend when they were upstaged by Olympics, the current leaders.
This game offers another opportunity to reclaim that position with a win and hope the other challengers for the top spot drop points.
But Karela who lost last week would provide a tall mountain for the Sunyani lads to climb.
At Dawu, Dreams FC will face high-flying Medeama SC in another exciting encounter.
At the Nana Konamansah Park, Legon Cities will play as guests of Nsoatreman while Bibiani Gold Stars host Heart of Lions at the DUN’S Park.
In other matches, Bechem United would play against Berekum Chelsea at Bechem at Bechem; Nations FC will slug it out against Asante Kotoko.

Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation –Pres.Mahama
President John Dramani Mahama has expressed concern over the misuse of State-Owned Enterprises (SOEs) for personal financial gain by individuals in leadership positions.
Speaking during a meeting with Chief Executives of specified entities under the State Interest and Governance Authority (SIGA) on Thursday, March 13, the President directly attributed the dire state of SOEs to their leadership, accusing chief executives, management teams, and governing boards of prioritising personal enrichment over organisational efficiency.
He pointed to bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures as factors draining public funds while SOEs continue to rely on government bailouts.
“Many SOEs have been used as mere instruments for personal wealth accumulation by appointees. The chief executives, management, and boards of these enterprises are responsible for this situation. Some SOEs have become perennial loss-makers, draining public funds with bloated budgets, unjustified allowances, and unnecessary expenditures while relying on government bailouts as if entitled to them. Many of these entities are at their lowest point in the entire history of the Fourth Republic,” he said.
President Mahama further noted that many SOEs have been plagued by inefficiencies, corruption, and mismanagement, leading to consistent financial losses. He cited the 2023 State Ownership Report by the State Interests and Governance Authority (SIGA), which highlighted systemic inefficiencies and wasteful expenditures within these entities.
He therefore reaffirmed his commitment to reforming under-performing SOEs and ensuring they serve national interests.
He warned that loss-making SOEs will no longer be tolerated and will either be merged, privatised, or closed.
“I will assess you based on your performance. If you do not align with the pace of the reset agenda, you may be asked to step aside. If that adds to the horror movie, so be it,” he added.
