League Report Not prepared: Supporters warn Kotoko to pull out of SWAG Cup
NOV 25, 2015 LISTEN

The national supporters group of Kumasi Asante Kotoko called National Circles Council (NCC) has called on the management and technical team of their idol club to pull out of the Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) Cup.

SWAG announced that the league champions, Ashanti Gold will face Asante Kotoko in its invitational Cup to honour H.P Nyamatei, the first Ghanaian to be appointed as the CEO of Ghana Insurance Company (SIC), the sponsor of the SWAG Cup and the two clubs agreed to honour the game.

However, with some few days to the match, the supporters of Asante Kotoko have warned the club to pull out because they are not in a good form to play against in-form Ashanti Gold, who beat them to win the Otumfuo Cup.

'The supporters have met and we have decided that Kotoko should not play the SWAG Cup, because the team is not in a good form to face Ashanti Gold, who defeated us to win the Otumfuo Cup.

'We have recruited new players into our team, so the team is yet to play as a unit. This means we have to start with low profile games, not a high one like against Ashgold Gold. They should pull out to save us from any embarrassment, Twum Barima,' the PRO of the NCC told Hot FM.

Kotoko last season went trophyless when they failed to defend neither the FA Cup nor league title they won last two seasons,  so the SWAG Cup is an opportunity to get a silverware, ahead of the 2015-16 season which is tentatively scheduled to start on 20 December.
