JUL 30, 2016 LISTEN

Hearts of Oak U20 side ‪Auroras were held to a 0-0 draw by Accra Newtown Youth in the match-day 7 of the 2016 Greater Accra Regional Division Two Zone 3 League at the Tesano Police Depot Park on Friday.

The young Phobians had to hold their own against the robust and experienced Newtown Youth side for the opening 45 minutes, but they returned strongly in the second half and were unlucky not to have won all the three points late in the game.

At full-time, the two sides appeared happy with the points shared as they both recorded their 11th point of the campaign from six matches.

Head Coach Stephen Abugri named a strong lineup for the clash with Newtown with skipper Daniel Yeboah, Daniel Fokuo and Osman Olubaba playing just behind lone striker Mawunyo Agolo.

The visitors got off to a good start, capitalizing on a mistake on the left side of the home defense to create an opening in the Auroras box.

But the young Phobians were saved when the flag went up after the visitors had planted the ball firmly at the back of the net from a sweet counter attack.

Auroras XI vs Newtown Youth: Richard Mantey, Enoch Addo, George Tonnyi, Reuben Tetteh, Bernard Laryea, Ibrahim Mickey (Ernest Annan), Osman Olubaba, Enoch Addo (Baba Moro), Mawunyo Agolo, Daniel Yeboah (c ), Daniel Fokuo

Unused substitutes: Innocent Adjah, Philip Antwi, Richard Baidooo
