High flying Bekwai Academy have secured a ticket to the 2016 Division Two middle league for a chance to join the Division One League following their 3-1 win over Obuasi-based side Vita Club.

Two goals from Richard Berko and one from Aminu Mohammed ensured the Bekwai-based side triumphed over their opponents despite playing away from home.

With support from the sitting Member of Parliament for the Bekwai Constituency, Joe Osei Owusu, the head coach of Bekwai Academy is hopeful his side will make it into the second tier league.

"We have enjoyed tremendous support from him (The MP) and we are hopeful that he will continue to support us in the middle league,"Coach Abdul Rahman said.

"We are determined to make it into the Division One League next season to relive football in Bekwai," he added.

The average age of the Bekwai Academy side is 19 and the coach says it has been their main driving force.

The date for the middle league is not yet out as the Ashanti Region Football Association are yet to announce a new date after changing the original 3rd October date for the competition.
