Ashantigold Coach C.K Akunnor and goalkeeper George Owu have been named NASCO Coach and player of the month of June respectively.
Akunnor fend off competition from WAFA Coach Klavs Rasmussen and Tema Youth coach Edward Odoom both of whom had led their sides to an impressive run in the month of June.
C.K has done an incredible job so far at Ashgold by lifting them from the relegation zone of the Ghana Premier League.
Owu who many doubted because of his age, now 34 has been in fine form for the miners and has been part of their recent success that has seen them rise to 13th on the league table.
Ashgold have won 4 of their last 5 matches and their last victory came against Hearts of Oak at the Accra sports stadium.
Meanwhile, George Owu becomes the first goalkeeper to win the monthly prize since its inception after being named ahead of his contenders; David Abagna of Wa All Stars and Joseph Paintsil of Tema Youth.
He registered an impressive four clean sheets in four matches in the month of June, helping his side move out of the relegation zone.
Sponsors of the Ghana Premier League's weekly Man of the Match awards and the monthly Player and Coach of the Month Awards, NASCO Electronics, will present its sleek Q6 mobile phones to the winners at their next league match in Obuasi this weekend when Ashantigold face leaders WAFA.
