We were going for GPL title before league break due to COVID-19 - Medeama SC coach Boadu

Medeama SC head coach Samuel Boadu has revealed that his side was on course to win the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League side before the competition was halted due to coronavirus pandemic.

All football leagues have been halted since mid-March as part of measures to help curb the spread of the disease.

The Mauve and Yellow lads were at the summit of the league table at the time of the suspension but were deducted six points after fielding an unqualified player in their match against Great Olympics.

This saw them fall to sixth on the log.

"Considering our peak and our energetic young players, we were surely going for the title," Boadu told Wontumi Radio.

"We possessed the ball more in our games and so if you look at our numbers, we are a team that scores a lot of goals.

"Should the green light be given for the resumption of the league, we are ready to go all out for the title.

"We had targeted to pick at least five points from our next three crucial away games at Kotoko, Accra Hearts of Oak and Ashantigold.

"This is the analysis we did if we really could win the league."

The 2019/20 Premier League was at its match week 15 stage when it was halted with Aduana Stars leading the table with 28 points.

Meanwhile, the President of Ghana, Nana Akuffo Addo has extended the ban on sporting activities to July 31, however, the GFA has set June 30 as the date they decide the future of the league.

The FA proposed weekly testing of all players and also training in smaller groups but did not meet the expectation of the government.

Medeama are searching for their first league title.
