“Well, it’s been a good game,” Adams said. “I sat and was watching the game with the assistant coach of the senior national team, John Paintsil.

“He’s been a player and a coach before, so he was kind of running comment as the game went on in the first half. We are impressed with the quality of play.

Kofi Adams praised the league, saying, “I have watched some of the premier clubs play, and I have watched this Division One here, and I have really enjoyed the quality of play.

“We are impressed with the quality of play. It looks like the Division One League looks very healthy and interesting than sometimes when you watch the Premier League.”
