Uncle T United Dare Hearts

Division One campaigners, Uncle T United FC, have dared Accra Hearts of Oak as they cross swords in the Tier II special competition.

The draw, held at the studios of GTV Sports Plus on Sunday, pitted the Phobians against Uncle T United at the Accra Sports Stadium tomorrow.

And according to Isaac Tetteh (TT Brothers), president of Uncle T and former Hearts of Oak management member, the clash offers his side an opportunity to avenge the Pobiman 0-1 friendly game loss few months ago. 

“I see the draw as an opportune time to pay Hearts in their own coin, you remember we lost painfully to Hearts due to a defensive error, we see Wednesday’s game as an opportunity to teach them soccer lesson,” TT Brothers said.

In other games, Asante Kotoko will face Real Tamale United (RTU) in another tricky tie. 

After the conclusion of the group phase of the Tier I competition, 32 teams qualified for the Tier II competition, with eight from the Premier League division and 24 from the lower division.

The pairings were made according to zones to avoid the huge costs involved in travelling to match centres.

The Tier II competition represents the FA Cup, and will be played in a knock-out format.

The ultimate winner will represent Ghana at the CAF Confederations Cup next season.

Meanwhile, the winner of the Tier I competition is yet to be determined after Hearts, Kotoko, Karela and Ashantigold reached the semis.

The winner of the Tier I competition will also represent Ghana at the CAF Champions League.

In all, 32 matches will be played today and tomorrow.
