Ashgold stretch lead

Ashgold’s championship aspiration was yesterday given a boost when they overpowered stubborn Medeama FC 2-1 at the Len Clay Stadium at Obuasi.

The miners had to sweat for victory as the visitors scored the opener through Kwasi Bonso as early as the seventh minute.

But the miners worked hard and managed to pull the equaliser in the 32nd minute through Didier Kore.

Medeama held on strongly but could not resist the promptings of the homesters and yielded 10 mintes to full time when Kore converted a penalty awarded the miners.
