KNUST top Ashanti hockey league

KNUST jumped to the summit of the Ashanti Regional hockey league table, albeit on goal difference after smashing Royals 3-1 in last Saturday's final first round matches.

They leapfrogged Bibiani, even though both teams are tied on eight points to set the stage for a fierce second round.

Ernest Karikari, Samuel Okyere, and Daniel Agyekum, all netted for KNUST before Anthony scored a consolation for Royals.

Bibiani were held to a 0-0 drawn game by third-placed side, Unique, as Seniors continue to occupy the bottom of the table.

The second round matches, which come off on Saurday, have been moved to the Paa Joe Park at KNUST because of the poor nature of the turf at the entrance of the Baba Yara Stadiun.

Kumasi Ladies play KNUST Ladies, Seniors engage KNUST male side, and Royals battle Unique.
