Princesses face tricky Equatorial Guinea test
Ghana's Under-20 female football team, Black Princesses, face a tricky test in Equtorial Guinea as they resume their quest for a ticket to next year's Women's World Cup (WWC) in Papua New Guinea.
On Saturday, the Princesses come face to face again with Equatorial Guinea almost a year after edging them out of the final round of qualifiers to qualify for the 2014 WWC in Canada.

In the wake of that last defeat, the Princesses are anticipating a tough encounter as the Eqauto Guineans will seek to avenge that loss and possibly keep their dream of their first U-20 WWC on course.
Stand-in coach, Masa-Ud Didi Dramani last Monday told the Graphic Sports that they were very much aware of the uncompromising nature of the match ahead and have adequately prepared for it.
After watching his side beat Police Ladies 2-0 and Ideal Ladies 5-0 in their final trial matches, Coach Dramani said the ladies were ready.
"Thankfully, most of them played against Equatorial Guinea in similar qualifiers in both theUnder-17 and Under-20 qualifiers and so have a fair idea of what is ahead of them this time around.
"We are not taking any chances and will strategise to counter whatever the Equato- Guineans will throw at us. No team want to be beaten twice on the trot by the same team so we expect a very tough game," he said.
