On paper, Frank Sam’s Police Ladies appear a stronger side compared to Immigration Ladies, but it would be a herculean task to break the defense of the opponent built around Machoura Boukhari, Winnifred Donkor, Abigail Sarfor, Rosemary Ampem, with Rumanatu Tahiru, Sylvian Amankwah, and Faustina Kyeremeh leading the pack against a Jane Ayieyam, Cynthia Adjei, Elshadai Acheampong, Victoria Williams Teye, Beatrice Sesu side.

Also, in the Southern Zone, is title contenders, Hassacas Ladies who are second on the league table with 10 points would host Sea Lions at the Gyandu Park on Saturday. Sea Lions are at the bottom of the table and a win against Hassacas Ladies guided by Yussif Basigi would boost their confidence to march on in the league.
