Champions Ampem Darkoa Ladies defeated Northern Ladies 3:0 to maintain their place at the top of the table in the Northern Zone.

Northern Ladies started the second half as the better side but their hopes were dashed in the 81st minute after Ophelia Serwaa Amponsah smashed in an inswinger to make it 3-0 for Ampem Darkoa Ladies.

Still in the Northern Zone, PearlPia Ladies were big winners on Matchday 12 following a five star performance on Saturday. Five first half goals from Iddi Sherifa, Ibrahim Barikisu and Samira Ayingura Akadigere, ensured that they recorded a 5-0 win over Fosu Royal Ladies to breathe life into their survival hopes.
