FOSU ROYAL LADIES VRS ASHTOWN LADIES

Debutants, Fosu Royal Ladies have had a stellar campaign – per their standards, following their promotion to the topflight. The Techiman side are 6th with 21 points and a win against Ashtown Ladies will keep them in the League.

DREAMZ LADIES VRS SUPREME LADIES
