For their splendid performance that saw the team coming from a 2-1 down to secure a final 2-3 victory from the clutches of an exciting Bechem United side, Team Kotoko have drawn a lot of commendation and congratulations from supporters of the club.

As a witness to the match and the tension thereof, the vice chairman of the Brong Ahafo Circles’ Council(BARCC) and also the Chairman for Circle 43 of Sunyani, Kingsley Abeyie, has sent a special message of commendations and congratulations to management, the technical and the playing body for the wonderful display of gallantry in a match that Kotoko had to come from behind to seal victory.

According to him, though Bechem United chose to play their home match at the Baba Yara Stadium, the match was still their council’s operation and so they did not relax on their oars as per the preparation for the match.

On the match, he expressed satisfaction at the determination with which Kotoko players re-organized themselves and stepped up their fight when Bechem United jumped into lead.

“I was delighted with the way the team turned the scoring table in our favor. Coach Maxwell lived up to his tactical astuteness by changing the game plan and also making some brave substitutions”.

“I am happy and thankful to the team for doing the supporters good with their splendid performance”.

As their contribution to the clarion call by management on all supporter groups in the country to rise to their responsibilities by assisting the team to win all their matches be it home or away, the BARCC says they are up to the challenge set by management.

“Kotoko is scheduled to play four matches against Brong Ahafo teams and so we of the BARCC have launched Operation 12 points, aimed at ensuring that Kotoko win all the matches to be played in our region”.

“Playing against Bechem United was the first of those matches and we are happy that together, we all did our individual parts to ensure that Kotoko won. It is an issue of one down, three more to go and we are going to continue with the preparation for those matches”.

Kingsley also sent a special message to his fellow supporter groups by calling on them to assist management in their quest to win trophies and honors for the club.

“Much as supporters have been doing well in their support of the club, it is important for us to rise up and channel all our results to management by easing the heavy financial burdens on the team”.

“Our contribution, no matter how small or big they may be will go a long way to help ease the pressure on management. Dr. Sarpong has assured us of winning trophies this season and he can only do it when we actively get involved,” he ended.
