Ghana Special Competition matchday one wrap: Happy start for Kotoko and Hearts

Giants Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak got their Ghana Football Association Normalisation Committee Special Competition off to a flying start with wins over Aduana Stars and Dreams FC respectively on Sunday.

The games were two of six matchday one matches that took place in the newly-introduced novelty league.

The ties marked the resumption of football activities in the west African nation since the suspension of the Premier League in June last year after an investigative documentary by renowned undercover journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas left the Ghana FA and its leadership in a turbulent bribery and corruption scandal.
