Hearts of Oak captain Thomas Abbey predicts crunch G6 final against Aduana Stars
Hearts of Oak General captain Thomas Abbey says
Aduana Stars will come tougher on Sunday in the
final of the GHALCA 6 tournament.

The match will be played at the Baba Yara Stadium
where they defeated rivals Asante Kotoko 6-5 on
penalties in the semi-final.

They had already drawn 1-1 with Medeama in the
Group stage.

"We have prepared very well and done a lot of high
intensity work at training during the week so we
are in good shape for the finals," Abbey told

"We beat Kotoko in the last game on penalties to
get to the finals but I think Aduana Stars will be
tougher than Kotoko. They are the in-form team in
the competition and they have a 100% record so
it's not going to be easy playing or beating
them.

"But I believe we can beat them on Sunday. We were
closely matched in the first game but we could not
take our chances when they came and they took
theirs to win the match so we have to be ready and
take any chance that comes our way.

"Luckily for us, we are playing the finals at the
Baba Yara Sports Stadium and we have not lost a
game there as well; we drew with Medeama and beat
Kotoko there.

"You know, playing in Kumasi suits us and we are
more comfortable there because of the fans. They
always support us and we know they will be behind
us no matter what so we are counting on the fans
to help us this time around to beat Aduana."
