FC Epiphany have been crowned champions of the Greater Accra Regional Football Association (GARFA) women’s Division One after beating Jonina Ladies FC by a solitary goal at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.
The game which was dubbed as the “Champions of Champions”, saw the winners of both GARFA women’s Division One zones, Epiphany Warriors FC(Group A winners) and Jonina Ladies FC (Group B winners), battle it out for the ultimate GARFA women’s Division One champion.
In an electrically charged atmosphere filled women’s football enthusiasts, the game didn’t fail to live up to the hype, with both teams throwing everything at each other in a what was an extremely tensed and nerve-racking match.
Epiphany Warriors FC were the most dominant of the two sides in the opening half, but failed to convert any of the clear cut chances created, Jonina Ladies also squandering a couple with the half ending scoreless.
Epiphany will go ahead to grab the first and the game’s only goal when team captain, GIFTY Acheampong calmly controlled a chipped pass with her chest before sprinting about 15 meters to slot it past the onrushing Jonina Ladies goalkeeper.
The win gave the Warriors their second trophy of the season after winning the women’s Division One ‘Group A’ title after finishing top of the group with 17 wins and a single draw.
Both teams have automatically gained qualification to play in the GFA Women’s Division One Middle League which kickstarts in the next 2 weeks and will take place in the Eastern Region of Ghana.
