Samartex throw in the towel on League title chase
Business Development manager of FC Samartex, Paul Anyaba has admitted his outfit cannot defend the Ghana Premier League title.

Speaking in an interview, the young football administrator affirmed his outfit cannot secure the Premier League title this season, considering the dynamics in the game.
“I’m a realist, sometimes you need to look at all the factors and admit to reality. Looking at the position of Kotoko, Goldstars, Hearts of Oak and all the dynamics, I think that we have to play and get a respectable position and rather focus on next season” he said.
Samartex will travel to face the embattled Legon Cities in matchday 27 of the Ghana Premier League campaign on Sunday.
