"I must confess that not even the gold mines of Obuasi has been able to fetch us this publicity within this short period of time. Every radio or television station in Ghana is now talking about Obuasi because AshGold have won the league. It is something that we are proud of", he added.

The Miners achieved this feat by defeating WAFA 1-0 at the Len Clay Stadium through a 72nd minute penalty converted by Emmanuel Osei.
