Posted by Cheetah FC will face off with Kenpong Academy in the final of the Central Region Division One middle league.
Cheetah secured a place in the final after winning a protest against their semifinal opposition Betenase. The Kasoa-based side initially lost the semifinal clash 1-0 and that’s was largely due to poor and incompetent officiating.
Shamefully, we lost our semifinal game yesterday by a goal to nil, (1-0) more than 5 yellow cards and a red card to our head coach we couldn’t understand

In respect to the offense and per to Article 33 (2) of the GFA regulations, Betenase were declared losers and accordingly Cheetah was awarded a 3-0 win.
Kenpong Academy on the other hand secured a place in the final after beating GAP Academy 2-0 in the semifinal on Monday.
