Whereas most of the Black Starlets players are substituted
during the trial matches in order for the coaches to evaluate
other candidates for certain positions, Stephen Okei gets the full 90 minutes
of play time.
Okei played 90 minutes in the game against Power FC in Ho yesterday. The game was scheduled to be played on
Tuesday but it had to be postponed for a day because of problems with the pitch.
The Starlets were beaten 4-3. Ekow scored two goals and Abeiku added a third.
But Okei was the center of attention again in defense. He says the Man of the Match award he earned previously
has boosted his morale and only the best could come from him now.
Losing 4-3 (especially scoring 3 goals) against a team that finished in the premiership top 8 last season is a great
achievement for the still burgeoning Starlets.
