The team’s Coach, Solomon Yola, said that they would finish on the podium.
He said, “The boys are here (Ghana) for serious business, they want to pick a medal at the end of the competition. They will fight whoever they are meeting in the semi-final; if possible we will feature in the final game and win it. My players have all it takes to win the final match and that is our target.’’
The 13th African Games which started on March 8 is expected to end on March 23.
