The playing body of Kumasi Asante Kotoko has been promised a double winning bonus by the board of Directors of the club, following a crisis meeting after their 0-1 defeat to Hearts of Oak on match day 6 of the First Capital Plus Premier League. Kotoko will face one of their boggy sides in recent times, Ashgold at the Obuasi Len Clay Sports Stadium on Wednesday and to inspire the team ahead of the all Ashanti derby, the wining bonus of the players has been doubled. Also, during this meeting Mas-ud Didi Dramani attributed the recent poor form of the club to series of injuries that have hit the defenders of Kotoko, making them ineffective in games. He stated that Abeiku Ainooson is half fit, while Smallboy Korbah and Ohene Brenya are sidelined due to injuries. The team has also decided to resort to camping before and after matches to ensure that the team concentrates on football matters, rather than issues like alcoholism and womanizing that have got to their end. The league champions have won two games, lost two and drawn 2, after match day 6 of the first Capital Plus Premier League and will face Ashgold at Obuasi on Wednesday in another tricky encounter. Kotoko�s last three outings to Obuasi in the Ghana Premier League have ended in 2 defeats and a draw against Ashgold and the worst of it was the home and away defeats handed to them by the Miners in the GHALCA Top-4 during the pre-season.
