Accra, May 31, GNA – Seth Hoffman, Head Coach of Berekum Chelsea is confident of maintaining their Ghana Premier League (GPL) status despite their poor run.

Speaking at a post-match conference, the experienced coach said they would have to work hard to improve their standing in the league especially with seven matches to end the season.
“Injuries and yellow card accumulations have disrupted our performance on the field but most of the key players are gradually coming back and I believe with the full complement of my team, we can survive the season,’’ he said.
When asked about what accounted for their 2-0 loss against Hearts, Hoffman had this to say: “Hearts utilized their chances and got two goals in the first half. We came in strong in the second half but we couldn’t utilize our chances and I have to congratulate my boys for their performance.”
