Police Ladies stun Ampem Darkoa Ladies to clinch maiden Women’s Premier League title

Police Ladies made history on Sunday, May 18, by claiming their first-ever Malta Guinness Women’s Premier League title with a 2-0 victory over defending champions Ampem Darkoa Ladies at the University of Ghana Stadium.

In a highly anticipated final, Jane Ayieyam broke the deadlock in the 27th minute, calmly finishing off a well-worked move to give Police Ladies a deserved lead.

Ampem Darkoa, who were chasing a third successive league crown, pushed for an equaliser but were repeatedly thwarted by a disciplined Police defence and the safe hands of goalkeeper Cynthia Konlan.

As the game neared full time, substitute Victoria Teye Williams struck in the 89th minute to double the advantage and seal a famous victory for Police Ladies, ending Ampem Darkoa’s dominance and crowning a new champion in Ghanaian women’s football.

The triumph marks a significant milestone for Police Ladies, who have grown steadily over the years and now stand at the summit of the domestic women’s game.

They will be Ghana’s representative in this year’s CAF Women’s Champions League.
