Assistant coach of the Black Starlets, Nana Kweku Agyemang, says the team’s recent clean sheets show the impact of hard work on the training ground.
The Starlets secured a narrow win over Division One League leaders Port City, with captain Joseph Narbi scoring the decisive early goal.
They followed it up with a 2-0 victory against Koforidua Semper Fi at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Semper Fi result came after another 1-0 triumph over Port City earlier the same day.
Reflecting on the performances, Agyemang said the technical team wanted to assess the players’ reactions against strong lower-tier opposition.
“We want to know how they react when they are playing against these sides. The fact that they didn’t concede, that’s good. But I mean, last week we played against Na God and another team. I think we conceded in both games.
“Although we still won, but we conceded in both games. So, the fact that this time around they didn’t concede, it tells a lot about the work that we are doing at the moment. I think that the boys did well”
He noted that earlier matches saw the team concede despite winning.
The recent defensive solidity, he believes, is a positive sign ahead of the 2026 U-17 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
The technical team continues to focus on improving fitness and tactical discipline as the tournament approaches.
