We have very little time to do that so we decided to give the young players a chance to ensure that they benefit from this experience and stake a claim for first team positions when the regulars are not in form, injured or suspended” Sokpari tokd Class FM.
“As you saw in the two games, the young lads gave a very good account of themselves and showed the world that they are good enough to get some minutes ahead of the new season," he added.
Wa All Stars faced the tournament with entirety new players as the senior side prepares for the 2016/17 Ghana Premier League, the CAF Champions League and the FA Cup competitions.
