Last-minute replacements Ebusua Dwarfs play AshantiGold in Sunday's lunchtime opening Group B match of the inaugural GHALCA Glo G8 Cup at the Essipong Stadium.

Both sides won their respective home encounters in last season's Premier League campaign- AshGold won 1-0 in Obuasi and Dwarfs nicked a 2-1 win.

Dwarfs were handed a invitation into the pre-season tournament after Nania FC pulled out at the eleventh hour citing fatigue and ill-preparedness.

However, the Cape-Coast based side are in top form after playing Vipers and Medeama SC in the Kofi Annan tournament.

AshGold are favourites for the points after finishing second in last season's Ghana Premier League.

The match will kick off at 13:30 GMT and will be telecast live on the state-owned Ghana Television.

Meanwhile Liberty Professionals will be looking to put up a credible challenge against Medeama fresh from losing their inspirational President Alhaji Sly Tetteh who died last Saturday.

That second Group match will be played at 15:30 GMT at the same venue.
