WA All Stars have vehemently squashed allegations they played a fixed match against New Edubiase United in week 5 fixture played in WA. 

The allegation was made by New Edubiase striker Prince Antwi claiming they threw the match for the Northern Blues in a which the leaders won by a lone goal at home.

Antwi alleged on Asante Bekwai-based radio station Dess FM that there was an arrangement between the two clubs in a home-team-take-all-deal.

He felt betrayed after Wa All Stars came to Bekwi to win 1-0 on Sunday.  

But Wa All Stars have distanced themselves and wants the Ethics Committee of the FA to delve into the matter.

A club statement read: "We want to state it clearly here that WA AllStars does not indulge in match fixing and dismisses this allegation as unfounded and without merit.

"I don't want to mention the top form of Wa All Stars right from the start of the league to engaging in an illegality with a struggling team like new Edubiase who have been fighting relegation for three seasons now and whose best results ever in wa has been a goalless draw game.

"For the avoidance of doubt, there was no any prior arrangement or promise of favour before, during or after the game with any official of New Edubiase. We play all our matches competitively and under FIFA code of fair play.

"We are therefore by this release also calling on the ethics committee of the FA to invite the said player Prince Antwi to come and prove his allegation or given the necessary disciplinary measures.

"We are assuring the FA of Management full cooperation in this matter to unearth the truth or other wise of the allegation."

Wa All Stars lead the Ghana Premier League with a one-point lead after 26 matches.
