Joseph Laweh

Stephen Anoky Badu

He was the heart of the Aduana Stars defence and he did all the dangerous clearances from the vital area of the hosts, especially playing without his regular centre pair Wahab Adams. Anokye Badu was made very bust at the back, yet he stood the test of time to help the Dormaa boys win 2-1 against Liberty Professionals.
