With fresh limbs in the second half, a long pass from the right back found the foot of Emmanuel Annan whose shot got into the roof of the net, in the 50th minute.
From there, the juniors kept pushing for an equalizer and possibly the winner, but their efforts could only get into the safest hands of the goalkeeper. The Seniors didn’t only sit back but also created their own chances, as Obed Tawiah tried a long shot over the goalkeeper but was grabbed in the 75th minute.
Annan, who is Boiler manager and captain of the Seniors team left up front for defense to ensure they seal another slim victory over the juniors.
