ACCRA - Ghana's Berekum Chelsea did what
their English namesakes failed to do when they clinched the Glo Premier League title on Wednesday.
A late penalty from Emmanuel Clottey, the league's leading
scorer, handed Berekum Chelsea a 1-0 win over Real Tamale United
and an unassailable lead over Asante Kotoko at the top of the
standings with three games left.
It was a first title for the club from the provincial town
of Berekum which was formed just 11 years ago by two ardent
Chelsea supporters and they will play in next year's African
Champions League.
The English Chelsea were beaten to this season's Premier
League title by Manchester United.
