Basake Holy Stars midfielder Joseph Hudson wants fans to keep believing as the side visits Accra Hearts of Oak on Friday in the Ghana Premier League.
Basake Holy Stars midfielder Joseph Hudson has sent a message to the club's supporters: keep believing. The team heads into a demanding Ghana Premier League trip to Accra Hearts of Oak on Friday, and Hudson says the players will give everything to reward the backing they receive.
The game is set for the University of Ghana Sports Stadium, with kickoff at 5:00 pm. Holy Stars arrive with momentum after a 1-0 win over Bechem United in matchweek seven, a result sealed by Bismark Teye's 56th-minute goal.
"What I will tell the supporters is that the faith they have in us always, they should keep on having faith in us. We will not disgrace them," Hudson said on Basake Holy Stars TV. "When it is matchday, the way they come to support us, we will go for the win so that they come always."
The visitors sit fifth in the table with 12 points from seven matches, a solid start that makes Friday's fixture an important measure of their ambitions. Hearts of Oak are never an easy opponent, particularly in Accra.
History offers some encouragement and a warning. Last season Holy Stars held Hearts to a 0-0 draw away from home, but they lost the return fixture on their own turf. Hudson and his teammates will be hoping to land a better result this time.
