Explosive end to end action followed in extra time, with both teams missing the net by the narrowest of margins. The prospect of penalty kicks beckoned when Right to Dream’s dogged resilience matched with moments of individual brilliance eventually paid off with a winning goal - just minutes away from the final whistle. Right to Dream held on through the inevitable fight back from Enppi and the match ended 2:1, with Right to Dream worthy winners of the title and, more importantly, a place in the World Finals of the Manchester United Premier Cup in August.
 
Coach Gareth Henderby: “The standard of football throughout the qualification process has been higher than last year, both in Ghana and also here in Holland. Every team played well, each match was tough and tested our boy’s talent and determination. We are delighted of course to win a place in Manchester again and will be trying our best to do even better than our 5th place finish last year.
 
“Preparation will start as soon as we get home. We won’t change much from last year - we played well but just had one or two things go wrong. One lesson we did learn from the other teams in Manchester is to take our Head Scout with us, so he can evaluate the other teams and prepare our tactics.
 
“Hopefully we will get the chance to play against Manchester United again – the same result would be very nice! In any case it would be great if we could be drawn into a group with teams from Europe – that would be a great experience for the team.
 
“Some of our boys are leaving at the end of the summer, having won scholarships to study in the USA. We’re very proud they have the opportunity to change their lives and eventually come back to Ghana able to give something back to their community. But first we want to travel to Manchester and do as well as we can.”
