Easter Fest games this weekend in the Ghana Premier League as Asante Kotoko host FC Samartex Monday
It should be a fabulous Easter Monday in Kumasi
Asante Kotoko returned to winning ways on Sunday after a comprehensive 3-0 win over Nations FC at the Baba Yara Stadium, Kumasi.
Goals by Albert Amoah, Samba O'niel and Morifing Donzo, handed the three points to the Porcupines in this Ghana Premier League (GPL) Matchday 26 fixture.
