Soccer Mountaineers, Okwawu United, breathed life into the Division One League (DOL) campaign following a 1-0 victory over Accra Great Olympics in their DOL Zone III clash in the Access Bank DOL.

It was a huge result for the 'Asaase aban' boys whose quest for a return to the elite stage has faced several challenges.

They have been in the soccer wilderness for over a decade after suffering relegation from the top flight.

Faced with another challenge of battling it out with another former Premier League side, Great Olympics, for the single slot to the GPL, Okwawu United started the season well but have succumbed to a few threats posed by some of the finest sides in the zone.
