The Executive council of ERFA, acting on a ruling from the Appeals committee of GFA on September 30 has ordered the replay of the clash between Okwahu and Kwaebibirem united at Oda Stadium on Sunday, October 3.

This comes after the decision to award the points to Kwaebibirem United FC was quashed by the Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association.

Okwahu United were declared losers by the judicial body in the Eastern region but that has been overturned by the higher appellate body.

"That the Division Two Middle League match between Kwaebibirem United FC and Okwahu United shall be declared null and void," part of a ruling from the Disciplinary Committee read

"That the match shall be replayed on a date and at a venue to be determined by the ERFA with adequate security presence.

"That though the Appeals Committee has ruled that the match should be replayed, anyone who misconducted themselves at the said match shall be charged by the ERFA prosecutor.

However, the latest decision is that, the match should be replayed. According to ERFA, the match is expected to kick off at 9am behind closed doors to spectators. Both teams will be allowed to present a 35member contingent each.

Fans rushed onto the pitch after referee Emmanuel Kofi Agudavi awarded a controversial penalty to Kwaebibirem- which sparked anger and chaos in Dawu.
