DOL: A5 Rences, Elmina Sharks pick wins

 Struggling A5 Rences ended their first round of the 2022/23 Zone 3 Division One League (DOL), with a 2-1 victory over debutants Volta Rangers at the Tema Sports Stadium on Saturday.

The Tema-based outfit have now recorded their second win of the campaign, having won just a single game, lost five and drew eight in 15 games.

Rences earlier shared spoils with former Premier League candidates, Tema Youth, last weekend in a pulsating 0-0 draw and needed a win to keep their status in shape.

It was a spirited performance from Rences, who came back from a goal down to score two goals in both halves.
