Black Queens coach gives reason for dropping Perpetual Agyekum

Black Queens coach Marcy Tagoe-Quarcoo has explained why she snubbed Perpetual Agyekum, top scorer from the just ended Special National Women's Competition, in her recent call-up.

Agyekum, captain of Hasaacas Ladies, scored nine goals in the competition for the champions, but had no place in the provisional 30-man squad announced last week for the WAFU Zone B Nations Cup.

Tagoe-Quarcoo clarified why she did not invite the centre-back for the trip to Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire for the tournament.
