FULL VERDICT: AshantiGold demoted to Division Two for match-fixing
AshantiGold have resorted to the law courts to fight a match manipulation ruling which demoted the club to Division Two football and banned a number of the club’s officials and players.
This became necessary after the club lost its demotion appeal in July.
