Is Hearts of Oak back to glory days?

At last, Hearts of Oak has something to cheer about for their fans after the just ended 2012/2013
Glo premiership some days ago.

Accra Hearts of Oak brought back the smiles that fans have longed for several years when the team secured a 2-0 win over Medeama in the grand finale of the 2013 presidential tournament last Monday at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Once upon the time continental master in 2001 and proud winners of the maiden edition of CAF confederation 2004, Hearts ere the grand finale edged out TP Mazembe by 4-3 on penalties after a pulsating 1-1 drawn game over 90 minutes plus.

Arguably, Hearts resilience right from the second round of the Glo premiership has been one of the factors that propelled the team from the relegation net to a respectable fifth place on the league standing in the just ended season not forgetting head coach David Duncan.

Coach David Duncan has done very well for guiding the team to climb the league log from the bottom as they played sizzling and scintillating football artistry which has eluded the fans for so long.

Again the presence of a certain Mahatma (Radamal Falcao) Otoo who doubles as the captain, really gave a good account of himself to earn the premiership player and top scorer for the season.

No wonder, he enjoyed a kingly ride at the back of Coach David Duncan after he netted the second goal against Medeama at the Accra Sports last Monday.

Already some football pundits have predicted fireworks for the teams next season should hearts maintained such an incredible posture under the watchful eyes of Coach David Duncan.

Is Hearts of Oak back to their glory days?
