Panthers, Tema Youth and Yotive have officially been demoted to the country’s second-tier league after the Greater Accra Basketball Association released the final table on Wednesday.
The three teams will play in the D2 league next season after a disappointing campaign in the recently concluded series in the men’s division.
Tema Youth got relegated following their late arrival for their final match against Hoops last weekend.
Yotive’s dreadful performances in the series will now see them regroup in D2 after they managed a single win from 13 matches – their worst ever in the top flight. They must now fight back to gain promotion to the elite division next year.
Panthers won six games and lost six but series of walkovers in the championship means they will have their faith in the lower division.
This is the final table released by the GABL on Wednesday in the men’s division.
