After two match days, Breman Essiam Socrates from the Central Region are leading the pack, determined to pick up from where they left off in last year's competition.

Last season, they almost earned a slot after four attempts, only edged out after a protest cost them the chance.

They beat Western Region's Hassport Ladies 2-0 in their opening game and followed it up with a 3-1 win against Volta Region's Anlo Ladies on Monday, before the game ended abruptly because Anlo Ladies didn't have enough players to continue after a number of their players pulled out due to injuries.

Ridge City, the Greater Accra champions also claimed their first win, beating Hassport 4-0 in their second game.

Lower Manya Krobo-based Rootz Sistaz, representing Eastern Region, came from behind to win 2-1 against Blessed Ladies, the runners-up from Greater Accra.
