Black Starlets goalkeeper, Ibrahim Danlad\u00a0targeted the golden gloves award before the start of the Under-17 African Championships in Gabon.<\/p>\n
The Black Starlets who were making their return to the competition after a two-year ban finished second after falling to Mali in the final.<\/p>\n
The Starlets were the joint best attacking team with 9 goals in 5 games and finished with the best defensive record conceding just one goal all tournament, a penalty in the final.<\/p>\n
Danlad, who kept 4 clean sheets in a row leading up to the final, has disclosed that winning the competition’s best goalkeeper was his personal objective going into the tournament.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m okay with my performance. I wrote in my diary before the tournament that I must win the golden gloves of the competition and I conceded only one goal which was not from an open play,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI achieved that because of the quality defenders in the team. We understood each other very well since we have played together for some time.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are going to start preparations to achieve something great for Ghana in India.\u201d<\/p>\n
Danlad is expected to be part of the Starlets team who will represent Ghana at the FIFA under 17 World Cup in later in October.<\/p>\n
