[*] play in Cape Coast (formerly played in Tema)

NB: there was the usual confusion on awarded matches and possible
    additional points deductions, partially due to conflicting
    decisions by the Professional League and the Ghana FA; the
    table above has the following eight matches counted as awarded:
      rd  1 Goldfields  1-0 Arsenal,       awarded 0-3
      rd  3 BA United   1-0 Arsenal,       awarded 0-3  (revoked?)
      rd  4 Mines Stars 1-0 Okwahu,        awarded 0-3
      rd  6 Tano        1-1 Stay Cool,     awarded 3-0
      rd  7 Goldfields  4-0 RTU,           awarded 0-3
      rd 12 Goldfields  3-1 Olympics,      awarded 0-3
      rd 19 Olympics    1-1 Goldfields,    awarded 3-0
      rd 21 Mines Stars 1-1 Hearts of Oak, awarded 0-3
    additionally, a 3-point deduction against the losing team in every
    decision was included.  After a writ filed by a supporter of 
    Goldfields, the Cape Coast High Court placed an injunction on
    the (publication of the) final league table.

    In any case, Prestea Mines Stars and Stay Cool were eventually
    relegated.  It is not clear which team (if any) played off against
    the third placed team from the 2nd division (presumably either
    Goldfields or Brong Ahofu United), but the top level representatives
    must have won.
