Assist KingPin: Garry Philip emerges Best Playmaker in UWRFA Div II League

An integral part of Wa Power SC’s last 2 seasons with His superb conversion rate and dribbling skills, the Forward has also turned a provider in difficult situations with His individual brilliance to set up teammates.

In 17 matches and 11 starts in the 2022/2023 season, Philip can boast of 12 goals contributions to His name in the League.

With 7 Assists He stands tall in creativity in the League through the supply of defense splitting passes to break out opponents in better scoring opportunities.

Garry Philip houses all features of a modern day Attacker with very good hold up play and and ability to shoot very well and score with His weaker left foot.

His 5 goals came in the group phase with crucial strikes against Biyad 77 Stars, Sombo Freedom Stars and KTFC in the first round. Then a brace against Discipline Youth in the second round.

In the MTN FA Cup, Philip’s lone goal sealed a 1-0 visit for Wa Power SC against Unity FC in the Preliminaries as they made it to Round 32 before being eliminated.

After 2 substitute appearances in the Middle League and missing the third game due to injury, Garry Philip returned with 2 vital Assists in the last 2 matches to ensure His side end the whole campaign without a defeat, winning a staggering 16 matches and recorded 3 draws.

His unselfish nature gives Him the drive to feed teammates in vantage scoring positions while on a run, as He did for Issahaku Wahidu in the 4-0 thrashing of Kowie Eva Stars.

Another impressive display in the final game of the season saw Philip come close to opening the score sheet but went inches wide, He then located Adamu Abdul Karimu to place in a low effort that gave Wa Power SC a 1-0 lead in a game that they eventually beat Golden FC 2-1 to book qualification to Division One League 2023/2024.

Philip’s ability to play play out wide and cut in is an asset that gives Him a differential through the use of His pace, agility, awareness, and ability to outwit opponents one on one.

His vast experience and consistency will be heavily counted on when the Football ecosystem regroups for another packed series of action come next season, barring any injury concerns.
