Asops Academy proved unplayable for the other competing schools in the boys competition as they played the competition without conceding a goal. They eventually won the ultimate by defeating Pentecost Preparatory School in the final by 2 goals to nil.
Christian School Complex on the other hand also won the girls competition by narrowly defeating Where He Leads Preparatory School in the final.
Francis Otoo who doubled as the captain of Asops Academy won the goal king and the player of the tournament with Justice Oppong of Pentecost School also winning the goalkeeper of the tournament in the boys competition.
Sylvia Enyine of Great Nabek International School was also crowned the best player in the girls competition whiles Beatrice of Where He Leads Preparatory School also won the goal queen of the tournament.
The euphoria around this year's tournament indicates that this year's edition will be nothing short of exciting and educative.
With schools being assured of free transportation and maximum security as the tournament is set to take place at the 2BN Military Barracks, Apremdo.
