KASS Wins Ashanti Regional Inter-Schools Football Competition

Kumasi Anglican Senior High School has been crowned champions of the 2023/24 Ashanti Region Inter-School and College Soccer (Boys) Competition on Thursday, 18 January 2024.

‘The Disciples’ needed a second-half fulminating header from Form 1 student Peter Baah Jnr, a twin, to lift the trophy at the Baba Yara Stadium with a 1-0 win.

 

 

 

 

 

“Older twin” Peter Baah Snr was named Goalkeeper of the Tournament and his portfolio of saves included a finger-tip effort on a ferocious free-kick taken inside the penalty arc.

KASS has now won, arguably, the most competitive regional inter-school soccer competition in the country for a fifth time- tied with Adu Gyamfi Senior High School and three behind the most successful school Osei Kyeretwie Senior High School (OKESS).

The Amakom-based school previously won the competition in 1994, 1999, 2006 and 2016.

Abdul Rasheed Issah, a Form 3 General Arts student, from Sakafia Islamic School, was named Defender of the Tournament.

The Goalking Award went to Joseph Narbi, a Form 2 Visual Arts student, also from Sakafia.

Emmanuel Attakorah, nicknamed Messi, of Kumasi Anglican Senior High School was named Best Player of the six-day event.
