New Start & Draw Dates And Strict Caution to All 32 Schools Ahead of Inter-school Boys Soccer
Inter Schools Boys Soccer Competition which was scheduled to take place on Monday 4th July will now take place on Wednesday 6th July, 2022.
This follows a decision by the Schools and Colleges Sports Federation of the Ashanti Region resulting from the inability of the Disciplinary Committee to finish all the fourteen cases before it last Friday.
Eight cases were adjudicated last Friday remaining 6 more casea expected to be sorted out on Monday.
The Draw or Pairings for the round of 32 will done right after the cases are sorted. This is expected to be done possibly on Tuesday a day before the actual games scheduled for Baba Yara Stadium if all goes well.
The use of the Baba Yara facility has become topical and controversial following some unrealistic demands by the National Sports Authority. The NSA demands are making it difficult for the GES to conclude on the use of the facility. It is expected that by Wednesday, there will be a compromise for the use of the facility.
Meanwhile the federation has sent a strong warning to all 32 competing schools.
In a strongly worded message to all competing schools, the leadership of the federation cautioned all 32 Schools on Strict compliance on Photo Album and COVID-19 Vaccination. Below is the full text.
“Pls let’s remind ourselves on these especially the 32 schools which have qualified for the finals of the boys’ soccer finals
The following instructions should be adhered to strictly.
- Photo album of 25 players ONLY duly endorsed by the Head of the school
- Group photograph of the 25 players, the Head of the school and the HOD PE duly endorsed by the Head of the school. The names of the players as lined up in the picture should appear
- The team sheet of the 25 players with all the requirements on the status of the player and duly endorsed by the Head of the school
- COVID 19 vaccinated cards of ALL the 25 players. Note,,, without even one (1) of the cards present, the school will NOT BE ALLOWED to play.
Please schools are to be careful of the selection of officials for their bench as any misconduct or any untoward behaviour on the bench would be counted against the PE personnel.
Let me congratulate all schools which have so far qualified and those who are yet to do so and wish them the best. Let us showcase Ashanti region sports as the best brand of inter school sports in Ghana as has been the case over the years.
I ll come your way again if I left out something or there is a new development
