Accra, June 24, GNA - Ghana's national Baseball and Softball

team will participate in the first ever Economic Community of West

Africa States (ECOWAS) Little League competition in

Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso. The competition fixed for June 27-30, this year will involve six

nations drawn from the sub-region. The competition, which was originally fixed for June 11-14th had

to be rescheduled due to financial difficulties as well as the need to

afford participants much time to prepare for the event. Rev. Albert Seth Ocran, Chairman of GHABSA who disclosed

this at a press conference in Accra on Tuesday said, Team Ghana

has for the past weeks been engaged in serious preparations for the

event and expressed the hope that the nation will excel at the

competition. He said even though the Association has not been able to secure

funds for residential camping, the on-going preparations of the team

will be enough for them to win laurels for Ghana. Rev. Ocran said the team will need the support of the corporate

bodies to participate in the event and therefore appealed to

companies and organisations to support the Team Ghana to ensure

their success.
