Qualifying games to the Sprite Ball Championship in Greater Accra Region have been called off due to consistent rain that prevented ties from being honored.

The games were scheduled to end today to decide which teams make it to Ghana’s National High School Competition next year.

Next year’s tournament takes place from January 4-6, 2018 at the El Wak Stadium in Accra with 26 schools in the boys and girls division set to compete.

However, today’s games at University of Professional Studies (UPSA) and Presbyterian Boys Senior High School (PRESEC-Legon) had to be postponed due to the unfavorable weather.

Rains lashed several parts of Ghana’s capital affecting residents in the city including ties to select representatives for the region in 2018.

At the time games were halted, St. Thomas Aquinas Senior High beat Host PRESEC-Legon 32-30 while Sacred Heart blew out Armed Forces Senior High courtesy a 42-13 win.

The weather turned bad as rainfall intensified forcing officials to call for a break and set to return once the rains ceased.

Unfortunately, they didn’t cease after an hour and the games were called off.
