The 4 Garrison Officers Mess Squash Club in Kumasi commemorated this year’s World Squash Day with a comprehensive win over their counterparts from the AGA club from Obuasi.
The one day event saw the host club win 6 matches against 3 for their opponents.
The first two matches of the morning went either way paving the way for an uncompromising competition.
But with the crowd behind them as host, players of the 4 Garrison team turned the heat on their opponents with some great display of skills and stamina to win the next three matches.
The likes of Captain Francis Coffie, Eric Mensah and K.O Prempeh were in their elements winning the various matches with ease.
Captain of the club, Francis Coffie indicated later in an interview the club is on a mission to introduce the youth of the Ashanti Region to the game of squash.
“With a pre-fabricated squash court, we intend to carry the game to our various senior high schools to give the young ones the opportunity to appreciate and embrace the game. Unfortunately it is only Achimota School that has a squash court and that has to change for the better.”
Francis Coffie however encouraged the public to take the game seriously since it reduces the risk of cardio diseases, especially among people with sedentary life styles.
