Prempeh College will have a chance to defend the National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ) trophy in the grand finale after their victory in the first semifinal contest.
The Kumasi-based giants defeated Cape Coast’s Mfantsipim School in a close contest on Sunday.
They now stand a chance of equalling two records set by Presec Legon; that is winning the trophy back-to-back and winning it for the sixth time.

But they would not have it easy, with Presec Legon themselves gunning for a spot in the final in a later contest.
Mfantsipim’s run comes to an end. Their hopes of a third title are dashed, in favour of the reigning champions.

For now, Prempeh College rejoice.
