The Central regional sweethearts, who were kicked out at the one-eighth stage last year after suffering a defeat to Mawuli SHS, returned to the contest in 2023 better and stronger than before.
At their first prelims stage in eight years, they beat their competitors, three-time champions St Peter’s, with 52 points.
Replicating that dedication for the one-eighth, Wesley Girls beat their Central Regional counterparts Archbishop Porter Girls and Ghanata SHS.
Wesley Girls dominated the contest throughout the various stages.
