Defending Ghana beach soccer league  champions Mighty Warriors  took a mighty thump as they were defeated 3 - 2 by in form local side Wuo Gbee.

In a fierce context that produced 5 goals, a red card and several cautions, the home team from Accra eventually carried the day and the three points at stake.

The result means the Warriors from Havedzi have  lost consecutive games for the first time since the commencement of the beach soccer league in 2011.

It also enhances the Championship tittle aspirations of the La based Wuo Gbee.

In a superstitious twist to the match, Mighty Warriors hit the wood work of their opponents on five different occasions much to the delight of the supporting La youth.

In another spectacular game, double champions Keta Sunset needed a last minute equaliser from captain Michael Sema to deny Accra based Sea Lions a famous victory. The game was easily the match of the season so far with action swinging from one end to the other.

It ended with the two national team strikers grabbing a brace each. Sea Lions captain Alexander Adjei and his opposite number Michael Sema were outstanding for their teams.

Week 5 also produced the first wins for Winneba Giants and local side Layoca. The Giants condemned Nima to their fifth  consecutive defeat as they triumphed 3 - 1. Layoca on the other hand emerged 6 - 2 victors over Tema United.
