The team, after securing qualification, expressed confidence in their ability to compete against some of the country’s strongest schools at the 2026 NSMQ Championship.
The win brought the Central Regional Qualifiers to a dramatic close, with Enyan Denkyira SHTS emerging as the surprise qualifiers after a determined fightback in the final contest.
