Keta based side Havedzi Mighty Warriors defeated Kogi Confluence from Nigeria by two goals in a exhilarating encounter at the Aborigines beach soccer arena to win the 2nd edition of the Keta Cup.

This year’s tournament featured the likes of Kogi Confluence (Nigeria),  Team Bricks (Togo) as well as first  edition champions Owibeseb Beach Soccer Club(Nigeria).

Speaking to the media after the tournament, MVP of the tournament and Havedzi winger, Alfred Torsu , says this victory will propel his team to glory in the league against local rivals Sunset Sports.

"It’s going to psyche us psychologically because we were able to beat them over here and last season we met them we beat them so we know their weaknesses and probably if we meet them we can overcome them once again".

Also addressing the media, Nigeria Beach  Soccer National Team and Kogi Confluence
coach Audu Ejo  Adamu says the fact that Ghana has an active Beach Soccer league made it easy for them.

"Really the game is good because Ghana play a league and Nigeria doesn't. My team Kogi Confluence is situated in the North of Nigeria and we don't have a beach, we have to travel seven hours to Badagry to come train and that was three days before this competition which isn't enough"

He however says he had his reservations about officiating during the tournament and suggests tournament organisers  update officials on the latest Fifa rules

"There are some new rules and maybe the new rules Fifa hasn't sent to them, maybe Fifa has sent it but the referee couldn't collect it from the GFA but they are many old rules and regulations where a goal keeper catches the ball, takes it into the net and play that's a foul."

The ongoing Ghana Beach Soccer League comprising 16 top clubs resumes on Saturday at the Laboma Beach Soccer Arena in Accra.
