Opoku Ware School has been eliminated at the semifinal stage of the 2022 National Science and Maths Quiz (NSMQ).
The host school put up a strong performance from the beginning of the contest up until the penultimate round.
They prepared a tactical substitution at this point to bring it home — however, it backfired and the substitute missed multiple questions to botch their lead.
End of Round 3:

Adisadel College who were toeing them capitalized on the slip-up and overtook them, keeping the gas on until the contest was over.
St Augustine’s College, Cape Coast allies of Adisadel could not replicate their performance from the quarterfinals and ended the Sunday evening semifinal clash with the lowest score.
