Real 24 Hours emerged champions of the inaugural Betway Tumu Community Cup after edging Bujan Crocodiles 1-0 in a closely contested final on Saturday, May 24, 2025, at the Tumu Sports Stadium AstroTurf.
The decisive goal came just minutes into the first half, and the Tumu-based Division Two side held firm under pressure to claim the historic title.
Famous for having played against Asante Kotoko in Tumu, Real 24 Hours not only lifted the trophy but also walked away with GHS5,000 in prize money and medals.
Bujan Crocodiles, as runners-up, received GHS3,000 and medals for their efforts.
En route to the final, Real 24 Hours won two matches via penalty shootouts, including a tense encounter against pre-tournament favourites Soccer Babies. The latter secured third place after a 5-4 shootout win over Kong Danger Stars following a goalless draw.
Soccer Babies earned GHS2,000 and were the only team to win a match in regulation time, having defeated Nabulo 2-0 in the opening fixture. The remaining six games were all decided by penalties.
The competition was graced by the Sissala East Member of Parliament, Mohammed Issah Bataglia, alongside the Municipal Chief Executive, Adamu Yakubu.
The one-day tournament, which followed six qualifying matches, was a collaborative initiative led by Joy Sports editor Fentuo Tahiru Fentuo in partnership with leading bookmakers Betway, and supported by Peeva Beverages.
