Bolgatanga: Horrific start to life for Team Upper West at the on-going inter – regional sports festival

Team Upper West endured a horrific start to life at the on-going inter- regional sports festival in the Upper East Regional capital, Bolgatanga

The team started the Senior High School competition with three events across board on the opening day of the competition in soccer, hockey, and volleyball but had a day to forget after losing all three events at a go against their respective opponents

In boys soccer, the boys started brightly in the game and were reward for their resilience with the opening goal of the encounter through Bostie Juawie known as Anelka in the 36th minute of the match as they went to the break with a one goal lead

The second half became more thrilling as Volta region chased the equalizer and Upper West also hoping for a cushioner. Volta region got rewarded for their resilience in the second half as they scored late into the end of the match to earn a hard fought draw against Upper West

Volta region won the match on a 3-0 penalties after Upper West missed all three penalties

Another event on the day was a hockey girls match between Upoer West region and Brong Ahafo region. It was another bad day in office for Team Upper West Hockey female team as they lost 2-1 against their opponents to record their second consecutive defeat in two events on the day

The final event and final humiliation of the day for Team Upper West came in volleyball boys game as they lost two straight in a game against Eastern region

Certainly not the best of start to the championship from Team Upper West as there is more room for improvement
