Dansoman gaga for Tigo Community

Soccer, Zamrama Line wins

Tears flowed and hearts were broken, but

overall joy reigned when phase two of the Tigo Community Soccer challenge

rolled into action in Dansoman over the weekend.

The premier inter-community soccer contest

drew the very best of players from Mataheko, Mallam, Zamarama Line, Dansoman

Control, Dansoman Exhibition and Agege among other areas.

The Datus School Complex field came alive

when the players, neatly decked in their Tigo kits, sought to showcase the talked-about

football prowess Dansoman area.

Studded with former national team players

and professionals, Agege, tipped by many as the favourites, were pipped by Zamarama

Line in the dying minutes of the finals to win the title.

Agege played champagne football throughout

the tournament but for their goalkeeper’s failure to deal completely with a

last minute shot, looked like the top contenders for the title.

The underdog Zamarama Line side bided their

time, withstood countless Agege onslaughts and stung them late in the second

half.

They won for themselves the prestigious

title of Tigo Community Soccer champions for Dansoman, a trophy, gold medals,

souvenirs and cash reward of GH¢500. Agege’s sorrows were soothed with a cash

reward of GH¢300, silver medals and Tigo souvenirs.

SSNIT came in third after beating Mallam on

penalties and received GH¢200 cedis for the effort.

From the winning team, George Oscar was adjudged the best player of the

competition and was awarded with a smartphone.

The Tigo Community Soccer is the

telecommunication giant’s attempt to rekindle inter-community football

rivalries whiles rewarding them for their loyalty. Therefore, fans were not

left out of the celebration. They were given Tigo souvenirs and stood the

chance to win more in the Azonto dance challenge and women’s penalty shootout.

Dansoman was the second stop in the 16

community-long nationwide competition. The tour got off to a splendid start

last week in Bukom where Mamprobi won the first trophy.

Next, the train stops in Madina and will

involve 16 teams from Bawalashie to Adenta.
