Beach Soccer League kicks off: Wuo Gbee hammer Winneba Giants
Sixteen beach soccer teams across the country last Saturday began a journey of supremacy in the national beach soccer league.
Beach soccer is generally considered as the fastest growing sport in the West African sub region.
Local side, Wuo Gbee, delivered a supreme attacking display to thrash Winneba Giants 7-0. Reigning champions Mighty Warriors opened their title defence with a one- sided 5-0 win over African Angels.

Last season's runners up Sunset Sports from Keta also made lightwork of Teshie United in a fast game that ended 3-0 in favour of the Keta. lads
Another team that has been tipped to challenge for honours this season is Sea Lions. With a new management under former Joy fm Super Morning Show, producer James Afedo. Lions eventually defeated Tema United 2-1. Surprisingly, the Afcon 2015 Beach Soccer Goal King, Alexander Adjei, failed to get his name on the score sheet with a rather slow start to the season.
Ada Assurance made an impressive entry back into elite bracket with a well fought 4-2 win over last season's Division One champions, Nungua BSC.
Gulf Powers and Dansoman BSC also kicked off their season with 1-0 and 3-2 victories over Tegbi Youth and Layoca respectively.
The 2015 league season has arguably been very competitive since CAL Bank came on board as the major sponsors in 2011.
