Draught Top 8 in Tema Monday

They have labelled it the Top 8 of draught, and it may well prove an apt description.

On Monday, Edward ‘Kick Away' Afrifa and Nii Ayi will lead a field of top draught stars in a one-day tournament expected to showcase the one of the finest moments of the game at Community 9 in Tema.

Under the sponsorship of Ofosu Appiah Brothers, the tournament will also feature Evans ‘Ortega' Koranteng, Nii Arday, Nii Adjetey and Ekow Simple in a rich assembly of the game's finest on the local scene.

Two other players with good reputation in the game will join the aforementioned for what could feature a repeat of the Kick Away versus Nii Ayi epic clash.

It will be a rare moment when all of such big players will participate in just a single tournament. In many previous events, some have always found some excuse not to participate, but with old scores to settle, the Community 9 Draught Club presents a fine occasion, with the venue expected to be packed on Monday.

Ortega, for instance, is the reigning top player from Tema, and seemed to be on a steep rise following victories over Nii Ayi and others until Kick Away stopped him in his strides with comprehensive thrashing in successive games.
