Legon hosts tertiary Basketball tourney

Four tertiary institutions will battle it out on Saturday for the 2014 Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges (UPAC) Championship at the main basketball court of the University of Ghana, Legon.

The competition tips-off at 3.00pm with four schools; Accra Polytechnic, University of Ghana (UG), University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) and Central University College (CUC) slugging it out in a knock-out format.

The UG team who boast the likes of Nana Bissue Yankah (Kronic), Francis Ackah and former Mfantsipim star Max Mod will lock horns with a talented CUC side who have former Ghana Secondary Technical School captain, Sydney Larbi, Fayad Muslim, Airon Dinku and Derrick Amfo in their ranks.

In the other fixture, favourites for the UPAC Championship, Accra Polytechnic, will be hoping to avoid a potential banana skin when they face a young and promising UPSA team.

Accra Poly have the skilful Baniba Dodzie and talented point guard, Nicholas Amuzu, while UPSA coach Emmanuel Essel Wobil (Ghanaa) will look up to his star player, Delvin Bayonne to power them to success.
