The Volta River Authority (VRA) has emerged winners of the 2025 University of Ghana Corporate Tennis Championship after delivering an impressive performance that combined skill, teamwork and consistency at the University of Ghana Tennis Court.
The annual competition brought together corporate institutions including GOIL PLC, Stanbic Bank Ghana, and the Ghana Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) to compete in a “two-doubles, one-singles” format.
VRA began their campaign with a dominant showing against GCAA. The doubles pair of Nana Kum Sam-Awortwi and Samuel Yaw Akotuah defeated GCAA’s Pobi Afoakwa and Akwasi Agyei 9–4 in their opening match. The second doubles team of Sam-Awortwi and Daniel Kwame Dzogbetsah continued the winning form, overpowering GCAA’s Maxlon Abuabasa and Akwasi Agyei by the same 9–4 scoreline.
Although VRA’s Adom Manasseh Dickson lost the singles tie to GCAA’s Pobi Afoakwa 2–6, his fighting spirit kept spectators engaged throughout the contest. The loss, however, did not affect VRA’s advancement to the final, having already secured victory through the doubles matches.
In the grand finale, VRA faced GOIL in a tightly contested showdown. The pair of Samuel Yaw Akotuah and Nana Kum Sam-Awortwi once again set the tone for VRA’s dominance, defeating GOIL’s Robert Lartey and Enoch Amponsah 9–4 in the opening doubles match. In the second doubles, GOIL’s Alex Abbey and Leo-George Borluvie put up a spirited fight but eventually fell 9–5 to VRA’s superior play.
With two straight victories in the doubles sets, officials declared VRA champions without the need for a deciding singles match. The result sealed VRA’s reputation as one of the most formidable teams in the corporate tennis circuit.
The championship was organised by the University of Ghana Sports and Wellness Directorate in partnership with RITE Sports Services, with sponsorship support from GOIL PLC, Verna Water, Penfield School, and the Ghana Tennis Federation. The tournament forms part of the university’s efforts to promote corporate wellness, networking, and sporting excellence through competitive tennis.
