Coach Laryea Kingson named a spirited lineup of energetic boys to play their opponents for today’s game.

The game started with frantic pace and energy with both teams cancelling out each other in the early embers of the game. 

It wasn’t until Mark Kagawa Mensah got on the end of a silky pass from a teammate in the 19th minute to slot one past the goalkeeper in post for the Benin side. 

Three minutes later, a team effort that involved twenty-seven sequential passes saw Theophilus Ayamga double the Starlet’s lead in the 22nd minute.
