CLASSY TEMA CHELSEA EMERGE CHAMPIONS.
Week two of the novelty education and recreation Project McDan Communities Champions League produced some outstanding individual and team performances in Community 4, Tema.
Ultimately, skillful and enterprising Tema Chelsea FC kept a clean sheet as they
defeated Tema Arsenal Babies 2-0 at the TDC Park.
Spectators, officials and media including a crew from BBC World Service Africa had barely settled when Chelsea took the lead with the opening strike after just one minute.
The calmly converted goal came from the boot of captain Emmanuel Asare.
The echoes of cheers that greeted the first goal was still lingering when Chelsea struck again a few minutes later with a superb second.
At 2-0 down after only five minutes, Arsenal Babies responded by going all out to try and grab a goal.
Indeed they took control of the game then onwards but failed to convert any of the numerous chances that came their way.
13 year old Chelsea captain Emmanuel Asare FC was adjudged Man of the Match for the second time in the competition and was also voted MVP of the tournament.
David Asare of Arsenal Babies came second with Great Palmer FC’s Ebenezer Fameyeh (son of former Accra Hearts of Oak striker Joe Fameyeh) in third place.
Other teams that participated in the tournament were: Saint Joseph United, Future Heros, Super Abease Stars, Fhotizo Fc, Great Palmers and Great Ambassadors.
The beautifully organised event was watched by some renowned personalities from various background including Kevin Titi Ofei (Temple Christian College), former Hearts of Oak assistant coach, Edward Nii Odoom, Mrs Rita Agyen Takyi (Ceo Active Minds Reading Club), the
Chairman of Ashaiman Juvenile Football Association Rafael Tommy and Pfag representative William Katey,
Chairman of Tema Metropolitan Football Association, Daasebre Adu Asare.
