“Maiden Teqball Tournament was a success” – Kwadwo Baah Agyemang

By Emmanuel Asante Attakora, GNA       

Accra, Nov. 18, GNA – Mr. Kwadwo Baah
Agyemang, former Member of Parliament (MP), for Asante Akyem North and Board
Chairman for National Sports Authority (NSA), has described the just ended
TeqballTournament as a success, saying the sport has come to stay.

Mr. Baah Agyemang, who is the brain behind
the tournament that took place in Agogo in the Asante Akyem Constituency, said
though the sport was new to Ghana and the people of Asante Akyem, the euphoria
that the tournament generated was overwhelming and it’s was a clear indication
of how well the sport had come to stay.

“This was a way of getting the people
together in a different way by introducing a different sport or game all
together and it achieved that purpose.

“The young and old came out in their numbers
to partake in the sport, which needed all parts of the body to play aside the
hands”.

According to him, it was always important in
making sure that there was an avenue for him to interact with his constituents
and how best he could help and sports was a great way of doing so.

“I know there are so many issues
confronting my Constituency and it is important I created the platform to meet
them and interact in ways to help ourselves.

“Sports present that big platform,
because you have both the young and old turning up for it and we have that
interaction after every sporting activity.

“I have been organising the Asante
Akyem Marathon for some time now, we have had soccer tournaments too and the
Teqball Tournament has also happened and like you know, we mostly have weekend
jogging and aerobics as well as, which is not going to end any time soon,” he
added.

The Teqball Tournament which brought
together over five hundred participants including the young and old in both
sexes is a game played as a single or double game.
