The Southern team comprising Charles Techie Menson, Victor Amartey, Stanley Ubiedi, C. M. Placca and Eugene Adjetey defeated their counterparts from the north to win the 2021 National Scrabble Championship Trophy.

They took home 1,000 Ghana Cedis plus cash on each game won and the cup.

Team skipper Charles Techie Menson, a former student of Adisadel College who is now a Risk Advisor said they really prepared and won their games in style. He expressed that it will take some months of hard training before the Northners can catch up to their level. He hoped to repeat the dose in the return encounter.

According to Charles Techie Menson, Scrabble is an interesting game and it must be promoted in the schools.

He said a good player must learn to play with words, strategise, concentrate and have luck to win.

But the Northern team made up of Alhaji Seidu, Fatau Bayeneng, Aminu Issah, Shelby Suleiman and Tony Smith said they will come back stronger to revenge.

The championship which was organized by the Scrabble Association of Ghana (SCAG) with support from Union System Global was held at the Accra Sports Stadium last Saturday.
