Draught fans in and around the Accra-Tema areas would be thrilled on Boxing Day, December 26 with the 2024 edition of the National Open Draught Championship expected to attract the finest players across the country.
The annual event is used to commemorate the yearly celebration of Farmers Day, held every first Friday in December.
However, this year’s celebration was brought forward to November due to Ghana’s presidential and parliamentary elections just around the celebration.
A member of the organisational team, Samuel Aboagye (Adansi), confirmed the new date of December 26 and Tema Community 5 venue for the championship to the Times Sports yesterday.
It will kick off at exactly 8am.
Join us for the milestone 10th edition of the National Individual Open Draught Championship, held annually on Farmers Day!
This year’s edition would be the 10th and coincide with the 10th anniversary of the formation of GADA and subsequently the National Draught Association.
As a result, exciting and mouthwatering prizes have been announced by the organisers as the winner is expected to pocket a cash prize of GH¢5,000 and the runner-up taking a cash prize of GH¢3,000. Occupants of the third and fourth places would take home GH¢2,000 and GH¢1,000, respectively.
Registration fee is GH¢10 with participants promised breakfast and lunch and cash reward of GH¢50 to top 16 players that qualify for the stage.
Other members of the organisational team are Frank Aboagye (Adansi Jr), Ishmael Koomson and Ernest Acquaye.
