Vodafone Ghana, one of the world's leading telecommunications brands, defeated Tullow 4-2 on penalties after a 1-1 drawn game to reign supreme in the annual invitational tournament at the St Thomas Aquinas Park, Labone, Accra.

Vodafone coach Stephen Essien said in a post-match interview, 'At Vodafone, we are encouraged and empowered to do our best in everything. It doesn't have to be about work or business.

'We were excited to be part of the tournament as we knew this would be a good platform to network and work together outside a corporate environment.  It was an honour playing with Tullow because they are a great team, but we at Vodafone were a force to contend with. We came here with a purpose and I am happy to say we achieved it. We look forward to retaining the title next year,' he stated.

He described the victory as significant and revengeful for Vodafone taking into account Tullow's victory over them in the Vodafone Business Solution's Football challenge in February.

In its third consecutive year, the Tullow Invitational Tournament is a full day gala which hosts a number of corporate teams at the St Thomas of Aquinas Football Park. In addition to the organizers, GNPC, Dizengoff, Ecobank and Vodafone Ghana were the five participants that contested in the Football gala.
