The tenth edition of the Sprite Ball Championship has started with full excitement from today December 28 at the El Wak Stadium in Accra.

Defending champion St. Augustine’s College opened the boy’s division in Group A with a 23-18 win over Presbyterian Boys Senior High School (PRESEC-Osu). Girls defending champions, Aggrey Memorial also beat West Africa SHS21-13.

Mawuli Senior High School and debutants Kumasi Anglican Senior High School are some of the schools in the group of the defending champions, St. Augustine's College, Cape Coast.

However, Group C’s group of death makeup sets up the competition for a wonderful display of talent and rivalry. Four time winners Mfantsipim School has been drawn against 2014 Champions Keta Senior High School, Prempeh College and Sacred Heart Senior High School. The latter is making its debut in the competition.

Awudome and T.I. Ahmadiyya Senior High Schools are some of the female schools who would be missed in the female division, but any of the eight competing teams can spring a surprise.

Reigning champions Aggrey Memorial Mount Zion School had it fairly easy against West Africa Senior High School, Methodist Girls Senior High School (Manfe) and Three Town Senior High School are also in their group.

Group B is the division’s death group as it houses Accra Wesley Girls Senior High, Wesley Girls Senior High School from Cape-Coast, Ahantaman and Kumasi Girls Senior High Schools respectively.
