The State Boys MA School in Kumasi has emerged overall winners of the Zone II Under-13 MILO Inter-Regional Basic Schools competition held at the Opoku Ware School Park.
Eight schools from the Brong Ahafo and Ashanti regions qualified to take part in the competition which was sponsored by Nestle Ghana Limited to help identify football talents.
State Boys topped their group after winning all group matches to face All for Christ Preparatory School from Berekum in an exciting final which saw the Kumasi-based school winning 3-1 on penalties after a scoreless match.
For their prize State Boys took home GHC500.00 while the runners up, All for Christ Preparatory, were rewarded with GHC 300.00.
Both schools qualify to play in the final competition to be held in Koforidua in June this year.
The two schools also stand the chance of participating in an African competition to be held in Nigeria later this year.
