The maiden Beach Soccer League in Ghana, officially known as the CAL Bank Premier Beach Soccer League, kicked off at the La Beach Soccer Arena in Accra, with some spectacular goals, individual brilliance and stunning results much to the delight of officials from Cal Bank, Voltic, La Beach management, sports ministry and the GBSA organizers including newly elected President and his executives.
The first week of action in the premier league saw a total of 30 goals with Sunset Sports Club from Keta recording the highest conversions in their 8-3 thriller against Accra based Layoca.
In the opening league game between Wuo Gbee of La and Ada Assurance, seven goals were produced including the first ever hat-trick scored by Richard Osa as he helped his side Wuo Gbee come back from a goal down to beat Ada Assurance 4 - 3.
Attoh Kwabena opened the scoring for Assurance but his celebrations were short lived as Osa equalized with the first of his hat-trick goals.
In a thrilling end to end encounter, Totimeh Tetteh and Nathaniel Abaya got the other goals for Assurance while Samuel Adjei grabbed the winning for Wuo Gbee.
The second match of the day between Tegbi Youth from Keta and East Legon Sharks was a very close encounter after Daniels Nyador’s neat opener for the Voltarians.
However the match was finally settled with a lucky goal from Enoch Sowah that took a bounce in the sand before crashing into the net to hand a 2-1 victory to East Legon Sharks. Ceaser Zehe had earlier cancelled the opening goal by Tegbi youth.
In arguably the most fierce and entertaining match of the day, the pride of Dansoman and hot favourites DC Beach Soccer Club, winners of the Unity Cup match in the Central region were out muscled and out classed by the highly disciplined Mighty Warriors from Havedzi in the Volta region.
Few could have predicted the final score line of of 4-1 as there was very little to choose between the two sides in the first half including a missed penalty by Dansoman.
In the second half, drama unfolded as Sampson Kudado grabbed a quick brace while Aziz Kofi and Delicious Kwawu added two goals to make it 4-1 for the Keta side who drew the biggest crowd and cheers at the arena. Ransford Lamptey got the only goal for the DC boys.
