Keta Senior High,TI Ahmadiya and Mawuli School received the two year ban slap after they were found guilty of fielding a player ineligible to play that tournament.

The girls from TI Ahmadiya were the first team to be found out after a nerve racking game against Accra Wesley Girls.

Accra Wesley Girls lost to TI Ahmadiya by 17-15 in a grueling encounter which saw the game go to double over time.

Accra Wesley Girls then filed a protest who had apparently played in a tournament for a Tertiary Institution.

Keta Senior High beat the 4 time winners Mfantsipim by 16-13 in the final group game and the latter also filed in a protest.

These two cases were then forwarded to the Ghana Education Service (GES) and both cases went in favor of the schools that protested.

In the wake of this was when Mawuli School’s disqualification was announced by a representative from the GES that they had also been disqualified.

Mawuli were playing their final group game against Champions Opoku Ware when that announcement was made.
