The Kumasi based Opoku Ware School who have won the coveted trophy twice in the past were hopeful of making it to the finals this time around only for Sonrise SHS to cut them short, 3 points shy.

At the end of the contest, Opoku Ware School managed 46 points, Berekum SHS 15 and the winner Sonrise SHS 49 points to proceed to the next stage of the competition.
