Defending champions, University of Cape Coast (UCC) started their GUSA Games title defence with a streak of wins across the various sporting disciplines.

However, debutants Ghana Institute of Journalism (GIJ), struggled to make any significant impression on the first day of events.

GIJ were humiliated by powerhouses, UCC in the men’s basketball game, losing 80-17. The football team’s hopes of making a name for themselves ended in tears after losing 5-3 on penalties following a goalless 90 minutes of action.

Hosting school, the University of Ghana also started well in the 26th edition of the Ghana University Sports Association Games, earning victories in the female table tennis and female volleyball events.
