It was fun and ecstasy at the premises of Happy FM as Ashanti Regional draughts champion, Abu National, scaled difficult hurdles to emerge the eventual winner of the 2016 Damehene Open Championship.

The 20-year old diminutive player, Abu National braved the storm to defeat the almost insuperable George Afrifa, popularly known as Kickway in an enthralling final to cap the second edition of the the Happy FM Damehene Open Championship.

Hundreds of draught patrons thronged the premises of Happy FM Monday morning for the quarter-finals, Semi-finals and then the grand final.

Earlier on Saturday, the competition kicked off at the Nungua Junction Mall where the preliminary rounds took place.
