Emmanuel Owusu Boakye of Kwadaso scored 7 goals to win the top scorer award of the 2023 MTN Ashantifest Community Soccer competition following the conclusion of the now 3rd annual event.
With his team, Kwadaso pocketing a cool five thousand Ghana Cedis (Gh¢5,000) for finishing third, young Boakye who plays for Karela FC in the Ghana Premier League added the golden shoe to his own party, beating Atonsu’s Stephen Antwi who netted 6 goals despite his side’s early elimination into the runner-up spot.
The best player of 2023 gong went to Stephen Owusu Banahene of beaten finalists, Santasi whose individual brilliance nearly powered his side to the trophy but for the cruelty of the dreaded penalty shootout which saw them fall at the last hurdle to Ejisu.
