All is set for the Milo Under-13 Champions League Final to be staged at the Paa Joe Park in Kumasi, after four schools picked a slot to represent their Regions in the Zone four division.
After a tough two-day competitive, it was Nkawkaw Methodist from the Eastern Region, Akweiman D/A from the Greater Accra, Wusuta D/A from the Volta Region and Krasec L/A Primary from the newly created Oti Region who qualified to the finals billed for 2-6 July in Kumasi.
The qualified schools from Zone Four would join 12 other representatives from Zone1-3 to determine the winner of the 2019 Milo U-13 Champions League where Redeem D/A Primary is the reigning champions.
The winner of Zone Four had to be determined and after the 16 participating schools were taken through checks and a soccer clinic, Nkawkaw Methodist was paired against Krasec L/A while Akweiman D/A were scheduled to face Wusuta L/A Primary from the Volta Region.
The match traveled into penalty shoot-outs to determine the winner in the first semis between Nkawkaw Methodist Primary and Krasec L/A. Both sides put up a splendid performance and in the end, Nkawkaw Methodist won 5-4 on penalties after the game ended 0-0 in regulation time.
In the other fixtures, Akweiman D/A and Wusuta L/A took the centre stage for the second semi-final game, the Greater Accra side were too strong for their Voltarians on the day.
Akweiman D/A braved all odds to thrash Wusuta 3-0 to play in the Zonal finals against the Eastern Regional Champions, Nkawkaw Methodist.
On a rainy day at the Bishop Herman Boys College, the pitch became too soggy for the finals and the organisers decided Kpando Technical hosted the finals.
