Speaking to the Junior Graphic, Zone Three’s skipper Lillian Golli said her team’s triumph was as a result of hard work.
"We are very excited to win this title because it is very important for us and our zone," the final-year Ghanatta Senior High School Business student said.
"We are all coming from different schools and backgrounds but we realised that we had to fight for a common goal and this contributed to our success,” she added.
Zone Three comprised students from the Amasaman SHS, St John’s Grammar SHS, Achimota School, Armed Forces SHS and West Africa Senior High School (WASS).
