Matta Devi big winner over Sonrise Christian School
Matta Devi School recorded the biggest score yet at the Round of 32 stage of Junior Sharks Season 8. All the way from Kumasi, Matta Devi came to Adesa We, Accra, and delivered a performance that could well be described as ‘5-star’. Aside from being a flawless show, it was also an emphatic statement made by Matta Devi to all others that they are in for business. Right from the blast of the bell to begin Round 1 of this last contest of the Round of 32, Matta Devi was already raring to go.
Clearly, Matta Devi didn’t have the luxury to wait for Sonrise to rise and cause them any problems.
Matta Devi worked brilliantly to round up all available points as best as they could, eventually making this contest a one-sided affair.
But it is also comforting to know that at no point in the contest did Sonrise throw their hands up in despair.
Rather, they worked tirelessly and even when defeat was inevitable, they did the best they could to keep fans glued.
Given the exceptional academic credentials of Sonrise Christian, however, the conclusion fans came to is that this was just a bad day in the office.
