Services JHS lose Super Ranked status to Dahin Sheli
Services Primary and JHS, Burma Camp, Accra, have become the first Super Ranked school to exit the Junior Sharks 7. They suffered a painful defeat to Dahin Sheli, Norrip, Tamale, who continued their slow but steady progress in the Junior Sharks 7. Dahin Sheli, by way of a quick memory recall had accounted for Garrison JHS and Ketasco Basic to book a Super Ranked position.
With the previous two contests in juxtaposition, it is quite clear that the Tamale-based school know how to wring a win.
Services have also had a creditable track record in Junior Sharks, but they will look back and admit that they could have been a lot more purposeful in this contest.

R Cubed Round
The two schools were at level pegging during the Reading and Writing segment.

Services had a negative score of five (-5) arising from their weightier bag of incorrect answers.

Services’ attempt at matching Dahin Shelin in a tit-for-tat battle was a futile exercise.
Buzzes flew in from left and right of the quizmaster, but it was Dahin Sheli who once again proved that they knew what they were about.
At the end of the round, Dahin Sheli were getting closer to the finish line with a score of twenty-five (25) while Services were dragged back again with a negative score of ten (-10).
