Teqball teenagers, Sylvester Oko Nortey and Daniel Fobi, completed a straight sets win over their more experienced Eswatini (Swaziland) counterparts at the African Beach Games in Tunisia.
Even as the lowest ranked team in the Teqball competition, Ghana managed a combined total of five wins on their way to a historic bronze.
Even though the mixed doubles pair of Martha Appiah and Daniel Fobi lost 2-1 to Algeria at the quarter finals stage, the mood in camp remained upbeat.
Oko Nortey lost the Men’s Singles semi final to Victor Oyemade of Nigeria and the bronze match to Yassine Sahli of Tunisa but bounced back later in the day to clinch a bronze with team mate Fobi.
The pair only trained together for a week in Accra before departure to the biggest ever African Beach Games comprising 53 countries.
