Obuasi Cricket Academy Sets A Historic Breast Cancer Awareness Day
In a remarkable event that blended sportsmanship with a heartfelt cause, the Obuasi Cricket Academy made history by hosting its first-ever Breast Cancer Awareness Day. Held at the Obuasi Cricket Oval on the KNUST Obuasi Campus, this initiative went beyond cricket, championing community solidarity and health awareness. The academy’s efforts captivated the entire Obuasi Municipality, with an impressive turnout of 650 male and female participants who gathered to support the cause, leaving a lasting impression on attendees and spectators alike.
The event began with an energizing health walk, where people from all walks of life joined to support breast cancer awareness. This walk, which aimed to promote physical fitness while symbolizing solidarity with those affected by the disease, was filled with optimism. The sight of hundreds marching for a common cause ignited a sense of unity and hope, making it a powerful opening act for the day’s activities.
Following the walk, attendees were invited to take advantage of free health screenings provided by professional medical practitioners from the Obuasi Government Hospital. The screenings, focusing on breast cancer detection and general health checks, were exceptionally well-received. The involvement of the medical team was deeply appreciated, as they provided crucial services that emphasized the day’s message of health awareness and prevention.
The highlight of the day was the T20 Women’s Bilateral Cricket Match between the Underground Mining Alliance (UMA) Stars and the DIDI Strikers. With the atmosphere charged with excitement, the DIDI Strikers delivered a commanding performance, winning the match by 61 runs. Having won the toss, they chose to field first, and their bowlers dominated the game.
Suglo Patricia set the tone with a stellar bowling performance, claiming 3 wickets for just 10 runs in 3 overs. Emmanuella Abdulai, a rising star from Ghana’s U19 national team, also dazzled, securing 3 wickets in her 3 overs while giving away only 16 runs. Ellen Asante added to the pressure with 1 wicket in 1.1 overs, conceding just 5 runs. Contributions from Richlove and Louisa sealed the UMA Stars’ fate, each taking 1 wicket.
Despite a strong fight from UMA Stars’ captain Kate Awuah, who scored an impressive 17 runs from 29 balls and remained not out, UMA fell short. Kate’s efforts earned her the titles of Best Batter and Player of the Match for her determined performance. Her all-around contributions continued in the second innings, where she took 2 wickets in 3 overs, giving up just 14 runs.
In the end, the DIDI Strikers bowled out the UMA Stars for 60 runs in just 11 overs and comfortably chased down the target, further cementing their dominance. Although the UMA Stars put up a valiant effort, particularly through Emma Abdulai, who was named Best Bowler for her phenomenal 2 wickets and maiden over, the DIDI Strikers proved unstoppable.
As the day drew to a close, the organizers of the Obuasi Cricket Academy expressed deep gratitude for the overwhelming support they received. “We graciously thank the Almighty God for guiding us and making this program a success. Indeed, His favour has been with us from day one,” remarked a representative.
They also extended their thanks to the event’s key sponsors, Underground Mining Alliance and DIDI Foods, whose contributions were pivotal in making the event possible. “May God continue to bless them abundantly for their generosity,” the organizers added.
A special mention was given to Lawrence Ahadzi, the GCA Development Officer, and Andrew Browne from Jamaica, who both served as umpires for the match. Beyond their roles as officials, the duo generously provided water and soft drinks to ensure that everyone stayed hydrated throughout the day. Their dedication and support did not go unnoticed and were highly appreciated by the academy and participants alike.
Gratitude was also extended to additional sponsors, including Syed Aqeel Isar, the Mine Union Workers, and Toni B Drinking Water. Their involvement helped ensure that the event ran smoothly and that participants were well taken care of. The academy expressed its deep appreciation for their invaluable support and looked forward to continued partnerships in the future.
In the closing remarks, the organizers thanked all the players, officials, and participants who made the event a success. “We appreciate everyone who came from near and far to support this initiative. May God guide and protect you on your journeys back home,” they concluded.
The Obuasi Cricket Academy Breast Cancer Awareness Day not only underscored the academy’s commitment to cricket but also showcased its dedication to social causes. This historic event has set a new standard for community engagement in the Obuasi region, and it will be remembered as a milestone in the academy’s growing influence. With more impactful events on the horizon, the academy is well on its way to uplifting both cricket and social awareness in Ghana.
