The capital of the Golden Kingdom of Asante
went agog last Saturday, as youth groups took the city by storm with the
fourth edition of Nhyira FM’s Keep-fit and Fun Clubs’ Games.
The
annual jumbo social and sporting event brings together youth and other
social clubs on one platform to engage in healthy competition to keep
fit, amid drumming and dancing.
And as expected, the traditional
venue, the Ridge Park at Danyame, recorded one of the biggest crowds at a
single event in recent times.
Over 90 social and fun clubs
across the region and beyond competed in 5-a-side football, 50
meter-dash, volleyball, weight-lifting, table tennis, among others,
laced in cheer singing, popularly known as ‘jama’.
Participants
joined a clean-up by the Kumasi Metropolitan Assembly; as they embarked
on fitness walk to usher in the Fan Club Games.
The aerobic session went with the new and trendy sensational “Azonto” dance, especially among female.
Excitement
reached roof-top in the evening when the country’s two most popular
Hip-life icons, Castro and Slim Buster mounted the stage.
‘Odo
Keep Fit Fan Club’ of Abrepo in Kumasi was crowned overall champions for
2011 Club for the Year, with ‘Apostles Club’ of Anloga, also in Kumasi,
as first runners-up.
Winners and participating clubs went home
with attractive prizes from sponsors and certificates of participation
from Nhyira FM. Visit our photo galleries for photos from the event.
