The C.C. Blay Foundation, through its Chief Executive Officer, Dr Clement Clinton Blay, has demonstrated its unwavering commitment to grassroots football development with the donation of a set of branded jerseys to support the maiden edition of the Ride On Group Inter-Community League.
The gesture formed part of the Foundation’s broader commitment to promoting community participation, nurturing grassroots sporting talents and leveraging football as a vehicle for youth empowerment and social cohesion.
The maiden competition, which brought together five communities, Sanzule, Ewe Town, Krisan, Old Bakanta and New Bakanta, officially climaxed on Sunday with an exciting series of encounters that determined the eventual winners.
Krisan FC were crowned champions of the maiden competition after Old Bakanta forfeited their final fixture, while Ewe Community held Sanzule All Stars to a pulsating draw in another decisive encounter.
Krisan FC subsequently emerged as the overall winners, finishing ahead of Sanzule All Stars on points difference to claim the inaugural title.
The coronation festivities were further highlighted by an engaging exhibition match between Krisan FC and the Ride On Group Selected Side, with Krisan FC recording a 2-1 victory to bring the curtain down on the football fiesta.
Dr Clement Clinton Blay’s intervention through the C.C. Blay Foundation provided valuable support for the tournament, reinforcing the Foundation’s dedication to initiatives that create meaningful opportunities for young people and strengthen community-based sporting activities.
The jersey donation also reflects Dr Blay’s continued appreciation of grassroots football as an important platform for talent discovery, youth engagement and the promotion of unity among communities.
The Ride On Group Inter-Community League brought together football enthusiasts and participating communities, offering young talents an opportunity to exhibit their abilities while fostering camaraderie and healthy competition.
Through this support, the C.C. Blay Foundation has once again highlighted the importance of philanthropic involvement in grassroots sports, particularly in communities where such interventions can make a tangible difference.
The maiden edition has laid a solid foundation for what organisers hope will become a sustainable platform for football development, community integration and the discovery of emerging talents.
