“With these current players, I can assure, they will continue to bring honour to the country and make the nation proud.”
He applauded Obeng Shang for winning a silver medal in the Men’s Singles and the rest of the team for their impressive performance in the All Africa U15 Championship.
Coach Adu said, “People least expected we will get to this level. In the past, when we mention Badminton, Ghana was not mentioned but these days, the story is opposite.
“When we first arrived, people were wary about us and indeed we proved it. No player went below the quarter finals and that is impressive.”
Team Ghana in all bagged three medals in both the Mixed Team and the Individual Event in the All Africa U15 Championship.
The Africa U19 Mixed Team event would commence on Friday, August 27 and end on Tuesday, September 1 in Ouidah, Benin.
