Day 8Games 1 & 2 CEPS vs Magic / Police vs Fire(Group A)The day saw two games whose outcome could decide the faith of any of the four teams in this group. Police had the best chance though. They needed a CEPS win over Magic and also a wider margin(of at least 30) win of their own game against Fire. Panthers had a chance only if CEPS won by at least 20points and Fire are able to hold Police within

Day 7Game 1 Tema Youth vs Reformers(Group A) Both teams came into this game having the same record(2-1) and in need of a W to make it to the semi final stage. Reformers suffered the loss this time after winning this match up in the regular season. It was more evident today how much they miss the services of their veteran point guard, Agbesi, who couldn't play this tourney due to an injury in the

Day 5 (afternoon)Game 1 Hoops vs Tema Youth(Group A)This was supposed to be an epic encounter between two of the most dynamic young teams of Accra especially due to the fact that they couldn't meet in the regular season because TY showed up late and forfeited the match. The story was different this time, as Hoops also had some problems starting the match as their unis were not in as at tip off.

Fire started off well with a 7-0 run in the first 4 minutes. Panthers quickly made a couple of subs which saw Patrick come in. he seemed like a super sub after dropping 4 points including a dunk on
