Casford banging 101 The famous rivalry on UCC campus has been between The Casley Hayford Hall and The Atlantic Hall. Bragging rights between this two halls have been full of irritation and agitation. For the time being the bragging rights appear to belong to the Casfordians as they chased the ATL hallers from the Cape Coast stadium after the blackstars qualification match against South Africa last night.  The Casfordians managed to silence their rivals by not only chasing them but ceasing their bell and hall flag as a sign of victory over them. Hopefully this doesn't degenerate into untoward horror. How ATL hallers got chased.

It was great joy and fun to see how the Great Casely Hayford Hall welcomed the Ghana Blackstars prior to their qualification match against South Africa on Thursday.The singing and chanting from the warriors of Casford could not have been expressed in any way as players were encouraged by the way and manner that were welcomed. The hall authorities assured the Blackstars that all members of the hall will be present in their numbers on the day of the match.                            Tap to visit and watch all videos.

Radio personality and Fashion designer Kofi Okyere Darko, popularly known as KOD,  believes ‘DJ of the Year’ award will mount pressure on 12-year-old DJ Switch. DJ Switch was crowned the overall best DJ of the Year at the recently held Ghana DJ Awards at the Accra International Conference Centre (AICC).

Although DJ Switch has graced many international platforms, she deserved  “something like the Black Star award or Future award but not “pushing her too much by giving her ‘DJ of the Year’”.
