Esther Takyi of Christ FC Ladies wins female footballer of the season at the just ended Shama District Football Association Awards.
Many ladies are denied the chance of playing the beautiful game by their parents. In this regard, many harbour the idea that a lady must end up in the kitchen no matter what.
But sincerely, I’m of a different opinion. Great female players have emerged from the beautiful game and are breadwinners for their families. Marta from Brazil, Dzenifer Maroszan from Germany, Lucy Bronze from England are wealthy and rich through football.
Nigeria’s pride Asisat Oshoala is now a UEFA champions league winner with Barcelona. Ghana’s Black Queens have seen Adwowa Bayor, Memunatu Sulemana et al.
Shama District is blessed with talent and Esther Takyi of Christ Ladies FC had a super season of which I know wouldn’t be the end of her journey. Ace broadcaster Professor George Kuntu Blankson has been singing her praises months ago and she has duly shown the entire district her stuff.
