The Ashanti region champions defeated their opponents 3-2 in a keenly contested final at the Paa Joe park, inside the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST).
A double from striker Samuel Obeng and another from winger Narbi Joseph were enough to seal the result for Amoawi Methodist, while Bernard Hazard and Mark Aboagye got the consolation goals for St. Joseph International.
The final started with Amoawi Methodist dominating proceedings and they rightly took the lead inside the first 10 minutes, through Samuel Obeng.
A few minutes later, Obeng netted his second goal of the day to put his side 2-0 up before the half time break.
St. Joseph International returned for the second half in much better form, and reduced the score line to 2-1 following a marvelous goal from Benard Hazard.

St. Joseph pulled one back through Mark Aboagye to make it 3-2, but it was a little too late as Amoawi Methodist won the encounter.
