McDan
Foundation, a subsidiary of the McDan Group, has presented a cheque
for $3,000 to Golden Rackets, the national tennis side, at its East
Legon head office.
The
financial reward was in recognition of the team’s qualification for
Europe-Africa Zone III from Zone IV in Congo Brazzaville recently.
Ghana
Tennis Federation president Isaac Aboagye Duah told the media, “We are
here to pay homage to Dr. Daniel McKorley for believing in us and supporting us
all these years. This is the results of his investment.
” We
declined, we have been absent from Davis Cup for four years, if you don’t
participate in the Davis Cup, you lose points and that was why we dropped to
Zone IIII,” he added.
Skipper
of the side, Herman Abban, who spoke on behalf of his mates, expressed appreciation
to Dr. McKorley for rallying behind the team.
“…He
told us he works with champions and that he believes in us. We were motivated
by his words, money was not the issue, he urged us on and we played for our nation.
We want to thank him his investment will not go waste.”
An
executive of McDan Group, Leonora Appiah, on behalf of Dr. McKorley,
said, “Doc has passion for tennis, he is super excited and he has promised
to support the sport to the highest level. He has spent over $600,000 on tennis.
This is, indeed, good news for Ghana tennis. “
The team comprises
Fred Egyir (coach), Herman Abban (Ghana’s number two), Isaac Nortey (number one)
Benjamin Palm and Johnson Acquah.
Ghana
finished tops in Group A after defeating Cameroon 2-1 and 2-0 at the Hard
