By Angelina K. Morrison and Naana Ekua Eyaaba
Ghana

21. In athletics, Ghana held the Commonwealth record for the old 4x110 yards relay jointly with England at the Perth Games of 1962.
22. In Commonwealth boxing, Ghana together with England were right ahead of the pack, with our stylish pugilists like Eddie Blay, Jomo Jackson and others holding sway.
23. There were secondary school or “academicals” teams in football, athletics and hockey that competed with their Nigerian counterparts on an annual basis, serving as feeder clubs for the senior teams.
24. Cricket was not far behind, as there were annual competitions with Nigeria, and later Sierra Leone joined the fold.
25. Soon, the Empire Day Games, used to unearth sportsmen and women in all fields of endeavour was re-christened “The Founder’s Day Games.”
