The Alfred Kanneh Memorial Cup

The Alfred Kanneh Memorial Cup

The winning team receive the Kanneh Cup, Feb 2020, presented by Mrs Tiangay Kanneh

Alfred Kanneh organised a friendly football competition between all fifteen One World Link schools in Bo. It was held in February 2018 during a visit by teachers from the UK. The schools were divided into two zones and each school brought two girls and two boys – the event was a fantastic showcase of the unity of the OWL schools.

Alfred was a teacher at BDEC New Gerihun Road and the Public Relations officer for the Bo teachers committee but sadly he passed away later. The competition was held again in 2020 in his memory, now named the Kanneh Cup, with the trophy awarded to the winning team by his wife and children.

Here’s hoping it can be played again soon and can continue to represent working together.
