Commonwealth Games: Ghana Grabs Two Silver And Three Bronze Medals

Ghana's national boxing team, the Black Bombers, grabbed two silver medals and a bronze medal at this year's games.

Abraham Mensah, a product of the Out Boxing Gym in Accra, grabbed a silver medal in the bantamweight division.

The Ghanaian boxing prodigy lost against Northern Ireland's James Eagleson 5-0 on points in the finals and therefore settled for a silver medal.

He was forced to forfeit the final bout in the men's featherweight (54-57KG), as he took home the silver medal.

Experienced boxer Abdul Wahid Omar, on the other hand, grabbed a bronze medal despite losing in the semi-finals against Mauritius boxer Richamo Collins.

On the track, Joseph Paul Amoah won a bronze medal for Ghana in the 200m after clocking 20.49s.

Acquah, coming into this year's games, had a personal best of 6.37m, but improved on her performance, grabbing Ghana's third bronze medal at this year's Commonwealth Games.
