The BHOBU Games, an annual event organised by old students of Bishop Herman College, marked its 10th edition on Saturday, 19 September, at the University of Ghana Stadium. The event drew a massive crowd of former students who gathered to celebrate and reconnect with one another. This year's event featured various competitions, including gaming, eating, athletics, and football.
The athletics competition saw the 2019 year group win gold in Heat One, while the 2005 year group claimed gold in Heat Two of the 100m race. In football, the BHOBU 2018 year group won gold in the Young Category after beating the 2015 year group 4-3 on penalties in the final. The 2003 year group defeated the 2005 year group 1-0 to win gold in the Senior Category.
Rev Edzorna Doe, a member of the BHOBU Games planning committee, expressed his satisfaction with the event's success. He described this year's event as the biggest edition so far, citing the massive crowd and the old boys' show of support. The event was previously held at other venues, but this year it was brought to the University of Ghana Sports Stadium.
According to Rev Doe, the decision to host the event at the University of Ghana Sports Stadium was a success, with the euphoria being high throughout the event. He also expressed his expectations for next year's event, which is expected to be even bigger and better. Next year marks the 75th anniversary of Bishop Herman College, and the organisers are looking to build on this year's success.
The BHOBU Games provide an opportunity for old students of Bishop Herman College to come together and have fun through music, dancing, and sporting activities. The event has become a significant part of the college's tradition, allowing former students to reconnect and reminisce about old times.
The 10th edition of the BHOBU Games was a testament to the college's strong alumni network and the importance of such events in fostering camaraderie and school spirit. The event's success is a reflection of the hard work and dedication of the planning committee and the support of the old boys.
As the BHOBU Games continue to grow and evolve, it is clear that the event will remain an essential part of Bishop Herman College's tradition for years to come.
