Bo­is­men show­cased their finest skills on Wednes­day night at the semi­fi­nals of the NCC Stick Fight­ing Com­pe­ti­tion at the San­gre Grande Mul­ti-pur­pose In­door Sport­ing Fa­cil­i­ty on Ojoe Road, San­gre Grande.

The pul­sat­ing rhythm of African drum­ming and tra­di­tion­al stick-fight­ing chants set the tone for the evening, build­ing mo­men­tum as bo­is­men warmed up with their bois raised above their heads, chant­i­ng and danc­ing in rit­u­al fash­ion.
