Timehri Panthers and Kuru Kururu Warriors take full points

The 2014 season of the East Bank Football Association (EBFA) kicked off on Sunday last at the Grove Community Centre Ground with a double header that saw Timehri Panthers waltzing past Mocha Champs 3-0 while Kuru Kururu Warriors eased to full points against Diamond United Football Club 3-1.
The Stag Beer sponsored division one league which features eight of the association’s clubs got off to an enterprising start with all the teams showing that they are eager and happy to see the return of competitive football to the association, compliments of Ansa Mcal Trading through their Stag Beer brand.
Timehri Panthers playing the feature game against Mocha never allowed their opponents to become a threat and scored at opportune intervals as they locked out the challenge of the Mocha boys.
Troy Johnson opened the score card for Timehri 19 minutes into the derby and while they would have loved to increase the advantage, Mocha kept up their quest to even the score. The halftime whistle came and the score was unchanged.
Even when play had resumed, Timehri had to fight hard to increase the advantage. That opportunity eventually came in the 65th minute compliments of an Andy Higgins strike. With five minutes to full time, the game was put beyond the reach of Mocha with a Seon David goal.
In the opening fixture, Kuru Kururu Warriors proved a bit too much for the yet emerging Diamond United Football Club to handle, the former romping to a comfortable 3-1 win.
The game started with both teams eager to gain the ascendancy but it was the boys from the Linden Soesdyke Highway who netted the first goal of the season compliments of Ryan Scott in the 15th minute, the first of his double.
Diamond however was not going to allow the Warriors much breathing space and they fired back almost immediately when Eon Glenn tucked one past the Warriors’ goalie in the 22nd minute.
The first half ended with the scores unchanged. Second half action was end to end but it was Kuru Kururu Warriors who assumed the advantage once again when Scott completed his brace in the 65th minute.
Ten minutes later the game was sealed the Warriors way through Cordell Johnson’s 75th minute strike.
More matches will be contested on Monday, a national holiday at the same venue.
