Stag Beer/EBFA Div. 1 League …Two drawn matches highlight latest play
Agricola Red Triangle had to settle for an equal share of the points against Kuru Kururu Warriors when the two sides clashed in the feature game of the Stag Beer/East Bank Football Association division-one league which continued on Sunday last at the Grove Playfield.
The day’s opening encounter saw Herstelling Football Club recording another big result when they held Diamond United to a 1-1 tie.
The Agricola/Warriors clash ended 2-2 after the former took the early lead in the opening minute of play compliments of a Michael Young strike. Agricola, with ambitions of winning the league went into the game confident that they were on stream to take full points which would have seen them reclaiming the lead from Grove Hi Tech, but resolute play by the Linden Soesdyke Highway based Warriors blunted the efforts of Agricola.
Kuru Kururu Warriors after an intense period of back and forth exchanges found the neutralizer in the 37th minute through a Ryan Scott goal. The first half ended with the game in the balance.
Agricola would have found themselves under mounting pressure to find the go ahead goal and the minutes dwindled away. Further pressure mounted on them when the Warriors were gifted the go ahead goal in the 60th minute through an own goal from Marlon Clarke.
It was delight for the Warriors and heartache for Agricola as the time quickly went by. But their resilience eventually brought them the equalizing goal with five minutes to full time, Travis Farinha rocking the nets to bring a sigh of relief to Agricola as they walked away with one point which brought them level with Grove.
Herstelling continued to show great improvement in their debut season, earning a draw against Diamond United to follow up on their maiden win against Mocha Champs.
It was Herstelling that took the early advantage 26 minutes into the game, Trevon Davison the player sending them ahead. It was not easy sailing for either team but Diamond kept their composure and eventually found goal scoring range in the 60th minute; Daniel Angoy ensuring they ended with an equal share of the spoils.
