CULT / EBFA U-17 League …Grove Hi Tech edge Herstelling
When football continued at the Grove Playfield in the CULT sponsored East Bank Football Association Under-17 league yesterday afternoon, Grove Hi Tech squeezed to a 2-1 win over Herstelling in the lone game played.
Third Time Lucky! Grove Hi Tech goalie Lloyd Matthews (4th right) scores the second goal from the spot on the attempt after being blocked by Herstelling FC goalie, Quazim Yusuf.
Kuru Kururu Warriors were winners via the walk over route as Agricola Red Triangle did not show up for their clash.
The ever improving Herstelling held their own against the seasoned Grove side but the home team kept their composure to take full points and in the process maintained their unbeaten record.
National Under-17 forward Joel Dick it was who handed Grove the lead in the 28th minute, up to that point, it was a close encounter as Herstelling matched the home team in every department.
Grove, one of the most lethal teams when it comes to goal scoring, were just not able to have their way against Herstelling, their second goal coming via the penalty spot in the 61st minute when Dick was brought down in the area.
Lloyd Matthews, the goalkeeper for Grove was tasked with the responsibility of taking the shot and he almost messed it up. His first attempt was partially blocked by his opposite number, National Under-17 goalie, Quazim Yusuf.
The second attempt by Matthews hit the bottom of the right upright and somehow the ball again went back into the path of Matthews whose third attempt beat the diving Yusuf.
Grove were put under pressure in the 70th minute when Dick received his second yellow card and was given marching orders. Herstelling sensed that they were now in with a better chance to make something of the game.
They did reduce the lead when they were awarded a penalty in the 91st minute and it was buried by their leading scorer Seon Alfred to the right of Matthews who did not move. But it was a bit too late and the game ended with Grove taking all three points.
