EBFA / Stag Beer Div. 1 League –Rd 2… Grove & Soesdyke secure full points
Title hopefuls Grove Hi Tech and Soesdyke Falcons both secured full points when they engaged in latest play of the Stag Beer sponsored East Bank Football Association division-one league second-round played at the Grove Playfield on Sunday last.
Grove eased to their 10th win of the season, a comfortable 5-2 result against Kuru Kururu Warriors, halting the excellent run of the Linden Soesdyke Highway based side which recorded back to back wins previously.
The result was never in doubt for the Grove boys who have been very clinical as they continue to strengthen their claim for the top prize of $300,000 and the Stag Beer trophy. The Warriors stood up for the opening 28 minutes before their defence was breached compliments of a Moses Fraser strike.
Colin Lancaster tucked in the first of his double two minutes after the opening goal to double the advantage while inspirational Captain and forward, Domini Garnett stretched the lead to 3-0 in the 40th minute.
The Warriors were able to reduce the deficit two minutes before the break when Ryan Scott found the back of the nets. As was the case in the first half, Grove continued their dominance of proceedings.
Lancaster achieved his double in the 53rd minute as Grove restored the three goal advantage, 4-1. The icing was put on the cake 67 minutes on when John Matthews added his name to the score sheets. Kuru Kururu added another goal to their tally on the stroke of fulltime, Cordell Johnson the scorer, his third goal in as many matches.
Sunday’s opening encounter saw Soesdyke Falcons running away easing victors over Diamond United with goals either side of play to win 2-0. Troy Austin netted in the 10th minute while John Gordon completed the win in the 53rd minute.
