Compliments of an own goal off the boot of Herstelling Raiders’ Shoran James in
the 10th minute Agricola Red Triangle ended their quest for top honours in the Ministry
of Culture Youth and Sports (MCYS) sponsored East Bank Football Association (EBFA) with their second win in five matches.
It was billed as a clash of the defensive minded teams and that is how it unfolded, Agricola holding their nerve to hold on for the win which has taken them to second in the points standings behind leaders Craig Primary, both on 8 points, the latter enjoying a better goal average.
Bothe teams enjoyed good moments with Herstelling having the edge in offensive raids but Agricola played with heart and never allowed Herstelling to settle in the final third.
Yesterday’s opening game produced a 1-1 tie between Grove Hi tech and Mocha Champs who registered their first point. Grove have only themselves to blame for not securing full points, throwing away a penalty and scoring against themselves which handed Mocha their first point.
Six minutes into the game, Grove’s leading goal scorer, Devon Padmore was on the score sheets again but this time against his own team much to the delight of Mocha, it was actually Mocha’s first goal in their third game of the league.
It took some time for Grove to even the score, on 20 minutes, Jamal Thom rocked the nets to equalize and ensure that the home team earned an equal share of the points which saw them ending the competition on 7 points from their five matches.
Mocha still has two games in hand having joined the competition late while Craig and Herstelling have a game each.
