Jones’ brace leads Grove Hi Tech past Diamond United

Grove Hi Tech opened their quest for top honours in the Ralph Green sponsored East Bank Football Association (EBFA) Under-11 League on a positive note when the registered a 2-1 win over Diamond yesterday at the Grove Playfield.
Captain Tyrese Jones netted either side of the 30 minute contest to guide his side to full points in the Group A clash. Five minutes into the match, Jones worked his way from the defensive end into the Diamond United box before smartly lobbing the ball over the head of the Diamond goalkeeper, Kemary Gittens.
The first half ended with Grove in the lead by a single goal even as Diamond enjoyed a few good moments. The trend of dominance continued for the home team in the second half with Jones doubling the lead in the 18th minute from a free kick just outside the area on the left side.
Diamond never stopped trying even though they were trailing and were rewarded with a consolation goal in the 26th minute, Jael Ross’ shot beating goalkeeper Romesh Persaud to his left.
The goal sparked celebrations from the Diamond team with Ross somersaulting to celebrate. Soon after the final whistle sounded and Grove came away victors 2-1. Friendship took full points from Agricola Red Triangle which failed to show up for their match-up.
It was the second win for Friendship which had defeated defending champions Herstelling Raiders in the competition’s first match on March 5th. Matches will continue this Saturday at the same venue.
