Agricola Red Triangle on account of a 60th minute penalty from Kacy ‘Boombie’ John
Action in the Agricola (red) and Kuru Kururu Warriors STAG / EBFA Senior League.
took full points from Kuru Kururu Warriors in the lone match of the STAG / East Bank Football Association (EBFA) Senior League which was contested on Sunday at the Grove Playfield.
In a match that saw the Warriors creating the majority of chances but failed to score, Agricola, runners-up to defending champions Grove Hi Tech, made good on their only serious chance to win the match.
It was John himself who was fouled in the box by the warriors’ Joshua Oselmo and he made the opponent pay for that slip up.
What made the loss even more heartbreaking for Kuru Kururu was the fact that Agricola was reduced to 10 players in the 33rd minute when Collis Samuels was given marching orders by the Referee for using abusive language to one of the Assistant Referees; Samuels will now have to miss two matches.
But despite the loss, Agricola still rallied to win the match as Kuru Kururu blundered on too many occasions including the penultimate minute when one of their players missed an open goal.
Sunday’s opening match did not come off as Diamond United gifted a walk over to Mocha Champs.
Agricola will now face of with defending champions Grove Hi Tech in a crucial match this Sunday which will have a bearing on the eventual outcome of the league. It is always a ding dong battle between these two sides and Sunday’s feature match is expected to be no different.
The opening match at 13:00hrs will see Soesdyke match skills with Herstelling Raiders.
