Craig Primary School and Grove Hi Tech battled to an exciting 0-0 draw in the final group match of the Ralph Green sponsored East Bank Football Association (EBFA) Under-11 League Saturday at the Grove Playfield.
With the result, Grove topped Group A with four points having won their first match against Diamond 2-1; the latter ending with a single point from their two matches, Craig securing 2 points from two draws to end as the second placed team in the group.
Watched by the Guyana Football Federation (GFF) Technical Development Officer, Lyndon France, both teams played fearless football even as they are learning the fundamentals of the sport.
Both had flashes of dominance during the 30 minutes of exchanges, chances were created at either end but no goals materalised. The match ended in drenching rain and when the final whistle was sounded by Referee Shawn Singh, players from both teams threw their hands up in the air suggesting that the time was too short as they were now enjoying themselves.
However, both teams have booked a place in the semi finals which will be contested on Saturday at the same venue.
Debutants Friendship topped Group B and are the only team to have registered two wins, defeating defending champions Herstelling Raiders 2-0, while gaining a walk over from Agricola, the other team advancing from the group as Herstelling missed the cut.
Agricola showed up for battle on Saturday last and registered a 3-1 over Herstelling, the largest margin of victory by any team in the competition so far.
A new champion will be crowned on April 9 but first teams will collide in what is anticipated to be two exciting semi final encounters this Saturday. Grove Hi Tech will come against Agricola Red Triangle in the first match at 10:15hrs with the second semi final between Friendship All Stars and Craig School.
