Goals either side of play saw Kuru Kururu Warriors defeating Agricola Red Triangle to edge debutants Swan FC by a single point to end as the second best team on the penultimate day of competition in the inaugural East Bank Football Association (EBFA) leg of the GFF/Pele Alumni Frank Watson U15 Intra Association League.
Playing at the Timehri Red Ground yesterday, the Warriors, held to a draw by Herstelling Raiders FC on Saturday, knew that a win would have landed them the runner-up spot to Timehri Panthers which has already bagged the title with a game still in the bag.
Dwight Noble opened proceedings in the 11th minute and the icing was put on the cake in the 60th minute when Shaquille Agard found the back of the nets to cap a fine league for the Linden Soesdyke Highway lads, their seventh win in 11 matches.
Agricola were left on 19 points from their full quota of matches and had to settle for the fourth place behind Swan.
The other match yesterday saw Mocha Champs handing Diamond United their 11th loss in as many matches, the former winning 9-0. Shamar Alleyne landed a hat-trick in the 6th, 59th and 61st minute.
There was a brace each for Adoni Rutherford (13th, 26th) and Kester Stewart (49th, 51st).
Yohance Douglas in the 25th and Jermaine Harry in the 45th minute were the other Mocha players to get on the score card.
The curtains on what has been a very exciting league, which saw two new teams competing will, be drawn on Saturday with the final match bringing together winners Timehri Panthers and Mocha Champs.
A win for Mocha can see them jumping from the current 10th place to 6th while a win for the Panthers would further consolidate their stance at the top.
