NSC/EBFA/Ralph Green U-11 League – Semis
Kaieteur Sports – The semi-final dye has been cast for the 2022 edition of the NSC/EBFA/Ralph Green Under-11 League following four breathtaking quarter-final match-ups on Saturday last at the Agricola Ground.
Whilst Fruta Conquerors scored all the goals in their 6-1 triumph over Eagles FC of Stewartville, West Demerara, the upset of the day was Friendship All Stars’ 1-0 win over the previously undefeated Kick Start Academy of Den Amstel.
Qualifying as the second-best team from Group A, behind winners, Santos, the East Banks lads knew that the task of holding off Group B winners, Den Amstel would have been a tough one, but they showed up on the day and delivered the knock-out punch to the unsuspecting, West Demerara team.

In their three wins, Kick Star Academy scored well over 10 goals, more than doubling Friendship’s 4 in their three matches. But on Saturday, goals dried up for Kick Start Academy owing to some solid defending by the Friendship team.
Shameer Azeem – Friendship All Star FC.
When it seemed like the game was heading to kicks from the penalty mark, Shameer Azeem had other ideas, and his shot just outside the goal area on the left side squeezed into the back of the nets to the shock of the Den Amstel-based team but the delight of the Friendship players. The winning goal came in the 29th minute.

It was a tough day at the office for the West Demerara-based teams as neither of them was able to advance. Pouderoyen went down to Santos FC 0-2 with goals either side of play from Aron Vasconcellos and Malachi Alleyne.
The Linden Soesdyke Highway-based Swan FC continued their unbeaten run with another impressive win, turning back the challenge of Vengy FC, 5-0. Eleon James and Stephon Singh scored a double apiece with the other off the boot of Kevon Charles.

Fruta Conquerors, riding on a five-for from the dominant Dane Vancooten, brushed aside Eagles FC of Stewartville, 6-1, the other was scored by Dontey Kowlessar; Eagles’ lone response was an own goal which was scored by Vancooten.
Teams are now focused on the task of winning their respective semi-final matches which will be contested on Saturday at the Agricola Ground. This is the first time that an entire age-group tournament is being played at this venue and the community is very grateful for this opportunity afforded them.
