MCYS/East Bank Inter Village Football: Kaneville slay Timehri; Grove rough up Circuitville
Domini Garnett scoring his first goal from the penalty mark.
Kaieteur Sports – The first upset of the inaugural East Bank Inter Village football tournament unfolded on day two at the Eccles EE Ground when underdogs Kaneville needled the high flying Timehri in a battle that was deemed David vs Goliath.
The day’s opening encounter presented little trouble for the re-emerging Grove team as they easily got past Circuitville 7-2, led by one of their most consistent forwards ever, Domini Garnet.
Day two, however, belonged entirely to the Kaneville lads who turned up with intent as they matched their rivals from Timehri, play for play from the first whistle. Timehri lacked the zip that they are known for as they struggled to piece together consistent potent plays.
On the other hand, Kaneville had a point to prove, and that they did. With every passing minute, one could have felt the pressure building on Timehri and they eventually lost the focus in the fading moments of the final half.

Matches in this group stage is 70-minutes and with two (2) minutes to game time, the almost deal was sealed for the underdogs when Deno Cupidore rocked the back of the nets with a well-crafted goal to record a huge win for Kaneville as they took the summit in Group D.
Timehri will now have to win big against Friendship in their final group game to give themselves a chance of being in the top two from the group to advance to the quarter finals.
The village of Grove, which has arguably produced the leading club side on the East Bank for many years, have been in the doldrums for a few years, they have welcomed this Inter Village tournament.
They have shown that by clinically whipping Circuitville 7-2 led by Captain Domini Garnet, who scored a hat-trick, and is now the leading scorer in the tournament. He scored in the 21st minute from the penalty mark after a handled ball in the area.
Garnet was again on target in the 34th and 48th minutes. Kevin Padmore scored in the 26th, Rayfield Hilliman in the 37th, Akeem Jarvis (52nd) and Jamal Cordis completed the deal in the 64th minute.
