Grove Hi Tech played flawless football to emerge as the top team in the inaugural Trophy Stall sponsored East Bank Football Association (EBFA) Under-15 League which concluded yesterday at the Grove Playfield, East Bank Demerara.
The home team ended as the only unbeaten team of the two-round league with a 2-1 win over Herstelling, a much improved team that featured two female players.
Yesterday’s other game saw Soesdyke Falcons overcoming Diamond to take the second place with a 4-2 win. Soesdyke were in a must win situation going into the game and pulled out all the stops against Diamond which defeated them (0-1) when the two sides met in the first round.
The Timehri boys never allowed Diamond to settle into a rhythm as they established their intentions from as early as the 7th minute joint top leading goal scorer Shane Meusa rocked the nets.
Diamond fired back five minutes later through Teon Forde to draw level. Kevin Marshall, who netted a double for Soesdyke, fired in his first in the 33rd minute to restore the advantage for Soesdyke. He ensured that Diamond would not be a threat to their victory bid when he completed his double strike in the 39th minute.
Diamond, kept on plugging away in search of more goals and were rewarded in the 69th minute when Ixios Da Silva found the back of the nets to reduce the advantage but on the stroke of full time Shakeem Billson restored Soesdyke’s two goal cushion, with a goal of his own.
Grove were pushed by Herstelling which have improved leaps and bounds, it was the champions closest margin of victory against the least experienced team of the league.
Simeon Richardson handed the home team the lead 29 minutes into the encounter but Herstelling drew level in the 46th minute, compliments of an Adrian Sattaur strike. Even as Grove strove for goals, Herstelling put on the biggest performance of the competition as they stood solid in defence.
It took the effort of the tournament’s joint leading goal scorer Threvon Pluck to guide his team to a hard fought win when he breached the Herstelling defence in the 67th minute to seal the win and maintain Grove’s unbeaten record.
The presentation of prizes to the teams and top individual performers will be done shortly. Trophies and medals will be awarded to the top three teams while the fourth placed team will also be rewarded as will the highest goal scorers; Threvon Pluck of Grove Hi Tech and Shane Meusa of Soesdyke Falcons who ended with 7 goals each.
The Most Valuable Player, Best Goal Keeper and Best Coach will all be rewarded.
