Feb 08, 2014 Sports

The East Bank Football Association (EBFA) has announced that the 2014 Stag Beer sponsored division-one, which was set to kick off tomorrow at the Grove Playfield, will now start next Sunday, February 16, at the same venue.
The EBFA has said that the inclement weather was responsible for the change of date since the ground would not be in top shape for the start of the new season.
Kuru Kururu Warriors and Diamond United will set the tone for what is anticipated to be an exciting season for teams on the East Bank at all levels. That game will kick off at 13:00hrs. The feature game brings together Mocha Champs and home team, Grove Hi Tech.
The other teams that will be competing for the top prize of $300,000 are Soesdyke Falcons, Timehri Panthers and Herstelling Football Club.
The second place team will pocket $150,000, third place $100,000 while the fourth place team will take home $50,000 dollars. A number of individual prizes including the Golden Boot for the player to score the most goals; Golden Glove for the best goalkeeper; Golden Ball for the player to score the most goals; Fair Play trophy and the Best Coach.
Meanwhile, the EBFA will also hold their Annual General Meeting next Sunday at the Grove Community Centre from 11:00hrs. Topping the agenda will be the election of office bearers.
