Grove Hi Tech ended the first round of the Stag Beer sponsored East Bank Football association division-one league in a blaze of glory, whipping Mocha Champs 8-1 at the Grove Playfield on Monday afternoon last.
Already ahead in the standing by virtue of a better goal average after being locked on 15 points with Soesdyke Falcons and Timehri Panthers, the home team emulated the other teams in the tournament who have all defeated Mocha.
It was a no nonsense approach adopted by Grove who were led with a hat-trick each from Domini Garnett and Timothy Griffith. Dexter Archer it was who put the home team ahead ten minutes into the game and thereafter it was just a matter of how much the final score line would have read.
Garnett converted his first in the 12th minute and completed his tally with efforts in the 62nd and 68th minute. Griffith emulated his Captain Garnett with goals of his own in the 27th, 38th and 57th minute. The icing was put on the cake in the 73rd minute.
Mocha did not leave the game empty handed as Jermaine Liverpool scored their consolation goal in the 73rd minute from the penalty spot.
Grove, like Timehri and Soesdyke displayed admirable consistency during the first round, Agricola started well but fell away during the latter stages of the round. Kuru Kururu Warriors have held their own while Diamond and Herstelling, the latest team to join the EBFA has both been showing heartening signs of development which augurs well for an explosive second and final round of matches.
All the teams will be reviewing their performances with a view of coming out stronger as they battle for the first place prize of $300,000.
