KK Warriors edge debutants Swan FC; Mocha Champs destroy Diamond United 9-0

GOALS either side of play saw Kuru Kururu Warriors defeat Agricola Red Triangle, to edge debutants Swan FC by a single point, to end as the second-best team on the penultimate day of competition in the inaugural East Bank Football Association (EBFA) leg of the GFF/Pele Alumni Frank Watson U-15 Intra Association League.

Playing at the Timehri Red Ground on Sunday, the Warriors, held to a draw by Herstelling Raiders FC on Saturday, knew that a win would have landed them the runners-up spot to Timehri Panthers who had already bagged the title with a game still in the bag.
Dwight Noble opened proceedings in the 11th minute and the icing was put on the cake in the 60th minute when Shaquille Agard found the back of the net to cap a fine league for the Linden/Soesdyke Highway lads – their seventh win in 11 matches.

Agricola were left on 19 points from their full quota of matches and had to settle for the fourth place behind Swan.
In the other match Sunday Mocha Champs handed Diamond United their 11th loss in as many matches, the former winning 9-0. Shamar Alleyne landed a hat-trick in the 6th, 59th and 61st minutes. There was a brace each for Adoni Rutherford (13th, 26th) and Kester Stewart (49th, 51st).

Yohance Douglas in the 25th and Jermaine Harry in the 45th minute were the other Mocha players to get on the scorecard.
The curtain on what has been a very exciting league, which saw two new teams compet, will be drawn on Saturday. The final match will bring together winners Timehri Panthers and Mocha Champs.

A win for Mocha can see them jump from the current 10th place to sixth, while a win for the Panthers would further consolidate their stance at the top.
