THE 2015 season of the East Bank Football Association (EBFA) kicked off Saturday at the Grove Playfield with the association’s Pee Wee Under-11 league – the home team starting off on a winning note with a 5-1 win over Diamond United FC.With a commitment to youth development, the EBFA, which organised tournaments at the Under-13, U-15 and U-17 levels in 2014 apart from a senior league which was contested over two rounds, is focused on attaining even greater heights this year.

Grove Hi Tech made a clean sweep of all the tournaments in 2014 and made their intentions clear that they intend to repeat this year.
They controlled the game against Diamond for the greater part and were guided to their win compliments of double strikes off the boots of Devon Padmore and Jamar Mayers.
Mayers was on target in the 9th and 18th minutes of the 30-minute game while Padmore hit the network in the 14th and 19th minutes. The other goal came off the boot of Jamaal Thom in the 25th minute.
Diamond’s consolation goal was netted by Joel Ross one minute before full time. Competition is set to continue this Saturday at the same venue.
