Timehri trounce Herstelling; Diamond win by walkover from Mocha

TIMEHRI Panthers blanked Herstelling 4-0 while Diamond United gained full points without breaking a sweat after their opponents, Mocha Champs failed to show up when play in the Stag Beer-sponsored East Bank Football Association (EBFA) division-one league second-round continued yesterday at the Grove Playfield, East Bank Demerara.Herstelling showed some signs of toughness early on but once Timehri got their scoring form in place, it was just a matter of how wide the margin of defeat would be as the experienced Timehri boys made light work of their less experienced opponents.
It did take some time for the opening goal to hit the back of the net, Orin Steele obliging in the 23rd minute – the Herstelling and goalkeeper Quazim Yussuf failing to stop the effort. Goal number two was converted in the 34th minute when Royston Burgess’ shot got past Yusuf who failed to get down in time to stop the ball. Timehri 2 Herstelling 0.
The halftime whistle sounded with the score unchanged. Timehri continued their control of proceedings in the second stanza, netting two more goals while keeping their opponents goalless.
Troy Johnson in the 48th minute and Leon Denny in the 60th sealed the win for Timehri and full points which took them ahead of Agricola to third place in the standing while Herstelling dropped below Diamond United to seventh place.
More matches will be played this Sunday at the same venue.
