HERSTELLING Raiders’ Shoran James has taken over the Most Goals position following his double which has also taken his team into the top spot of the ongoing Lens Craft Optical-sponsored East Bank Football Association Under-13 League being played at the Grove Community Centre ground, East Bank Demerara.James, an emerging prolific forward was on sung yet again in shaping another win for his team which defeated Mocha Champs 3-0, their second loss in the competition. James hit the target in the 3rd minute to open proceedings while doubling the advantage on the stroke of half time.

Mocha were never able to threaten the Herstelling Raiders’ advantage during the game and while they put up stiffer resistance in the second half they were not able to keep out the rampaging Raiders who netted their third goal on the stroke of full time – Narandra Kawal doing the honours.
With the win, Herstelling have now taken over the top spot on the table with 12 points from five matches while Mocha dropped one position down to six as they were overtaken by Kuru Kururu (KK) Warriors who thumped Craig 4-2.
While this was the first win for the Warriors in four encounters, it was Craig’s fourth successive loss. Kevon Scott led the Warriors with a hat-trick, the fourth of the league to date.
His first was netted in the 10th minute to hand the Warriors the lead but Craig’s Jadon responded in the 20th minute to level the score. But before the half-time whistle, Scott converted his second goal in the 25th minute to restore the Warriors’ advantage.
It was an even game once again in the 40th minute when Shaquan Lawson of Craig blasted the nets. However, the lads from Kuru Kururu never relented and in the spirit of true warriors once again restored the advantage. Once again it was Scott who was the hero with his third goal of the game with five minutes to game time.
Not taking any chances with Craig, the insurance goal came off the boot of Dwight Noble in the final minute of the game, the 60th, much to the delight of the Warriors who have now moved one position up to 5th while Craig remain at the bottom of the table.
Matches will continue this Saturday at the same venue.
