Top four maintain positions; Mocha register first win
… Aaliyah Boston is first female to score
GROVE Hi Tech, Agricola Red Triangle, Timehri Panthers and Swan FC have all maintained their positions at the top of the table following the latest round of action in the East Bank Football Association / Ralph Green Under-11 League which continued on Saturday last at the Diamond Community Centre ground with all 12 clubs in action.
Sealing a place in the tournament’s history this year was young Aaliyah Boston of Swan who netted the first goal of their 6-0 win over Friendship All Stars; it was the first goal scored by a female in this league, with other clubs having young females playing for them also.
Following four previous losses, Mocha Champs finally notched their first win and did so emphatically, thumping Herstelling Raiders 9-0 on account of hat-tricks from Matthew Forte (3rd, 23rd, 27th) and Jahem Lewis who rocked the nets in the 4th, 9th and 13th minutes.
There was a double for Kwesi Kelly in the 7th and 19th minutes with the other goal being an own goal scored by Kai James of Herstelling in the 22nd minute.
Timehri Panthers were again in dismissive mood in their 7-2 clipping of Hauraruni Eagles. Omar Sam led the victory with a helmet-trick, finding the back of the nets in the 17th, 18th, 29th and 30th minutes. Teammate Shaquele Caleb tucked in the three other goals in the 4th, 19th and 21st minutes.
Hauraruni Eagles scored two of their own, thanks to Josiah Ross in the 8th and 25th minutes. Aaliyah Boston set the scoring train in motion for Swan as they recorded their fourth win in five matches.
Boston found the back of the nets in the 11th minute after which the team’s leading marksman, Anderson Webber, took over to score the next five goals in another clinical display; he was on target in the 12th, 16th, 19th, 23rd and 26th minutes.
Agricola, currently in second place and one of two undefeated clubs and the only club yet to concede a goal, inked their fifth win in as many matches– a 3-0 triumph over Diamond United. Their captain, Jonathan Andries, led by example, notching in all three goals in the 8th, 10th and 25th minutes.
Grove Hi Tech, the other undefeated team, got past Diamond Upsetters 2-0; both goals scored by Jamal Cordis in the 3rd and 5th minutes.
Samatta Point/Kaneville won via a similar margin over Kuru Kururu Warriors with the goals coming from Sherlon Hetmyer in the 6th minute and Jamal Farley in the 19th minute. Matches will continue on Saturday at the same venue.
