SWAN Football Club and Eagles Football Club of Stewartville, West Coast Demerara both posted their first wins when play in the fourth edition of the East Bank Football Association (EBFA) Under-11 League, sponsored by USA-based Guyanese Ralph Green, continued yesterday at the Guyana Football Federation (GFF), National Training Centre, Providence, East Bank Demerara.

Defending champions Timehri Panthers and Riddim Squad both collected their second win in four outings while Vurlon Mills Academy and Fruta Conquerors battled to a 0-0 draw. There was also a draw in the Agricola Red Triangle vs Kuru Kururu Warriors clash, 1-1.

Despite the draw with Conquerors, Vurlon Mills Academy are the team to beat in Group ‘A’ as they are still in pole position and have sealed their place in the next round of the competition, with a game in hand.

Fruta Conquerors, with two matches to play can still seal a place in the next round but will have to win both their remaining matches and hope that Timehri Panthers slip up in their final match.

The Panthers defeated Diamond United 2-0 yesterday on account of goals from Esteban Madina in the 11th minute and Shaquelle Caleb in the 17th minute.

Swan romped to a 3-0 win over Friendship All Stars in a very close match which saw Friendship wilting under the midday heat in the final five minutes of the match. It had looked like the match was heading for a draw but Swan’s players had differing ideas.They knocked in three unanswered goals, a double from Kevin DeGoias in the 25th and 27th minute with Marko Andrews tucking in the other in the 29th minute to seal a memorable win for the Swan lads.

Riddim Squad needled Grove High Tech through a Jaheam Lewis 9th-minute goal. The win propelled Riddim Squad to the top of the points standings in Group ‘B’ on goal difference ahead of Kuru Kururu Warriors who had to claw their way back from being a goal down against Agricola Red Triangle to earn an equal share of the points.

Agricola went ahead in the 4th minute thanks to a Brandon Narine goal. It took the Kuru Kururu Warriors until minute 22 to be able to respond in like manner through a Jahson Maddison goal.

Eagles FC sailed to their first win via a 1-0 margin over Samatta Point/Kaneville – Terez Moore the player who sealed the deal for the West Demerara-based lads in the two minutes before full time (28th minute). Matches will continue next Saturday at the same venue.
