THE East Bank Football Association Boys U14 League delivered another thrilling day of youth football on Sunday with two captivating matches that showcased the incredible talent and determination of the young players.
In the opening game, Timehri United’s Nyron Barrow, the league’s leading goal scorer, demonstrated his exceptional free-kick prowess by netting two stunning goals against Soesdyke FC. Barrow’s first strike came in the 35th minute, followed by another masterful kick in the 58th minute, sealing a 2-0 victory for Timehri United. Despite the defeat, Soesdyke FC put up a strong fight, creating several goal-scoring opportunities and displaying commendable resilience throughout the match.
The second game saw a major upset as Friendship All Stars FC edged out the tournament favorites, Swan FC, with a narrow 1-0 victory. In a fiercely contested match filled with pace and skill, both goalkeepers delivered outstanding performances. However, it was Friendship’s Brandon Bruce who made the difference, capitalising on a loose ball just outside the box in the 57th minute and unleashing a precise right-footed shot into the bottom-left corner of Swan FC’s goal. Swan FC launched a desperate final attack in the closing moments, but Friendship’s defence held firm to secure the win.
