The East Bank Football Association’s (EBFA’s) Under- 14 Boys League resumed on Saturday, April 26, at the Guyana Football Federation’s (GFF’s) National Training Centre at Providence with another exciting round of matches.
Although only one of the three scheduled fixtures was contested, this marquee clash saw Herstelling Raiders FC squaring off against Timehri United FC in a fiercely contested match that lived up to expectations.
In what proved to be an end -to-end thriller, Wayne Henry, a dynamic young midfielder from Timehri United, emerged as the hero after he pounced on a goalmouth scramble and slotted home a decisive toe poke that proved to be the vital difference in a match defined by high energy and relentless pressure from both sides.
Both teams had showcased excellent defensive organization and impressive goalkeeping skills, and neither side was willing to concede an inch to the opposition. Herstelling’s attacking threats were in full flow against Timehri’s resolute backline holding firm to secure the clean sheet and all three points.
The victory saw Timehri United climb to the top of the league table in what is shaping up to be a highly competitive campaign.
The day’s other two fixtures were decided by walkover, with Police FC U14 Boys being awarded full points after Swan FC failed to show up for their match, and Agricola FC gaining a similar result against Friendship All Stars FC.
Action in the East Bank U14 League resumes today with more matchups expected as the young talents continue to battle for top honours.
