GFF/NAMILCO Thunderbolt Flour Power U-17 League, EBFA leg…
─ Samatta Point edge Agricola
Grove Hi Tech FC’s Samuel Garnett blasted five goals to lead his team in a 7-nil rout of the beleaguered Soesdyke Falcons in last weekend’s matches of the GFF/NAMILCO Thunderbolt Flour Power U-17 League at the GFF Facility at Providence, EBD.
Samatta Point/Kaneville also upstaged Agricola Red Triangle 4-3 in a humdinger last weekend to record the biggest win of their still fledgling career in the EBFA.
Led by hat-tricks from Tyrel Khan, Tyrone Burnette and Captain Shanon Samnauth, Timehri Panthers ‘A’ romped to an incredible 11-nil win over Swan FC, while Mocha Champs and Timehri Panthers ‘B’ battled to a 2-2 draw.
Just back from duties with the national Under-15 Team that competed in the 2019 CONCACAF Boys’ Under-15 Championships at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida, USA, Garnett wasted no time in stamping his authority on the match as he exploded the nets in the 22nd, 38th, 39th, 48th and 52nd minutes.
Teammate and fellow national player Devon Padmore had opened the scoring in the 13th minute, while Nikosey Gordon closed out the goal spree with a strike in the 63rd minute.
Samatta Point/Kaneville put in a sterling performance against seasoned campaigners Agricola Red Triangle to win the match 4-3, even erasing a two-goal deficit to snatch full points and leave their opponents stunned.
Agricola had taken the lead through goals from Brian Lambert in the 16th and Jamal Fyffe in the 21st minute respectively; but Jadon Fort netted the first of his double in the 30th minute, while his teammate Kareem Richmond tucked one past the Agricola goalie two minutes later to even things up.
Agricola again snatched the lead in the 56th minute, but Forthe netted again in the 60th minute to knot the score, before Denzel Garraway sealed the deal for Samatta Point when he scored in the 65th minute to take a memorable win.
Like Samatta Point, Mocha Champs battled back from being two goals down to earn an equal share of the points in their match with Timehri Panthers ‘B’, who had run away with a two-goal advantage, thanks to a brace off the boot of Orin Solomon in the 22nd and 33rd minutes.
But Mocha Champs’ Warren Williams emulated his rival Solomon when he fired in a double of his own in the 40th and 62nd minutes to bring parity to the score and the match.
Timehri Panthers ‘A’ were in devastating form when they administered an 11-0 whipping on Swan, thanks to hat-tricks from Khan (8th, 34th, 60th), Burnette (21st, 39th, 41st), and Samnauth in the 23rd, 58th and 62nd minutes.
Complementing the efforts of the trio, Ishmael Pulsaram tucked in one in the 24th minute and Kevon Scott did likewise in the 59th minute.
