Goals either side of play saw Kuru Kururu Warriors defeating Agricola Red Triangle to edge debutants Swan FC by a single point to end as the second-best team on the penultimate day of competition in the inaugural East Bank Football Association (EBFA) leg of the GFF/Pele Alumni Frank Watson U-15 Intra Association League.

Playing at the Timehri Red Ground on Monday, the Warriors, held to a draw by Herstelling Raiders FC on Saturday, knew that a win would have landed them in the runner-up spot to Timehri Panthers, who have already bagged the title with a game still in the bag.
Dwight Noble opened the proceedings in the 11th minute, and the icing was put on the cake in the 60th minute when Shaquille Agard found the back of the nets to cap a fine league for the Linden-Soesdyke Highway lads, their seventh win in 11 matches.
Agricola were left on 19 points from their full quota of matches and had to settle for fourth place behind Swan FC.
The other match on Monday saw Mocha Champs handing Diamond United their 11th loss in as many matches, the former winning 9-0. Shamar Alleyne landed a hat-trick, with goals in the 6th, 59th and 61st minute. There were a brace each for Adoni Rutherford (13th, 26th minute) and Kester Stewart (49th, 51st minute).
Yohance Douglas in the 25th minute and Jermaine Harry in the 45th were the other Mocha players to get on the score card.
The curtains on what has been a very exciting league which saw two new teams competing will be drawn on Saturday with the final match bringing together winners Timehri Panthers and Mocha Champs.
A win for Mocha can see them jumping from their current 10th place to sixth while a win for the Panthers would further consolidate their winning place at the top.
