Swan Football Club, in their first tournament as a member of the East Bank Football Association (EBFA) showed great composure in clawing their way back to beat Mocha Champs 3-2 in their final game of the GFF/Pele Alumni Frank Watson U15 Intra Association League yesterday at the Timehri Red Ground.
In the other match played, Herstelling Raiders fought back from a two goal deficit to earn an equal share of the points against Kuru Kururu Warriors as the former brought their campaign in this league to a close ending on 14 points from their quota of 11 matches.
The Warriors, with one match to play against Agricola Red Triangle today, is one point ahead of the Agricola side in their inaugural tournament which is sponsored by the Pele Alumni Corporation.

A win for either side today can see them ending in the second place to Timehri Panthers which is already assured of the title with a game to play against Mocha on Saturday when the League will come to an end.
The other match today brings together Mocha Champs and Diamond United from 09:30h, the penultimate day of the competition which kicked off on January 20th at the Grove Playfield.
In yesterday’s main attraction, Mocha Champs took the lead after eight minutes of play through a Jermaine Harry goal but Swan fired back to even things up in the 15th minute, compliments of Christov Roberts’ strike.
But ten minute later, Mocha restored their one goal advantage when Yohance Porter found the back of the nets. That advantage lasted until the 55th minute when Swan evened the score once again through Kevin Daniels’ goal.
This was during a dominant period of play which saw the Linden Soesdyke Highway lads missing numerous chances. So it was no surprise that the winning goal came in the 60th minute off the boots of Azeem Calistro to cap a dominant second half for his team which has ended the league on 22 points from their 11 matches, 7 wins 3 losses and one draw.
