Grove Hi-Tech mauled Kuru-Kururu Warriors 6-3 when the East Bank Football Association [EBFA] Senior League commenced yesterday at the National Training Centre, Providence.
A 5-1 lead at the halftime interval effectively ended the contest. Darren McPherson led the rout with a double, with his opening goal coming in the 17th minute.
This was followed two minutes later by a Jonathan Bailey conversion. However, Kuru-Kururu reduced the deficit in the 20th minute, as Christopher Alleyne converted.
Nevertheless, Grove recorded three unanswered goals in the remaining minutes of the stanza to effectively extinguish any hopes of a Kuru-Kururu fightback.
Delroy Dodson make it 3-1 compliments of a 25th minute strike, before McPherson recorded his second, as he found the back of the net in the 37th minute.
Nikoloi Matthews got into the scoring act, making his presence felt as he netted in the 43rd minute. The lopsided nature continued in the second stanza, as Mervin Squires scored moments into the resumption to make it 6-1.
The scoreline would remain unchanged for the majority of the second half, with Kuru-Kururu, eventually tallying two consolation goals in the final five minutes.
Joseph Walker scored in the 87th minute before sibling Kevon Walker netted in the 90th+1 minute. The tournament continues at the same venue on Sunday, May 12th.
