The semi finals line up for the 2nd annual Ralph Green sponsored East Bank Football Association Under-11 league will be decided today when the final three matches of the round-robin stage are contested.

With Grove Hi Tech already assured of a place in the final four accumulating 14 points from their 7 matches, Samatta Point Kanville FC 11 points, while Mocha Champs and Herstelling Raiders FC are on 9 points each all from 7 matches apiece, the battle is on for the final three available spots.
Still with two matches to play are Diamond Upsetters, Agricola, Diamond United and Friendship with 8, 6, 6 and 4 points respectively all still in with a chance of making it through which makes today’s matches all the more exciting.
Defending champions Agricola Red Triangle have not been able to replicate their consistent form shown in last year’s tournament and will hope to record only their third win in six encounters when they come up against Diamond United also going after their third win in six matches.
Agricola’s quest to ease closer to the semis by taking full points will be led by the duo of Seon Grant and Jonathan Andries who have scored four goals each so far. Jadan Paul and C. Bowling with a pair of goals each will also lend support to the cause.
Diamond United will depend on the likes of Ronaldo Adams (2 goals) and Jarrell George (1 goal) to deliver nothing less than full points.
Today’s second match of three will see the red hot Diamond Upsetters led by exciting goalkeeper Joshua Dias – small but fearless between the uprights – taking on bottom of the table Friendship.
Diamond Upsetters, apart from Grove Hi Tech is the only other team to have lost a single match and will be going for win number three as they seek to add to their eight points from two wins and an equal amount of draws.
Shafeek Russell, Mohamed Amin, Shawn John and Abdullah Amin are some of the players that will be combining to deliver a third win for the Upsetters. Friendship, which finished fourth in the inaugural tournament, will have to improve in every department if they are to deny the Upsetters today.
The final match of the day will see Friendship taking on Agricola as the two plays back to back.
