Playing in the feature game, Herstelling Raiders needled Agricola Red Triangle, while in the opening encounter; a brace from Threvon Pluck guided G r o v e H i Te c h t o a comfortable 5-0 win over Diamond United FC. Herstelling, riding on their second place finish in
the CULT Under-17 league went to business early against the Agricola boys and were rewarded a penalty when the ball was handled in the second minute of the game. Captain and defender Devon Winter stepped up to take the shot and he put the ball away clinically past goalkeeper Christopher Adams to give Herstelling the lead. The ensuing exchanges did not see any more goals, even as Agricola made a few raids of their own, it was the home team that squandered many other opportunities to stretch their advantage. In the opening game, Grove got the better of Diamond United, the sixth team to register for the tournament. Grove, already winning both junior tournaments so far this year (U-15 and U-17)
made a bright start in their quest for yet more silverware. Under-15 leading goal scorer Threvon Pluck has already eased into the top place again finding the back of the nest twice to set his team apart. Pluck was on target in the 24th and 34th minute. Devon Padmore had put his team in the lead in the 12th minute his brother, Kevin sealed the deal in the 52nd minute after Solomon Ward tucked in one of his own in the 45th minute.
