Munro defeated by Ruseas 3-0

Santa Cruz, St.Elizabeth- Munro College went down 3-0 to Ruseas High in the final of the rural U14 WESTERN Finals. Jason Johnson scored once, and the diminutive Anthony Walker who opted not to enter Munro in 2007 had a brace for Ruseas.

Munro lost control of the game defencively when their inspirational left back, first form student Romaine Spence suffered an injury in the first half of the game. Munro failed to mark the Ruseas players closely giving them room to attack at will and could have avoided conceding so many goals.

Munro did not appear mentally ready to play a very competitive team such as Ruseas and failed to train (Did not train saturday morning & monday evening for finals teusday) since beating STETHS in the semiifinals.

We would like to thank Coach Steve Cole and the entire U14 squad for reaching the finals.

Ruseas are now set to take on Kingston College in the all island finals.

Munro fails to Advance to Final (U16)

Mandeville, Manchester- STETHS defeated Munro College 3-1 with much help from a band of St. Elizabeth officials. STETHS got on the score sheet first when one of their 2 strikers who were way offside collected a pass and slotted home pass the Munro goalkeeper. The referee looked towards the lines woman hesitated then awarded the goal.

Munro went on the attack and where rewarded when Amin Miller raced toward goal between two defender, resulting in one of them headed the ball into his own net. Munro should have went up 2-1 when Ryan "Blacka Shine" Dwyer headed over the bar from a Shaunovan Dezousa free-kick at point blank range.

Amin Miller should have sealed the victory for Munro 8 minutes from time, but his header six feet from the goal line ricocheted of the goalkeeper and into play.STETHS counter attacked, but Munro defended stoutly and played the ball up field and were in the process of an attacking move when the referee halted the game.

The referee went to examine a STETHS player who went down in the Munro box while Munro was in counter attack mode. One of the Munro players who was not even close to the play was yellow carded, and a penalty was given. Kevon "King Fish" Farqarson made no mistake from the spot for STETHS to go up 2-1.

STETHS added a third goal in injury time when the Munro goalkeeper was lobbed way off his line.

The Munro College U16 team did us proud having gotten this far. Munro were handicapped by the absence of their second striker Kryshem Black who missed school and faulty finishing.It is no shame losing to a STETHS team that boasts 4 Dacosta Cup players as opposed to Munro's one Dacosta Cup player.

The roles no doubt should reverse again in Munro's favour with much of this years U16 returning to contest the Gallaway Cup. The boys from Malvern will also be mindful of the fact that they won the rural U14 title in 2007.

STETHS most be commended for their performance this season having won all their matches, and scoring 10 goals in the quarterfinals alone. STETHS will be hard to beat and should win against Greenpond High who they beat 4-2 previously when the two meet again on Monday December 8,2008 at Mannings High.

Munro advace to the Semi- Finals (U16)

Malvern, St.Elizabeth- Munro College defeated Cornwall College 2-1 with goals from strikers Amin Miller and Kryshem Black.

The score should have been much wider when Munro had 2 goals that were disallowed. Chavez Anglin collected a pass and ran past a defender but was ruled offside by the linesman. The second saw Amin Miller's strike being disallowed because of an alleged foul. This would have given Munro a 4-0 lead.

Munro was also guilty of faulty finishing when Kryshem Black, Chavez Anglin, Amin Miller, and Kaneil Harrison all missed clear chances to score.

Although Cornwall scored they were never in the game and where dominated by Munro from start to finish.

Munro will next face STETHS who have won all their games this season in the semi-finals.

Munro draw with Lacovia 1-1

LACOVIA, St.Elizabeth-Munro College are left cursing their luck after surrendering a 1-0 lead to Lacovia High away in their key Zone E encounter.

Munro came at Lacovia like a team possessed and nearly scored when Allen Bell rushed down the left flank and crossed to Safial Mason who's diving header just missed the far post (See Video). Lacovia gradually settled down and started counter attacking with play down the flanks.

Munro could have gone ahead latter on in the first half when Odane Reid headed past the Lacovia goalkeeper, but he recover to stop the ball before it went over the goal line. The half ended goalless.

Munro attacked Lacovia relentlessly in the second half and were rewarded with a direct free-kick. Dayton Stuart made no mistake as he blasted the ball into the Lacovia net (See Video).

Lacovia tried desperately to equalize and won a corner at the other end. This corner would cost Munro the lead, as the ball was headed into the Munro net without a challenger from the Munro defense.

Munro regained the ascendancy in the game and came close to scoring when Allen Bell picked up a pass inside the box but fired high over the goal. Munro could have scored in injury time but striker Jermaine Samms' header was well saved by the Lacovia keeper.

Munro will now have to win their 3 remaining games which incidentally are home games and hope that Lacovia have an additional loss and a draw.

2008 Schoolboy Season Begins

Jamaica College's Ashani Walker who scored his team's two goals, dribbles through the heart of the Jonathan Grant defence in yesterday's Manning Cup game at Jarrett Park. The game ended 2-2.

WESTERN BUREAU
RURAL CHAMPIONS Garvey Maceo started the defence of their daCosta Cup title with a 1-0 win against Kemps Hill, while their urban counterparts, Jamaica College, had to settle for a 2-2 draw against Jonathan Grant as the schoolboy football season kicked off at Jarrett Park yesterday.
In their Zone I fixture, which they dominated but were found wanting offensively for the most part, the Jeffrey Hewitt-coached Garvey Maceo snatched victory courtesy of an 87th-minute penalty converted by Derron McLeod.
Jamaica College ran into early trouble in their Group C Manning Cup game against the sprightly Jonathan Grant and found themselves trailing 2-0 in the 27th minute through goals by Dovan Whitely and Jamie Hall. However, JC managed to secure a share of the points thanks to a double strike by Ashani Walker.
Composed team
In their game, Garvey Maceo looked the more composed team and created the majority of chances. However, Kemps Hill defended stoutly and tackled with rugged efficiency, which proved quite intimidating to their opponents.
"It was a courageous effort from my team and while we were not as fluent as I had hoped, an ugly win is better than a pretty loss," said Hewitt. "Getting all three points is a good way to start the season."
The all-important goal came when wily Mikhail Howell weaved his way into the penalty area and fired goalwards only to see the ball hit the outstretched hands of a Kemps Hill defender, who was penalised by the referee.
McLeod make no mistake with the resulting penalty.
Worse start
In the Jamaica College game, which was the curtain-raiser, the champions got off to the worst start possibly when, in the 20th minute, their goalkeeper, Kirkland Hamilton, made a rash tackle on Jonathan Grant's Shawn Smiley and was red-carded and the penalty awarded.
The initial penalty kick struck by Whitely was blocked by substitute goalkeeper Marlon Johnson but the alert Whitely fired in the rebound. Seven minutes later, Jonathan Grant struck again when Hall broke free in front of goal and fired out of the reach of the goalkeeper, making the score 2-0.
"Our first-half performance was quite good and had we repeated it in the second half we would have won the game," said Jonathan Grant's coach Carrol Parkes. "A lot of things went wrong for us in the second half."
Better half
Jamaica College, who looked a much more composed team towards the end of the first half, got on the scoresheet in the 31st minute when Walker caught the Jonathan Grant defence napping and fired in powerfully off the goalkeeper's body, making the half-time score 2-1.
The second half saw JC have the better of action and look the better team. They were rewarded in the 79th minute when Walker got away from the Jonathan Grant defence, worked his way into a shooting position and fired home, making the final score 2-2.
"We played well in parts but we did not get the result we wanted," said Jamaica College's coach, Alfred Henry. "We are all good, nonetheless."
