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.
