Munro clip STETHS 1-0

Munronians Lennox "Moony" Channer presents Kaneil Harrison with the MVP Ball

Malvern, St. Elizabeth- Fourteen year old Kaneil Harrison blasted Munro College to the top of Zone E when he fired home from inside the eighteen yard box to give Munro a 1-0 victory over STETHS.

Munro started slow with STETHS pressuring for most of the first half. STETHS could have snatched the lead when Deshorn Brown took advantage of a defensive mix up; rounding the goalkeeper, but fired over the top. Munro's lone chance of the first half came when Jermaine Samms collected a ball at the top of the goal area over dribbling in the process.

A re-energized and more purposeful Munro came out in the second half, taking control of the game. Munro would have to wait until the 72nd minute of play, when substitute Kaneil Harrison latched on to a loose ball, firing a well placed shot to the inside of the far post.

In other results, Balaclava High moved into second place on eight points with a 3-1 win over Newell High. Lacovia moved to six points with a 2-0 win over Black River High.

Munro will be gunning for a wide margin of victory when they take on bottom place Newell on Wednesday at home.

Munro, Balaclava Draw 1-1

Braes River, St. Elizabeth- Munro College suffered a minor scare when they had to come from behind to draw 1-1 with the upset minded Balaclava High.

Balaclava had previously drew with STETHS 0-0 in Santa Cruz a week earlier, came out determined to over throw Munro.

Munro, got the easiest chance of the game first when Rajiv Service received a perfect pass inside the goal area, but failed to finish.

Balaclava won a free kick which sailed over the Munro goal area unchallenged until it was headed home by an alert Balaclava attacker.

Munro nearly equalized before the break when Chavez Anglin got away down the left to crack a cross in, which missed the head of the onrushing Errol Davis.

Munro came alive in the second half, and would not have to wait long, clinching the equalizer from a torrid shot struck by Kenry "Shorty" Rowe. From this point on Balaclava came under severe pressure, with Munro hitting the goal post three times.

In other games STETHS blanked Lacovia 3-0 to join Munro on seven points, while Black River got the better of Newell 4-0 to get their first win.

Munro plays STETHS next on Saturday September 26, 2009 at Munro in a big Zone E clash.

Leighton "Egg Head" Thorpe's free kick heads powerfully towards goal.

Munro clip Lacovia 1-0

Carl Simpson scores with a penalty to put Munro up 1-0

Malvern, St.Elizabeth- Many time champions Munro College took sole control of Zone E with a workman like 1-0 win over Lacovia.

Midfielder Carl Simpson was clipped down in the box; returning moments late to score the penalty.

Munro continued to miss opportunities that would have widened the score, and nearly paid for their lack of finishing when the referee awarded Lacovia a dubious penalty in the second half.

Munro goalie Lloyd Tyme would have none of this nonsense and dived to his right to pull of a brilliant save. He subsequently was kicked in the head by the onrushing Lacovia player.

From this point on Lacovia with the help of blind eyed officials reverted to making the match a foul filled affair, injuring a number of Munro players in the process.

In other game STETHS moved into second place with a 9-0 drubbing of Newell High with striker Deshawn Brown get a double hatrick. Balaclava High kept pace with STETHS when they recorded a 1-0 win over Black River.

The third set of matches in Zone E will be interesting with Munro taking on Balaclava at Braes River, and STETHS taking on Lacovia at STETHS. Both games are paramount and will begin at 3:30pm.
