Malvern, St. Elizabeth- A penalty by Captain Kaneil Harrison and a brace by the ever dangerous Shaunuvan Desouza culminated in a 3-0 victory by Munro College over Balaclava.
As a result of this win, Munro is now even on sixteen (16) points with group leaders STETHS who's game against Decartereth College was washed out. In a game of academic interest only, Lacovia got by Newell 3-0.
Munro will next play Black River twelve (12) points on Saturday at Munro, in a game which promises to be competitive.

Pryce to the Rescue, Munro hunts win against Lacovia
Malvern, St. Elizabeth- Westmoreland native Lenworth "Pinchazz" Pryce scored arguably the most spectacular goal this season, when he drew his team level against Zone leaders STETHS with a sizzler of a bicycle kick.
Lenworth Pryce in conversation with the Media
Both teams played out a forgettable first half as they struggled to find their rhythm on a bumpy pitch. The second half would produce more excitement.
STETHS would go ahead in the 75th minute when a Munro defender handled the ball. Kevon Farqueson gave Munro goalkeeper Akeem Forbes little chance, blasting the ball to the right of Forbes.
Desperate to salvage the game Munro coach Alric Clarke, soon replace Kaniel Harrison, and Neon Brown with Ryan Dwyer and Lenworth Pryce. Shaunuvan Desouza who looked off colour at centre forward moved to the flank; a move which paid dividends. Munro came to life offensively with these adjustments and began making raids at the STEHTS goal.
Desouza collected a pass on the right and skipped by two defenders, fainted the shot before laying off the cross to Pryce who was unmarked in the box. Pryce calmly controlled the ball on his chest then leaped into the air, riffling the ball with an acrobatic volley into the goal, earning Munro an 88th minute equaliser. Pryce's strike was so sublime it brought cheers from Munro and STETHS supporters alike. Many struggled to conjure up a goal equal to the one Pryce score in recent memory.
With this 1-1 draw Munro are third with ten (10), and STETHS lead with sixteen(16) points.In other games, Black River beat Newell 5-1 to move to second on twelve (12) points, while Balaclava upstaged Lacovia 2-1.
Munro will be seeking to move into second spot when the play at home to Lacovia today.

Munro delayed, STETHS Lead Zone
Malvern, St. Elizabeth- Many time champions Munro College had their probable return to winning ways derailed for the time being when their game against Lacovia was halted at the quarter hour mark due to inclement weather.
The game had barely started when Lacovia drew first blood from a free-kick which rebounded off the Munro wall and into the goal. Munro responded shortly after, when Montego Bay United player Shaunuvan Desouza who is returning from injury equalized for the former champions.
In other games, Ben Francis Champions STETHS recorded the biggest win of the day when they mauled Newell 17-0 to lead the group on nine (9) points. Decartereth College moved into second spot when they upset Black River 2-0.
The competition resumes in Zone F on Tuesday when STETHS take on Black River away, Newell opposes Balaclava, and Decartereth face Lacovia.

Munro stunned by Black River
Black River, St. Elizabeth- Munro College were shocked by Black River when they were beaten 2-0 in their critical Zone F clash.
Black River opened the scoring early in the first half when their striker got behind the Munro defense, forcing Munro keeper Tevin Tomlinson off his line. Tomlinson brought down the Black River centre forward, and a penalty was awarded. Black River Captain Keno Mullings stepped up to convert the penalty kick.
Munro fought hard to find the equaliser, and could have got it when striker Amin"Chiller" Miller shot just wide of the far post. The first half however belong to Black River.
Munro dominated the second half, pinning Black Ricer in their own half. Amin Miller collected a pass from the right, speeding past the Black River defense, but his shot barely went over the cross bar. The diminutive Neon Brown had the Black River goalkeeper at his mercy, but shot wide of the post. Munro best chance of the game came when Kevon Howard swung the ball diagonally from the right unto the chest of Amin Miller inside the box, but Miller fumbled with the goalkeeper at his mercy.
Black River sealed the game when they won a free kick at the edge of the box. The ball was stealthily rolled unto the feet of Luciel Banton who fired past Tevin Tomlinson in goal.
Ben Francis Champions STETHS moved to six points in the group when they hammered Balaclava 5-0 at Appleton Estate. National U20 striker Kevon Farquharson scored twice for STETHS to take his season tally to five goals. Decartereth College moved to four points in the group when they beat Newell 4-2.
Munro will look to rebound when they face bottom placed Lacovia on Saturday at home.

Munro poised for Black River
Malvern, St. Elizabeth- Munro College's Dacosta Cup campaign gained momentum when they romped Newell High 5-0, eclipsing STETHS (idle today) as zone leaders. Lead by a hat-trick from Amin "Chiller" Miller, and a goal a piece from Captain and National U17 invitee Kaniel Harrison, and another from Ryan "Blacka Shine" Dwyer, Munro appeared a more fluid unit than the one that clipped Balaclava 2-1.
Miller who was on suspension, and missed Munro first game against Balaclava, could have easily doubled his tally of goals. The multi-talented Miller has the potential to be one of the best strikers in the Dacosta Cup this season given proper focus and discipline.
Mean while, Black River High battered Lacovia High 4-1, and Decartereth College drew 2-2 with Balaclava.
Munro has an intriguing match-up with Black River this Wednesday at Black River High. This game promises a lot of fire works and should be worth travelling many miles to see. Both these teams have had memorable battles with each other in the junior ranks when Munro won the U14, and two years later the U16. Munro got the better of Black River by a 1-0 margin when they played in the U14 competition, but lost to them 2-1 in a practice game January 2008 when Munro prepared to play Kingston College in the all island U14. Black River proved to be one of Munro's toughest foes in the 2009 Galloway Cup U16 competition , when the teams played out a 0-0 draw. Their is an additional twist to this match-up, in that one of Black River's top midfielders Kevon Howard, the brother of former Munro Dacosta Cup player Kemar Howard has opted to play for Munro.
With the zone appearing to have only three formidable teams in Dacosta Cup favourites STETHS, many time champions Munro, and the tenacious Black River, a win for Munro away on Wednesday will put them in the drivers seat ahead of STETHS' challenge of Black River next week Tuesday.
