Munro and Petersfield FC draw 0-0

Savannalamar, Westmoreland- The Munro College U17 football team left the Llandilo Football Field fuming after point man Demari Stevens' header was adjudged offside from an Okeem Royal free-kick which curled beautifully around the Petersfield defensive wall.

Munro was no where near full strength as only 12 youngsters could make the trip for this match which was played on an outing weekend. Munro total dominated the first half against the group leaders and should have scored on 2 other occasions.

The first miss came from Chavez Anglin when headed wide from a cross that beat the Petersfield goalkeeper. Chrishem Black collected a pass from the right but failed to turn and shoot while unmarked in the box.

Had Munro won this game they would have assumed leadership of the zone. Munro now have six points from 4 games, but are in a good position having to play teams that are near the bottom of the group.

Munro enter Westmoreland FA U17 Competition

Savannalamar, Westmoreland- Munro College in an effort to develop the young football talent at that institution has entered the Westmoreland FA U17 tournament. Coach Hopeton Gilchrist has registeed a squad of 30 players ranging from U14 to Dacosta Cup.

In their 2 games so far the Munro College team displayed penach which has made them the talk of the town.

Munro played their first game against premier league outfit Reno FC without a large number of key players due to clashes with other sporting activities. They were unfortunate not to have clinched the win when a Shaunovan Dezousa scorcher from the outside right hit the cross bar, and the follow up oppurtunity was headed over the bar by striker Waldane Hampton. Substitute and U16 striker Chrishem Black made his way to the top of the Reno 18 yard box, but kicked powerfully into the hands of the goalkeeper. The game ended in a 0-0 score.

In their second match Munro continued to miss the imput of a number of key players due to half term holidays, but still managed to put in a decent performance to earn a 1-1 draw with Forever Sports courtesy of a Kenry Rowe free-kick.

Munro Garner draws at Jonathan Hibbert Memorial Cup

Malvern, St. Elizabeth- Munro College came away with two 1-1 draws against Portland All Stars, and 2008 Dacosta Cup semi-finalists Lacovia High.

Ace striker Jermaine Samms displayed a mild return to form with a goal against Portland.

In the other game, Munro controlled play for the most part against Lacovia and were rewarded in the first half, when Safial Mason broke away down the right crossing to Allen Bell who made no mistake.

With the game 1-0 in Munro's favour Mason got into the box and was fouled by Lacovia central defender Oral Gray, but no penalty was given. With time ticking away Lacovia equalised from a goal mouth melee.

A number of Munro's players where selected for a second trial to take place at STETHS at 1:00PM. They are Jermaine Samms, Akeem Bowes, Odane Reid, Allen Bell, Kriswayne Wallace, Dayton Stuart, and Safial Mason.

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.
