Jermaine "Sampo" Samms attempts to score with a looping shot from range.The Munro College DaCosta Cup team defeated STETHS 1-0 at the STETHS Sports Complex on Saturday July 12,2008. STETHS having acquired the services of a new coach in Andrew "Colours" Edwards formally of Titchfield High, and a number of recruits, were looking to reverse their fortunes against Munro.
STETHS had the first shot on goal in the early going which was well saved by goalkeeper Deandre "Flucko"Samms. Towards the end of the first half STETHS threatened the Munro goal with a torrid freekick which was parried onto the crossbar by goalkeeper Samms.
Munro came out in the second half looking more purposeful. Ace striker Jermaine" Sampo" Samms weaved his way through and fire a shot from long range just missing the upright. Munro would take the lead when Allan Bell got by two players and neatly passed to Samms who was brought down in the box. Munro captain Kriswayne "Tappa"Wallace obliged giving Munro the victory.
The featured game of the double header was an over 35 match between Lions Football Club out of Long Island New York and STETHS All Stars. The STETHS allstars team boasted Dacosta Cup legends such as Clive "Spider" Wedderburn, Wendell Dowswell, Calvin Valentine, and Carl "Lond Life" Palmer. The allstars went ahead through a one time volley by Calvin Valentine, but the visitors duelly responded with the equaliser soon after. The game ended 1-1.
This now marks the third time in a row that Munro College has defeated STETHS. Munro will now turn their attention to Irwin High on Thursday July 17,2008 at 3:30pm in Montego Bay.
