Munro race to Lead with Wins (WFA U17)

From Left to Right: Carl Simpson, Demari Stephens, Akeen Royal, and Akeem Brown

Llandilo, Savannalamar- Munro College with an emphatic 5-0 and a knock down drag out 1-0 win over STRATHS FC and Roaring River FC respectively torpedoed to the top of Zone B with 15 points.


The boys from "the City set upon the Hill" had to play 2 games in a single day to make-up for time lost due to mock exams.


STRATHS FC were up first, and took a shellacking from an ominous Munro team. A brace from midfield magician Carl Simpson, and one a piece from striker Demari Stephens, Akeen Royal, and Akeem Brown produced the 5-0 outcome.


In the second game which occurred about 15 minutes later Munro were made to work hard for their win against a stubborn Roaring River FC. Tempers flared through out this eventful encounter, as the official failed to make calls in favour of Munro which would earn them penalties for infractions committed inside the Roaring River goal area. Munro peppered the Roaring River defence with attacking moves through Karl Simpson, Shaunovan Dezousa, Demari Stephens, Akeem Brown, Akeen Royal, Xavier Hendricks and Errol Davis.


Davis came close to scoring when his shot from inside the area beat the goalkeeper and ricocheted of the cross bar. Munro clinched the elusive winner when Royal collected a pass just inside the box and slotted past the Roaring River custodian.
Munro are now one game away from the semi-finals, "great work guys".
