Munro Eliminated in Quarterfinals;St.James Win

Craig "Breakfast" Foster scores the the final penalty to secure Munro's 3-2 win over Grange Hill


Montego Bay, St.James-Munro College's bid to annex the LINKZ 20/20 Football title stopped short at the quarterfinal stage. The boys from "the City set upon a Hill" outplayed the opposition handily, but did not execute when the opportunities arose.


Munro after defeating Grange Hill 3-2 on penalties went up against LINKZ 20/20 champions Jamaica College in the second quarterfinal. After a fast start by both teams JC went ahead 2-0 after defensive lapses by Munro.


The boys from Malvern were undaunted, and came at Jamaica College tenaciously. Their efforts nearly paid off when Errol Davis received a Craig Foster cross inside the JC 6 yard box, but fired over the bar.


Munro continued to pepper the JC defense, but faulty finishing let them down. The game ended 2-0.


The results for the LINKZ 20/20 from quarter final stage are as follows:


St. James High vs STETH 1-0


Munro vs JC 0-2


Brown's Town vs Godfrey Stewart 0-1


Semi Final results are as follows:


JC vs STETHS 1-1 (JC win 2-1 on Penalties)


Godfrey Stewart vs St. James 0-2



The result in the Final was as follows:


ST. James High vs JC 5-0



Munro will next play Frome Technical this Wednesday August 19,2009 at 3:30pm at a venue in Westmoreland to be determined, followed by a game against Manning's High this Friday August 21,2009 at Munro College.
