Munro salvage draw with Clarendon

Jamalco, Clarendon- Ben Francis finalists Munro College came away with a 1-1 draw against former champions Clarendon College.

Clarendon scored early when Munro central defender Leighton Thorpe lost his footing, was robbed of the ball, and with Munro keeper Lloyd Tyme at his mercy the Clarendon attacker fired into the goal.

Munro was resolute and came back strongly, pegging Clarendon in their half for long periods. The opportunities came and went, but Munro would get the equalizer late in the second half.

Rasheem Eccleston curled a corner into the Clarendon goal area which presented all kinds of problems for the Clarendon defense, resulting in an own goal.

Munro went in search of the winner, with Errol Davis racing past the Clarendon defense to cross inside, Rafique Roberts resulting shot went straight at the Clarendon goalkeeper.

Munro will play last year's beaten finalists Spalding Comprehensive on Saturday at STETHS beginning at 3:00pm.
