Munro, Negril FC do Battle for Zone A

Llandilo, Savannalamar- Defending U17 Champions Munro, and their Zone A nemesis Negril FC both recorded contrasting wins yesterday in the WFA U17 competition.

Munro came away with three points without having to break a sweat when no hopers Russia FC who have just a point, failed to show. The boys from the pinnacle of the Santa Cruz Mountains waited steadfastly in the hope that Russia FC would show. Several calls were made to the management of the Russia team by the competition organizers, but no team was forthcoming.

Alas there was hope that the boys from Malvern, well attired in their new jersey would have a go after all, when it was pointed out that Negril FC was present, but their opponent was not. Negril was told to take to the field, but did not move for more than 15 minutes. STRATHS showed in the nick of time, to the disappointment of Munro.
Surely the organizers of this competition need to take a long hard look at a number of issues. The Clubs undoubtedly are at fault, and should communicate better with their players. The match in question aside: two other teams defaulted on their scheduled games and lost out as a result.

The clubs need to understand that competitions such as these are not only geared to winning the cash prize and the title, but also to building character and personality traits such as discipline, hard work, teamwork, communication, dedication, self confidence, self-worth mental fortitude and focus. The message being sent is wrong.

In another game Negril FC had to work much harder to produce a 2-0 win over STRATHS to stay ahead of Munro by a point.

Munro and Negril FC are schedule to contest the Zone in a game scheduled for this Tuesday April 6, 2010 at Llandilo Football Field beginning at 3pm sharp.
