Munro race to Lead in Zone F

Appleton, St. Elizabeth- 2009 Ben Francis Finalists Munro College rounded Maggotty High 3-0 to assume the leadership of Zone F. In the other Zone F game DeCarteret College clipped returnees Mile Gully 1-0 to join Munro on three points. STETHS and Lacovia are next with a point each after their dull 1-1 draw on Saturday.

Munro turned in a lackluster performance against a young Maggotty team that boasts a couple of the St. Elizabeth parish U15 team members. After an earlier miss from Karl Simpson, 2010 Munro U17 team Captain Shaunavan Desouza rocketed the ball into the net from a cross on the edge of the 18 yard box. Munro 2010 U17 striker Amin "Killer" Miller scored his first goal at senior level when he headed the ball into the goal. Akeen Royal also added to the scoring.

STETHS coach Andrew Edwards is a worried man. His team did not look good on Saturday against a defensive minded Lacovia High. STETHS were made to fight hard for the 1-1 scoreline after Lacovia drew first blood from a Jermaine Seaton strike. Lacovia has problems of their own; key member of the Lacovia coaching Lance Morgan was taken aback when his strategy for the game against STETHS was not employed.

Munro's chances to win the Zone are quite good, but they most avoid defeat away to Lacovia next Wednesday, and STETHS the following Saturday to keep these hopes alive.

The next round of games in Zone F for Saturday are as follows:

Lacovia vs Maggotty
Munro vs Mile Gully
Decarteret vs STETHS
