Munro brace for STETHS

Malvern, St. Elizabeth- All roads lead to Malvern St. Elizabeth for the gigantic Zone F top of the table clash between many time champions and current Zone leaders Munro College, and  Dacosta Cup Champions STETHS.

Shaunavan Desouza (Left), and Amin Miller (Right) celebrate after Miller Scored in a first round game.

When the teams meet tomorrow afternoon at 3pm in the cool hills of Malvern, Munro will look to maintain their edge over STETHS. Munro boasts an enviable four year unbeaten home game streak, and have conceded only one goal all season; this coming in their 3-1 win over minnows Mile Gully last Wednesday.

The STETHS contingent are faced with an uphill task to unseat the defensively stubborn Munro. Exacerbating their level of difficulty will be the absents of their top three players Kevon Farquarson, Akeemo Palmer, along with goalkeeper and Captain Gregory McKogg, who are all on national duty at the CFU U20 play-offs in Guyana. Coach Wendell Downswell, and winning Dacosta Cup coach Andrew Edwards will be both absent from the sideline due to their assignment with the Jamaica U20 Team. Undeterred by this, Assistant Coach Omar "Rambo"Legister, has used two contrasting teams in the last two games out of his twenty-six man (26) squad, to make up for the absence of his three henchmen.

Munro on the other hand should be ultra confident at home, they have not conceded a goal to STETHS at home since 2005. Coach Harrison is intent on qualifying for the Ben Francis and will leave nothing to chance. Munro will rely on the attacking prowess of Amin Miller, Shaunuvan Desouza, Kaneil Harrison, Karl Simpson, and Kenry Rowe to gain them victory. Munro needs only a point to qualify for the interzone round, but will be more satisfied with a victory tomorrow.

I could not wait for the Munro/Steths blog from saturday's game to be posted up i have to say from wut i saw on cvmtv online because like i mentioned b4 as a former student of munro and soccer player and now in the US from wut i saw in the game Munro looked better the better team they had alot of chances especially Amin Miller,Kenry Rowe,Akeen Royal,and Xavier Hendricks they should remain but i think Eccleston should start,that guy brown was good too reminds me of someone i played with he is a good defender.But the munro guys need to put away the chances when they have them they seem to be playing classic munro ball when they take it easy and skillful to the top then they start making mistakes because they r so eager to score that's really when they should calm down and focus not slow down tho Desouza had some chances instead of crossing the ball over he should realli have tested the goal keeper who was the second string alot of long range shots should have been taken and especially since it was wet the goalie would have had no chance,Desouza beat his man multiple times so did Xavier try convincing these guys to take more shots when they get to the goal area instead of sharing the ball once the defender has been dismissed.They seem to be resting sometimes it's go time when you play a heavy team attack early heavy and non stop and the most important part of the game was the fog did anybody notice how when munro seemed dangerous the fog came down and at the sametime that's when steths scored?something to think about..God bless Munro
