Last Saturday at the Munro Sports Complex, the game came to life in the second half after a docile first half.
STETHS came close to scoring when Derval Vaccianna's right footed shot was headed off the line by Captain Leighton "Egg Head" Thorpe. Davian Ash produced a well placed header at the Munro goal, but the excellent Lloyd Tyme pulled of a great save.
STETHS scored the opening goal when forward Denmark Gillings weaved his way into the box, with Munro defender Monnair Moodie sliding in to thwart Gillings' run, referee Cardella Samuels pointed to the spot, deeming what appeared to be a good tackle an infraction instead. Levaughn Baker converted from the spot in the 69th minute.
Referee Samuels would make yet another blunder when Kaneil Harrison went up to challenge for a ball, but lost his balance hitting a STETHS player on the way down. Samuels proceeded to send him off.
Munro pressed for the equaliser, and appeared to half gotten it when they were awarded a penalty when STETHS defender Jason Jacobs handled the ball from a corner. Jacobs was red carded for his doings. This was not to be however, as STETHS substitute goalkeeper Leo-Pepe Cole blocked Leighton Thorpe's powerfully hit penalty.

Munro and STETHS have now qualified for the interzone round, after Decarteret College who are third in the group, were eliminated when they lost 1-0 to Lacovia on the weekend.
