Malvern, St. Elizabeth- Munro College's Dacosta Cup campaign gained momentum when they romped Newell High 5-0, eclipsing STETHS (idle today) as zone leaders. Lead by a hat-trick from Amin "Chiller" Miller, and a goal a piece from Captain and National U17 invitee Kaniel Harrison, and another from Ryan "Blacka Shine" Dwyer, Munro appeared a more fluid unit than the one that clipped Balaclava 2-1.
Miller who was on suspension, and missed Munro first game against Balaclava, could have easily doubled his tally of goals. The multi-talented Miller has the potential to be one of the best strikers in the Dacosta Cup this season given proper focus and discipline.
Mean while, Black River High battered Lacovia High 4-1, and Decartereth College drew 2-2 with Balaclava.
Munro has an intriguing match-up with Black River this Wednesday at Black River High. This game promises a lot of fire works and should be worth travelling many miles to see. Both these teams have had memorable battles with each other in the junior ranks when Munro won the U14, and two years later the U16. Munro got the better of Black River by a 1-0 margin when they played in the U14 competition, but lost to them 2-1 in a practice game January 2008 when Munro prepared to play Kingston College in the all island U14. Black River proved to be one of Munro's toughest foes in the 2009 Galloway Cup U16 competition , when the teams played out a 0-0 draw. Their is an additional twist to this match-up, in that one of Black River's top midfielders Kevon Howard, the brother of former Munro Dacosta Cup player Kemar Howard has opted to play for Munro.
With the zone appearing to have only three formidable teams in Dacosta Cup favourites STETHS, many time champions Munro, and the tenacious Black River, a win for Munro away on Wednesday will put them in the drivers seat ahead of STETHS' challenge of Black River next week Tuesday.
