Pryce to the Rescue, Munro hunts win against Lacovia

Malvern, St. Elizabeth- Westmoreland native Lenworth "Pinchazz" Pryce scored arguably the most spectacular goal this season, when he drew his team level against Zone leaders STETHS with a sizzler of a bicycle kick.

Both teams played out a forgettable first half as they struggled to find their rhythm on a bumpy pitch. The second half would produce more excitement.

STETHS would go ahead in the 75th minute when a Munro defender handled the ball. Kevon Farqueson gave Munro goalkeeper Akeem Forbes little chance, blasting the ball to the right of Forbes.

Desperate to salvage the game Munro coach Alric Clarke, soon replace Kaniel Harrison, and Neon Brown with Ryan Dwyer and Lenworth Pryce. Shaunuvan Desouza who looked off colour at centre forward moved to the flank; a move which paid dividends. Munro came to life offensively with these adjustments and began making raids at the STEHTS goal.

Desouza collected a pass on the right and skipped by two defenders, fainted the shot before laying off the cross to Pryce who was unmarked in the box. Pryce calmly controlled the ball on his chest then leaped into the air, riffling the ball with an acrobatic volley into the goal, earning Munro an 88th minute equaliser. Pryce's strike was so sublime it brought cheers from Munro and STETHS supporters alike. Many struggled to conjure up a goal equal to the one Pryce score in recent memory.

With this 1-1 draw Munro are third with ten (10), and STETHS lead with sixteen(16) points.In other games, Black River beat Newell 5-1 to move to second on twelve (12) points, while Balaclava upstaged Lacovia 2-1.

Munro will be seeking to move into second spot when the play at home to Lacovia today.
