Interzone Round Beckons for Munro and STETHS

Malvern, St. Elizabeth- Many time Champions Munro will seek to become early qualifiers for the interzone round when they go in search of a win at STETHS on Saturday. Munro are coming off a 4-0 whipping of Newell High yesterday. Striker Amin "Chiller" Miller scored a hat-trick, along with Kaniel Harrison's penalty. Munro are now tied with STETHS on twenty two (22) points.

A win for Munro or STETHS would lift them to twenty five (25) points and automatic qualification. Black River High who lost 2-1 to Lacovia at home yesterday with twelve (12) points are closest to Munro and STETHS in the points standings. With four matches remaining it would take nothing short of a miracle for Black River to qualify for the next round. Black River would have to win all their remaining games to get to twenty four (24) points, with Munro or STETHS having to lose all their remaining games in order to facilitate the unlikely qualification of Black River.

The Munro, STETHS game on Saturday has all the making of a classic. When the two met in September, it was on the bumpy Munro Sports Complex Field. This time around the surface at the STETHS Sports Complex will allow for much better football. Both teams are highly motivated, and losing is not an option for either.
