Malvern, St. Elizabeth-
November 2, 2011 Manchester High vs Munro
Both teams started quickly in an effort to take the lead, but it was Manchester who began to impose themselves on Munro. Apart from a few sporadic attacks, Munro never appeared to be in the game offensively.
Manchester midfielder Vincent Mitchell weaved his way past three Munro players to score with a shot to the upper right hand corner of the goal. Munro nearly equalised when Ryan Dwyer's excellently taken free-kick was deflected by the Manchester wall, barely missing the upright.
The second half was dominated by Manchester, and it would be Vincent Mitchell who doubled the score when he pounced on a loose ball after Munro Keeper Akeem Forbes saved a header from point blank ranged. Manchester cruised to a 2-0 victory.
November 5, 2011 Munro vs Lennon
In a grudge match at the STETHS Sports Complex, Munro was determined to reverse the embarrassing 5-1 defeat to Lennon High they suffered last season.
Munro had a better game than the Manchester game but could not find the net. Goalkeeper Akeem Forbes came up big on a few occasions to keep Munro in the game.
In the second half Munro had a slight edge in ball possession, and narrowly missed scoring on two occasions with Ryan Dwyer's ferocious shots just going wide. The game would end 0-0.
November 9, 2011 Grange Hill vs Munro
Munro scored their first and only goal from the penalty spot of this round with Amin Miller scoring.
Grange Hill would even the score when a corner eluded the Munro defense with Orvest Hewling sliding in at the far post to equalize. Munro problems escalated when right back Cleus Benjamin missed a clearance with his right foot; Daryl Daley collected the loose ball and fired powerfully past Akeem Forbes.
Grange Hill would score two more goals to win 4-1, their biggest win since defeating first round minnows Little London High and Maud McCleod High.
It was a disheartening season for the former champions Munro College, as they were only able to manage a point in the inter-zone round.
