 We are at a place that we've never been before as far as broadcasting schoolboy football in the island of Jamaica and we are ready for this battle in the Issa Dacosta Cup. Fogo Road High will be on showcase on the bright sunshine here and they'll be facing a former winner in this competition in Gavi Maseo High. The teams will make their way, they are making their way out to the middle and we are anticipating a really good one as far as rivalries in this parish is concerned they are usually quite close and I can tell you that the parish of Clarendon is usually of a very high standard in the rural area competition and in this particular group the teams are not too far apart. Chris Taylor your thoughts on this matchup. The dominant parish Clarendon majority titles in terms of the Dacosta Cup titles in the rural areas and Gavi Maseo on top of the group two-time champions 2007 and 2021 and so far they have been dominant in this group three wins from four as we've seen but yet Fogo Road getting a little bit closer a one-nil loss in the opening match of this season and even though they have been dominated by Gavi Maseo over the years since their entrance into the Dacosta Cup in 2012 they have been formidable opponents of recent and of course from a neutral's perspective you certainly be hoping that Fogo Road put up a good fight today against this Clarendon captain Gavi Maseo who have already scored some 14 goals in their four matches. As we take a look at the officials we know that Okito Nicholson is the man in charge Adrian Taylor and Mosley Gale will assist him on this Hamilton is the official fourth this afternoon and take a look at the starting line-up for Fogo Road they are going with a 4-3-3 formation for Stated Javan Wheatley in goal Daily Galbert Javay Cross and Burnett Clark they are the back four in the middle of the park Delton Brooks alongside captain Brady Reed and Jevon McGee and up top we have Jevon Hales down the middle and he's flanked by Neon Clark and Nevar Brooks. They'll be hoping to get amongst the goals for Fogo Road look out for the player to watch Nevar Brooks one goal one assist to him so far Hales and Armstrong the other scores of course Armstrong seat on the bench to start this one. For Gavi Maseo they'll be going with a 3-4-3 formation Chris Marmaxwell is between the six Orlando Lee Blake Robinson and Wilton Williams the back three in the middle of the park we have McKenna the number three Devani McIntosh number two on the flank in the middle Conroy Williams and Anthony Sinclair up top Christopher Monroe you'll know his name he has a goal to his name so far this season clear clock has six goals to his name he'll be playing on the right-hand side and Delana Thompson is the new boy in the number nine for this Gavi Maseo team. Yeah Gavi Maseo looking to go deeper than they did last season when defending their title a bit disappointing how they fell away in the competition in the end but clear clock back in form and as I said six goals in just four matches for him 41 goals in his DeCosta Cup career clear clock and Fogaroad was certainly looking out for him because he did score that one goal in that 1-0 win in September. Well we're on the way here at Fogaroad High and it's the host in action against Gavi Maseo it was a tight encounter between these two early in the season and Gavi Maseo eats out a 1-0 win and speaking to Maren Gordon before the game and he said it was one of those games where Gavi Maseo didn't take their chances and if you allow Fogaroad to get into the game they will and they did well to hold them at bay for much of the game and it was a clock who provided the breakthrough one of six goals that he would have scored so far this season. It's been one of those performers 6-14 to A. It's been one of those performers Clark you did mention that he has scored what 41 goals in his career so far that's a heavy collision. Clark involved. Yep and although Clark remains down it's a goalkeeper who gets the benefit of the doubt as we take a look at the replay here. Well still needing some attention Clark from the bench and they wouldn't want him to remain down goalkeeper is also down and requiring some attention as well. Yeah Fogaroad went against Clark just remember for backing into the goalkeeper. Clark a big deal for this Gavi Maseo team especially if they are looking to go deep into this year's competition. I thought on the performed a bit last year here's the infringement and yeah backed into the keeper there instead of playing the ball and that's why the foul went against him rightfully so from referee Nicholson. But we're not used to see him down like that it it should be a little bit concerning for the Gavi Maseo team. Premier League players well experienced with Cavalier. Here as well. Here. Yeah. Fifth season now clear Clark. As we said 41 goals started out in 2018 with four then nine in 2019 then in the season winning year scored 16 goals behind Gavi Maseo frontman and big striker Gurgat Cousins was a 20 goal man that season. Well that was a strong team. Yeah and then 13 finished the season on a high did clear Clark but for a lot of the season just wasn't up to his usual standard. He did have a lot of assists though last season to give him credit. A lot of footballers would would pray for those numbers to be fair finished with 13 in the end and ate assists. But as he said in the business part early on where you were really looking for him to take the ball by the home as they would see. Yeah on the perform in that second season where he scored nine goals. He scored all the goals of the season at Manchester high. Ball was played through team was slightly behind him. Use his heel to propel the ball forward in one swoop and went on to score. It was just a magnificent strike and think it was what 13 14 years old at the time 15 at the time he was. He still has more time. Yeah he can come back next year if you want. Both played inside the box at the back post. Mondal controls sends it inside the chance over the top. The number nine Delana Thompson was right here. Try to get over it as much as he possibly could have but couldn't quite keep it down. That would have been spectacular had gone in. Yeah nice pass by Christopher Mondal as well went for the acrobatic finished Thompson could have probably stood his ground and side footed it. Lots of power but not the accuracy. Hales trying to get there for Fogarod as they tried to get into this game but he's all alone up front needs some support and didn't quite have it and had nowhere to go. It's a different vibe during the weekday when you go to a school and you see the spectators especially in the rural area they have permit offencing all around the ground and the same here at Fogarod with school just being out spectators all around the ground as they take a look at the infringement there once again. The free kick going in favor of Fogarod. This one is punted long. It's not a bad looking ball inside the area though. Governor Seyo having to handle it. The captain trying to get into the way read and the governor Seyo should be able to come out of the own defensive third with a throw. Jason Klausen just withstanding the heat. Yeah. Fogarod last year was their best showing they finished third in their group came down to their last match of the season where they needed a win against Vera to qualify for the second round for the first time. They lost by five goals to nail. I think it was they can be considered to be one of the spoilers in the Issa Dacosta Cup competition. They haven't been able to go through to the to the next round as the ball is over the top looking for Clark cuts inside clock. He can't shoot. Still Clark. He should have buried it. He maneuvered himself into a brilliant position to apply a more accurate shot that he eventually did. But it was over the top. Goal schedule clear clock. Compose up to the point of the shot but should have at least hit the target. Kept his eyes on it. Cutting well here. Good change of pace. Then onto the right foot. Just a drop of the shoulder but yeah leaning back a bit didn't get over it enough. Unfortunately for him well over the top. But warning signs early for Fogarod. As I said they were a difficult team to break down last season for the road and and in the first game. Yeah against the group leaders in Gavi. For the road actually had a player last season who was on the older Costa team Chadric Wolcock. Yeah. Quite a few man and match performances did Wolcock as this one is deflected and over the top as well. No longer part of the squad of course. No no he's not. But great to see a player from Fogarod. They've only come into being since 2012. This is Marin Gordon the head coach at Gavi Masio and the assistant coach with the Jamaica reggae boys at the senior level as well. Before we came on here we got the breaking news that Lauren Donaldson will no longer be the national women's coach. There was a time when Marin Gordon was considered to have been recalled to the national women's program. Lots of success at the school level with Lenon Hyde was. Here is the corner kick. It's a good looking one you know. Hitting the woodwork. Off the uprights. Where you did at Lenon and then as well at Gavi Masio because they actually have a pretty strong female football team now as well at Gavi Masio. So obviously his influence contributing to that. Well here's Fogarod trying to come forward along that left hand side. Could he keep the ball away now? But there was a deflection before it daily could gather it. Fogarod still trying to settle. Now there was another play. Fogarod they have played four games only conceded four goals. So as you see the first yellow card of the game. But yeah it just shows how good defensively they have been and how hard to break down they are. We would say that's a professional foul. Yellow card picked up by Kross. You'll have to be careful now clean up center back roll. Not often you see a number seven at center back. But yeah four goals in four games just adds to the improvement we've seen from Fogarod over the years over the seasons. And it's still encouraging even though they sit in fourth position. Freaking from way out. Oh yes rightful touch you know but again going over the top. But ambitious effort there. From way out. Came from Malik Robinson. One of the veterans in the Gavin Masio setup. But we've heard the name Fogarod high. On quite a few occasions across different sporting disciplines in Jamaica. Of course they've come more and more into the four as far as champs is concerned and their track and field program trying to do the same thing with their football program and they're getting there. You mentioned before that last year they would have finished third in their group in the Dacosta Cup. Yeah and a favorable result in their last game they would have been through to the second round. Which would have been a big deal for them and as I said a representative on the all Dacosta team as well. So positive signs for this team this school in South Central Jamaica. Yeah it's not too far from the Nulebin highway. This one is flicked over the top. Mandel is giving chase. They need to clear and they do. But Gavin Masio well Rafferty says play on and they do. Fogarod doing really well. They switched the play. Lovely intelligent stuff. Can't be advanced now. Ball over the top. Clark is giving chase. Couldn't quite reach him. The captain has it and that's Reed Meggy. Sending it out wide. Clark on it. Clark or he's skillful Clark. Couldn't quite get it back. And Gavin Masio with a throw in the own defensive third. Well there's a hopeful ball over the top. Clark is giving chase. Trying to win the header. Thompson. Mandel. Mandel with a chip inside the ear of the keeper. Oh that's a good catch you know. Lovely work by Javan Wheatley. It's a nice buzzer on the ground. It's a different vibe when you come to the schools during the weekend. The youngsters are able to come out and support but there's so much activity around the playing field. We mentioned before that they have a a strong track program. There's track training that's going off in the distance as well. And it's the first time they're hosting down there. There's a serious buzz because of that as well. A televised game. Yeah this is new for them. Yeah a televised game of course. Lots of teachers if you look around the ground as well supporting the school. And they're supporting Clark who plays that one inside. And that's also a good collection by Krishmar Maxwell. And they come streaming forward now Gavin Masayo. Thompson will get there. The flag stays down. He needs support. He has kept it in play but he has lost possession. Fogaro they've done well. Trying to set free Javan Hills. But Gavin Masayo will come forward again. McKenley with the dink inside. The flag going up. Offside. Hold. Against Thompson who had made the run wide. Gavin Masayo in possession. McKenley does well finding Mondal. Mondal utilising his pace. Still doesn't have the strength. The diminutive number seven. Played primarily in football as well and the books are very united. Last season Christopher Mondal hasn't gained any height Mondal. Still very short but you're telling me that you think he's lost height. Yeah. He looked shorter than I remember. Very quick in the wide areas though Mondal. Good pass as well from those wide areas as we saw in the first five minutes where he delivered that best chance so far for Gavin Masayo. Between him or Neon Clark of Fogaro I'm not sure who is the smaller of the two and here is Clark where he has he allows it to go by and that goes into No Man's Land. But here Clark is the one who wears number 11 for Fogaro. Asked to play out wide. Fogaro playing very deep so very hard for them to advance the ball at one stage. Ten of their eleven players behind the half line. Ball touched out wide. The flag stays down. Fogaro trying to advance but that's some good defending there and Williams will have it and Williams strides forward. Well that was more in hope than anything else. Gavin Masayo certainly out mostly in them so far. Yeah. A lot more physical the Cubans. And they aren't and they are not one of the bigger teams in in the the Costa Club. We can tell you that. Yeah. What's sturdy on the ball. They are. And you see the difference in there. So most of the 50 50 challenges being won by the team in yellow. Javier Cross will try to make it difficult for the government to defense. Wasn't successful in that endeavour. And even Maxwell between the sticks. Very short for a goalkeeper. What's to be said. Yeah. Freely on the other side is much bigger. The Fogaro custodian. Yeah. The flag should be up. Clark realised and didn't make an attempt. Interception made. Mondal. How to see Fogaro utilise a midfield a bit more. Oh that's a lovely turn from Mondal. He's heading to the byline on the pressure all the time from Clark. And it goes behind for a goal kick in the end. Yeah. Disappointing delivery. Generally a really good centre of gravity. There's Michael Ricketts. The president of the GFF. Having made a big call just a a couple hours before in removing Lauren Donaldson as the national women's head coach. This after they would have progressed beyond the group stages at the FIFA Women's World Cup. Making history. Yeah. It's a big call. Chris Taylor would love to hear your thoughts on it. Just missing out in terms of Olympic qualification going down to Canada. That was always going to be a difficult proposition. Not the whistle goes. Canada one of the highest ranked teams in the world. Currently tenth but has been as high as fourth in the world. And defending gold medalist as well at the Olympics. There's a the lead challenge. I was never going to get past Okita. Okita Nicholson. There's a delivery to the edge of the box that's easily handled by Gava Marcel. Oh that's a lovely second touching. Oh clear Clark on the run. Thompson is there for company but he may not need him and he's stripped. It's a free kick on the edge of the box for Gava Marcel and the yellow card. Well does it stay in the referee's pocket. Who was given chase there. I was wondering if maybe it was cross who would have been in some trouble there. He's on a yellow card. Yeah he is. And I think referee Nicholson realized it was cross. Yeah. And didn't go to the pocket but that's got to be a yellow card though Donald. Just look at this here. Took a tug there. Can't be. Oh it wasn't cross you know. What was it. That's got to be a yellow card. It is cross. Didn't play the ball. And certainly as you would say another professional foul from the number seven. And he's looking to be on the park. I do think that's a second yellow though. And Clark going through and go like an understand that would be a straight red because there are other defenders around. But cross has got to be off of the park. It's been a deal because Chris Taylor and that's another one. In the meantime a free kick for Garth Marcel. It's Clark who is behind this. What can be done with this set piece. The wall has been constructed. Here's the kick. Wonderful. The captain comes up trumps again and against for the road. He scores again. His second against him in the season. His seventh this season. And the clear Clark again proving to be the difference maker. Yeah. Forger road looking to still have eleven players on the park. But clear Clark makes them pay nonetheless to the near post. And unfortunately for Wheatley he couldn't get across in time. Did get across but a week. Left hand to it. And Clark celebrates his seventh. Yeah. He enjoys playing against Forger road. The Cubans are ahead again. Too easy though. Really too easy. Forty two in his the Costa Cup career. Cleo Clark. Wow. Thompson again finding Clark. Clark looking for options here. Not quite sure what option that would have been but Forger road looking to respond. Trying to switch the plate to Clark who is waiting for it but doesn't quite reach him. McKenley. Switching the plate. Oh Clark has acres of space and what a first take down. Clark on his left. Inside Clark has an opportunity to score. Denied by the keeper. Wheatley getting a hand to it. A strong hand on this occasion. And it goes behind for a corner kick. Yeah. One of the passes of the season. What a beautiful pass. Lovely technique. From the wide ear to Clark. And yeah, his first touch was scrumptious. And then the touch by Wheatley does pushing it over the bar. Forger road. They have to be careful. There are so many gaps at the back in the last couple of attacks by Garb Maseo. Really could drive a couple of buses through them as this one is sent in at the back post. And again a free header at the back post. And it goes behind for a goal kick and the players will pause for the water break. Garb Maseo in front. Clear clock. The difference maker so far in this matchup with Forger road. And the water break coming at the right time. Humid conditions here in Clarenton. And you know, I just thought like maybe 30 seconds ago that the breeze started to pick up and I was like, yeah, the players will enjoy that. Nice wind coming across the ground. But as you heard Gerard in his preview, 33 degrees Celsius. Wow. Good start for the Cubans though. That goal from Clio Clark. Unlocking the Forger road defense. Again and luckily for them, Wheatley was there on that occasion to tip over Forger road. Sitting a bit too deep for my liking. Need to be a little more enterprising. This was a goal from the free kick. It was a fallen Clark as well from Cross who was on a yellow card. Lucky and Nicholson. Well, in a favorable mood. Okita Nicholson decided not to send him off and give him the second yellow. But Clark made the most of it. Seven on the season. Two against Forger road. One nil. Garb Maseo Lee. I think if Cross sneezes the next time he's going to be sent off because he was lucky to still be on the park after the challenge on Garb Maseo's number ten. Yeah. Players are about to resume. Garb Maseo dominating the possession. Forger road still trying to make something out of this. Mondo nicely done. McKenley. Mondo continuing his run but McKenley deciding to go inside. Sinclair. Robinson inside. Williams. Wilton Williams. McIntosh. So a change is going to be made. Are you surprised? No, I'm not. Javier Cross who was lucky to still be on the park is taken out. Yeah. Yeah. I think the coach knew what was coming as well. He was lucky to remain on the park after that second tackle that led to the goal for Clio Clark and not taking any further chances was coach Klauson. That's what you call reading the tea leaves. Clark experienced been around a long time at this level with Clio Clark. Pinpoint in the defender in terms of him being on a yellow card and running at him specifically to expose him and pay it off. Well here they come again ball. Oh, that's a lovely ball snapped through. And couldn't quite keep it in play. Clio Clark. Yeah but Kanroy Williams disappointing that pass. Overweighted the pass but his first touch was excellent. Christopher Mondo switched to the right hand side cutting in and that pass into him was very good but Williams needed to do better. Probably was a bit surprised in how quickly it got to him. Yeah. In terms of turn his body to shoot. Try to play in Clark what overcooked the pass. It was always going to be a difficult battle over on the far side. Clearance eventually made Williams again trying to switch to play for McKenley was applying the pressure. Mondo almost bundled off the ball free kick to Gav Masio. So free kick to Gav Masio. I think they've worked it out. Almost. Fogaro did well to read it. Gav Masio they are pushing themselves to be right up there in the Lacoste Cup this season. And you think that they have the personnel to do so including McKenley on this left hand side or can they take advantage of this set piece? Gav Masio. Ball comes inside and overcooked. McKenley. Ball sent inside at the penalty. Inside the penalty area and came. Fogaro did well too. I brought the danger. Yeah. Wheatley a bit tentative for me. Should have just come and collected that. I was very unsure about his six yard area. Gav Masio building again and McKenley is on it. Just running some traffic on that occasion. Trying to stick to the basics Fogaro. That was lovely skill. Really and truly it was. And he was brought down. He had to be brought down after that I suppose. And he's our player to watch Nefar Brooks. They're number ten Fogaro. Jared Morricidi is downstairs. He has a report for us Jared. And I know that you and Chris were having a little bit of discussion about what caused that force change cross coming off. Of course you know he was in some car trouble but after some conversation with the coach it was because of a growing injury. He was actually complaining of discomfort in his groin. And that's what made the coach make the change. So yeah no car trouble. Coach is not worried about that. Rather it was an injury to the player that made him come off. I reckon that he would have gotten that injury as he was chasing Clark. The same incident in which he was lucky to not receive a second yellow card. So might be a blessing in disguise. Unfortunately the injury but it was a red card waiting to happen. Fogaro to the corner kick. Keeper comes up. Couldn't get here. The header is wide you know. It's the captain who was there. And he is disgusted with himself for not converting Brady Reed. Rose Weld did Reed. Nice delivery into the area. Telling ball. Disappointed not to hit the target. Oh and you had to the ball hit him didn't didn't. Kept his eyes on it but glanced off the side of his head. Nice piece though from Fogaro. Yeah. Only scored four goals so far this season. Fogaro. Oh love the ball forward. Mondal is there. Mondal playing it back. And the ball inside and it goes out into touch for a ball kick or a corner kick rather. There was a deflection there as if the piece wasn't small enough. That's a glance in blow. Corner kick. Let's go back to the action. Corner corner kick. God must see us sending this one inside and Fogaro would high. Finding it difficult to clear. Four videographers do work very hard in trying to get every vantage point for our viewers.

Clock giving chase. When that boy is having fun he has real fun. Clear clock and he does play some beautiful football too. Robinson McIntosh. Being patient Garvey must be as smart as well. Fogaro is sitting deep behind the ball just trying to pull them out of position and then the pass over the top. Flag going up. Blake is back here intercepting. This parish of Clarendon has produced the most the Costa Cop winners 24 titles out of 66 have come from the parish of Clarendon. Garvey Moseo have two of them. Clarendon College are the defending champions. So always a tough two groups involving Clarendon parishes Clarendon teams. Yeah. Very very tough. Porous has come across in this group from Manchester. Good luck. And they've had proper hideings already this season. And they're actually in the parish of Manchester. Yep. In the Glenmure group in particular. But they have come across to Clarendon. That's a point I'm making. Yeah. One of the Clarendon groups does not this one. Yeah. Very strong parish. Couldn't quite keep that one in play. Got a smack to the face there and we'll get some treatment. Lots of support here. Excellent to see Fogaroad girls supporting their team. Fourth place they sit currently. Just one win from their four games a draw and two losses. Since last season their team doing pretty well. Third in the group they're best showing in the 2022 season. And they were one much win away from qualifying for the second round. Garvey Moseo front runners in this group. But you'd like to think that some favourable results on Fogaroad could put pressure on Vera who currently is in second with nine points. And Kemsil who are in third on five. Fogaroad have only played in the Costa Cups since 2012. Played for two seasons. And then took a play for three seasons and then took a two-year break. Then returned in 2018. But yeah 2022 they're best. What can they do with this attack Fogaroad? Garvey Moseo with interception. Mondal. Sinclair. Clark operating deep now. Trying to switch the play. Somehow it went through. A bit of miscommunication there. Mentioned that Fogaroad 16 years in existence. Sat down with 232 students in nine classes and 19 members of staff. So would have been sharing space on the Knox Quinty Colleges campus as well. But they have grown in stature since then. They've already made a name in school sports. Fogaroad. Especially in track and field. Garvey Moseo on the prowl here. Mondal. Being challenged. Last 12. Mondal. That was a good tackle. Go kick. Just having a look down on this. Actually three groups representing the Parish of Clarendon. H, L and M. The Zones. Clint Muir. The front runners in one of the groups. Clarendon College in the other. And Garvey Moseo here. In this group. As we said 24 of 66 titles from the Parish of Clarendon. Next best. Saint James with 15 just to show you. Parish of Saint James. Most of those titles of course would have gone to one Cornell College. Twelve of them. Yep. Herbert Morrison have two. And Saint James high one. Inside. Hopeful ball looking for heels. Clock playing in a more central role now. Garvey Moseo in control of this one. Taking their time out of the process. That's the end of the first half. Well, just one moment. A set piece of free kick. Scored by Clare Clark is seventh this season. The same man who scored the first time these two teams met this season. He was a difference maker then. Just the one goal it goal in it on that occasion. And just the one goal in it so far. At Foga Road High. Who would consider themselves to very much still be in this contest. It's still a contest after 45 minutes. But Garvey Moseo with the advantage by a goal to nil. On the home of champions on Sports Max two in particular. The UEFA Champions League Tuesday afternoon two o'clock. Three PM ECT Napoli. We'll take on Real Madrid and RC Lons on Tuesday. We'll do battle with Arsenal. That's going to be on Sports Max two PM three PM ECT as well. Foga Road High. Garvey Moseo leading the home team by a goal to nil. And the second half is set to get on the way in just a few minutes time but it's been mostly Garvey Moseo. They have taken the one opportunity and it was a set piece that I reckon should have been saved by the Foga Road High custodian Jamon Wheatley. Fun enough he's about to make an exit. Wheatley and he's going to be replaced by Laquan Ellington. Cristela is still with me in the commentary box. We'll hear thoughts from him in just a little while but certainly as as far as the change is concerned. I am a little bit surprised with them taking out Wheatley here. The mistake obviously proving costly giving Garvey Moseo high the advantage but it may be a case of another groin injury that was picked up which would have been the second case of groin injury forcing a change by Foga Road High with Jave Cross being taken out during that first half. So the second half is about to get on the way of Foga Road High to get the action and we're off. Always love to hear the new anthem of the Issa Schoolboy football season. Foga Road High they are known to be stubborn. Let's see what progress they can make. Brady Reed looking for the return didn't go his way. Daily. McGee just to confirm the change with Ellington now between the sticks replacing Wheatley. Mundell. Williams. Ball over the top is wonderful. An opportunity for Thompson. Can he finish? It's finished wide. He got the first opportunity of the first half for Garvey Moseo Thompson and he gets the first opportunity of the second and he shot wayward again. Two defenders after him. Short good strength but yeah skewing that wide. Didn't wrap his foot around that one. A nice pass over the top. Going in from McKinnon it looked like again. They're number three. Really good range of passing the Garvey Moseo number three and it was on show again. Garvey Moseo still very much in first gear as far as this game is concerned. Yeah, lots of teachers here supporting the Foga Road team as well. It's it's really good support. Their principal there he is or at Wallace. Mr. Wallace talking to the president of the JFF who is a Clarennan man himself. Michael Ricketts. And had affiliations with Garvey Moseo too. Yeah, chairman of the school board for some time. Chance for Garvey Moseo here and Foga Road doing enough. Plays down. Two players. Was there a head collision? Maybe. So often we see principals and teachers around supporting the boys. A lot of the students here as well. Good to see all right Wallace in his purple. Decided to get rid of the tie, take off the suit and sport the colors of his school. This was a collision. Yeah, it was nasty. Just in that soft area. Yeah, an uppercut almost. It's going to hurt tomorrow more, I think. Very common in those kind of scenarios for a cut to emerge from the front of the face. They're very soft. That area can bleed a lot. Usually a player that gets a hit in the back of the head comes off without a cut more times than not. Although that tends to be a little bit more dangerous, I think. Yeah, I think you prefer where the nerves are. Yeah. But you You'd rather see blood, right? I don't know. Well, I think that's not seen and it's internal. It's it's really a cause of speculation. Yes, right. I get what you meant by that statement. When you can see it, you feel that, you know, you can better address it. Yeah. The Cubans traveling as well to support their team. Not that far away. Obviously. Garvey must hear just a bit further south. Maybe a ten minute drive. And just for the viewers who have no idea what we're talking about. Cubans just a nickname. They don't necessarily come from Cuba. So, when you say that they are they are not coming from far. It could have been the Cubans as well. But in this case, literally 10, 15 minutes away. The school, of course, was built by the Cubans was a gift, I believe. Hence the name. Hence the name. Not the only school, by the way. Mm hmm. Jose Marti, another. GC Foster College also built by the Cubans. Two secondary level. One tertiary level. It didn't actually come off Donald. But that's one of the things I wanted to see from Fogart in the second half. Involve their midfield a bit more. Instead of just these long passes from defense hopeful to the forward line, they really haven't gotten anything going there. Total dominance by Garvey must be in the middle of the park. Only one goal in it probably probably should have been more. I think this could be a really good team for next season. So many of your players are are really young. Fogart High. Providing that they are not taken. But if this lot stay together, they do have the ambition to create further trouble. Yeah, last year, they would have finished third in the group and hopes are pretty high. But even a few of us would have been surprised with their journey last year. But that's a wonderful ball inside the box. Can they finish? Surely, straight to the keeper. He hits it straight to the keeper, Neon Clark. Lovely move. No surprise that Brooks had a big deal to do with it. Now it goes the other way. And Clio Clark couldn't quite get it. That was close for Fogart High, wasn't it? Good work on the left by Brooks. Scrumptious ball inside here and Clark maybe had too much time. Thought about it. He took too long. Yeah. Took too long. How did he take the shot earlier? He could have gone far post with the strike and had lots of space. But he took a touch and all of a sudden a couple of defenders were in front of him as well. It's the second time that Fogart have opened up Garvin Mocio from the wide eras. No surprise this man, their player to watch Brooks. Well, here he is again. A big part of it. Brooks. Delightful ball inside and the header is wide. Brooks was bewitching on the left, providing a wonderful ball again inside the box. But how have they not scored there? Neon Clark, it looked like with a finish. Brooks, lovely delivery. No, actually it was their number nine. Hales. Jevon Hales, who's already scored one so far this season of their four goals. That should have been his second of the season. Hard into the ground and over the top. Well, it looked like he closed his eyes there. Did Jevon Hales? Well, to be fair, he could have. Again, Brooks in the thick of things, one of the survivors from last season. Yeah. A goal and an assist so far this season for Brooks. Same there. They had a good little team that could do well next year, but on the back of that come in two big chances. Their main attacking threat from last season and MVP, Chadrick Wolcott, no longer in the squad, in the team at the school. This one was ambitious to say the least. That was a clearance. Worrying signs though, it must be said for Merron Gordon. Not much in the build-up of those attacks and yet his defense opened up and had it been better finishing, he might have been down to one. They're lacking a little bit of ambition and imagination when they're in the attacking third so far in this second half. Can they manufacture something now? No, they cannot. Thompson going to keep that one in play. Sinclair kept it in play. Clear clock on it. Clock is heading to the byline and didn't have a lot of room to work with. The results not what he wanted. That was the best distribution. Thompson on it had a glimpse up and saw that Mundell and Clark were waiting. Subwarming up for Gav Masio. And you could hear coming through the microphones there. Clear clock not happy with the service on that occasion. Coming in from Thompson was saying to him why not choose the easier method and use the inside of your foot to square the ball, to cross the ball. Instead of his in step went horribly wrong for number nine. Thompson remains down to but play continues to Gav Masio with ten players at the moment for a free same play on and so they do. Gav Masio this is Devon McIntosh. No way. There's Thompson still on the park you know and he's been told to slide off. You know actually he he's now replaced. Yeah O'Brien coming on for him. O'Marian O'Brien two changes for Gav Masio. Jehim need a man for Devon McIntosh. Trying to send the ball out why but was caught in the following through and a you know card is being brandished to really read and I'm not sure why if I'm to be honest because unless he did something afterwards that we couldn't spot let's take a look at it again. I'll leave it to you Cristela because I'm not sure exactly where he was expected to go in the aftermath of that. Delton Brooks. Yeah so the captain in the book could only have been the follow-through but I must say he was clearing the ball and I'm not sure what Williams was trying to achieve by just charging into him and brought the tackle on himself. Flag will go for offside here easy call but a bad crowd in here at Fogarote High as a players get some refreshments really love to be really lovely to be here at Fogarote High and just the environment on a school day just brilliant to soak in. Gerard Morrisili has been around the area and he's been speaking to the locals and we'll hear from him just a little while as he tells us well he's been around the area around the school so to speak so Gerard what have you been hearing? Thank us a lot Donald of course yeah we have been a bit of a chat with some of the locals around here as you mentioned before and I learned a lot about this school particularly Fogarote High now you can see that there are a lot of walls around here in this Fogarote community now this is that's because this was supposed to be a stadium initially the building plan the building plans where we are standing right here watching this football this was supposed to be a stadium however that was under the PNP government back in the 1970s in 1980 when the JLP took over of course the Cubans then being declared persona no grata and they were sent back to Cuba which halted the process as you can see it's great over here I'll let you take over from this Donald yeah so that opportunity goes a begging but yeah that was supposed to this was supposed to be a stadium that's why you can see the wall around us however the school concept came about when the Fogarote community members wanted another secondary school option for the tons of primary school children that leave the vicinity they would have only had Denby High Glenmure came so further down the road and Gavi must say of course to choose from but then the Fogarote option came into play giving them another chance to get to another school of course for the plethora of primary school students around here and then this ground this area this entire land spot which used to be a factory and produced a lot of manufacturing goods that became this became the perfect place for them to build this Fogarote high school so that is how we came about and this is why we're here the first time of course we are broadcasting any type of the classical football from this this venue and that history lesson was brought to you courtesy of Gerard Marisili thanks Gerard yeah that first when it first opened a little under 300 students were enrolled but it is a wonderful community and as I said they've been making their name more and more in in sports at the it's a level of course and in track and field in particular governments are looking for a second here kept alive but easily nodded away that's a magnificent turn wonderful stuff try to supply the pass why not a shot from O'Brien there good skill to cut in on to the left hand side had lots of space to shoot look at how he turned beautiful then a skill to cut in it's got to be shooting there though pass certainly wasn't on O'Brien Galshye camp still they've had well Fogarote high they've had a couple of opportunities in the second half and I think governments here they've been fortunate a couple of slip-ups at the back and composure letting down Fogarote high but they're still in it I feel they're still in it governments will be very lucky if they just win by the the odd goal free kick to Fogarote high yeah Merron Gordon busy on his bench he's already made two substitutions maybe some more ball punted to the edge of the box headed away it's an ambitious pass from Clarke yeah looking for O'Brien Fogarote doing a much better job in this second half committing more players forward that's the way well Brooks inside or outside to Nevar Brooks Brooks and Brooks Delton to Nevar well there is going to be another pause the official water break is here and the players will refresh themselves always interesting to hear what they say the coaches to their players as they try to make the next move Camcil of course trailing the team in yellow by I keep on saying Camcil Fogarote trailing the team in yellow by a golden ill anxious for a Camcil game you might get your wish later on yeah we may just get it of course the Brooks on the field for Fogarote hide their brothers with the captain the younger of the two yeah Delton clear to watch the older brother here's Delton the younger of the two nice link up player about 30 seconds ago and the big brother providing the best chance for Fogarote in the second half we can't say that Fogarote have created the biggest chances in this game well yeah I mean there was a chance for Thompson the first chance of the game inside the area which he went for the acrobatic finish and it went over the top but apart from that but I still maintain the biggest chances I've gone before the road all those chances have come in the second half indeed a much better performance by the team in purple still can't find a goal though goals have been hard to come by for Fogarote just four in four games and still they're looking for one in their fifth but they're definitely an improving school you look back to 2012 their first year in the Dacosta Cup Gavi Maccio destroyed them by four goals to nil and then you think of their last match early this season in September just a one-nil victory and then look at this one as well as you said Fogarote have had the better opportunity could easily have been to one Fogarote here in the second half easily so yeah they have gone down four in a couple of times to Gavi Maccio so and they haven't registered a win no in recent times or even a draw now seven from seven for Gavi Maccio over the last 11 years but here's Fogarote getting the better of the chances in the second half getting a little bit more possession as well in the second half in fact I'll go further to say that this is the eighth match between these two teams and Fogarote have only managed to score once while conceding 17 all tall almost perfect forced a little bit wide though Clark lovely stuff magnificent almost scooted wide did it skim the upright it did looking to bend it into the far corner intelligent play by Clio strong on the left hand side off the upright just see it here yeah just shave the outside of it go keep it exposed two inches to the right and it would have been a goal Gavi Maccio just reminding Fogarote high of their quality almost went through O'Brien almost got it need him inside Williams sends it across to Robinson trying to switch the play good defensive header away need him ball touched inside the whistle goes and the call went against Mundell I believe just on the edge of the area calm and composed until that final pass but they do get it again this is Reed lovely stuff for they give a possession too easily but they'll get it back and Reed has it poked forward Brooks trying to turn it the other way strong interception Brooks did enough on that occasion didn't he well even referee Okita Nicholson was wondering what happened there Gavi Maccio player is down play continues though well he totally misread that and Mundell is through Mundell moving away from the challenges and trying to thread that through to clear Clark O'Brien though trying to win it back but couldn't lost it to Gavi Maccio don't mind starting it again from the back changes in the back line for Gavi Maccio this season as well no sure we in Thomas was their main man in defense was a cricketer as well right yeah his brother and also the brother of of for Shane Thomas yep West in this cricketer fastballer showing a fastballer in his own right snow lift high school but yeah he was a main man in the back line solid back line they had as well Gavi Maccio yeah Manic Robinson who's one of your centre backs that was in the central midfield role last season as well in the Holy Midfield area now asked to be one of the centre backs this season as Gavi Maccio coming forward through Needham looking for the 1-2 gets it back Needham forcing the shot away and there wasn't a lot of power behind it other the Costa Cup matches going on McGraw and Dinty locked at one apiece Tenby leading porous by five goals to nil I'm sure Dunstin Cohen must have been amongst those goals one of the leading goal scores in the schoolboy competition this season at halftime Black River lead Mannins by a goal to nil Mannins finalists in 2021 semi-finalists in 2022 Black River making a match of it here's Gavi Maccio looking for a second and that pass was a little bit disappointing may have hurt himself in the process he's going to require some attention now I think he was holding the back of his knee there let's go down his Nevar Brooks Merringard goes to the bench again another double change Christopher Mondl his time is up as his number goes up Conroy Williams as well yeah Ronaldinho Douglas comes on and so to Evrol Swayby and came still also making a Fogarote if I say came still one more time I don't understand do they we are purple as well must have been a dream Fogarote high yeah they do we're red and blue which if you put together forms go on Fogarote high with a double change as well if came still is not on the fixture this season they certainly have to be inserted now or maybe I should say another came still game there was a came still fear fixture which we did already this season yeah yes yes we did did you call that game I did call that game actually it's a long lasting memory is it came still actually currently sits third in this group behind Vir and Gavi Macio one of the things that came on for Fogarote high we're going to confirm in just a little while Antonio Dabi one of the attacking midfielders yeah already has an assist this season Dabi where's the number 15 trying to win the ball there's Dabi puts in the tackle ball played over to that far side and Hale's trying to keep that one in place he's now gone out wide to accommodate Armstrong Armstrong who was moved you know in a more central area yeah Anthony Armstrong one of the goal scorers this season for Fogarote goals rare for them he has one of them the number six they certainly need goals I've had a couple really good opportunities in the second half and they haven't made it count you just have to against teams of the caliber of Gavi Macio who are the group leaders as well well here is Gavi Macio trying to progress but unable to do so he's in an outside position but the ball didn't reach him Nevar Brooks and the flag goes up again this time against Gavi Macio and let's take a look at the sports max at moment of the game courtesy of the sports max app of course and the goal in this one clear clock with the free kick people would be a little disappointed that he was able to push that one around the post but Clark getting his seventh of the season and that's a sports max at moment of the game courtesy of the sports max app reminding you that schoolboy football is free on the sports max app on sports max plus we know many of you have the premium plan but you can tell a friend that they can download the sports max app click on sports max plus and watch schoolboy football action from Jamaica free of charge well here's an opportunity now with Reed trying to play that one inside it's a chance here and what a challenge wonderful challenge here and Fogaro's opportunity gone Robinson with the challenge he's put in a shift today I believe Malik Robinson you better believe it McGee here's Robinson again there's Fogaro again trying to go through the gears here ball played up field she started a bit too much on it yeah I'm not sure why he didn't turn had clear clock with him decided to go away look at this challenge here from Robinson kept his hand above let's look at his eyes that's a brilliant challenge by Robinson he was certainly exposed and so was his goalkeeper yep Javon Hills yep he was bearing down Javon Hills excellent from Robinson opportunity for got me so oh wonderful stuff but just losing it at the very end it's it's a little things going against Fogaro at times Nevar Brooks has it has some help hails with the shot and again not a lot of power behind it there was a clip though you know did look towards the referee thought he was fouled I'm not sure if the thought process was that there was a touch delton Brooks deciding to go back to his back line there's a handle ball there ball played through read as I said it's a little things look just not on their side ready read they are not able to control it crowd see the funny side of things but again that ball over the top causing problems for Garvin was saying this second half Brooks was chasing it as well but decided to leave it for read and well read left it alone himself another change for Garvin Marseille Livingston Donaldson comes on for Anthony Sinclair just trying to shore up the middle of the pot Maren Gordon ball played through that's a lovely first touch the shot left a lot to be desired but the first touch was wonderful Garvin Marseille too much on it just manages to keep it in play but it'll go the other way Fogaroad switching it read cutting that one back into traffic and Garvin Marseille trying to win it back oh that's wonderful the turn from Brooks yeah can't find a purple shirt though five minutes of stoppage is done still time for Fogaroad Garvin Marseille of course will be looking for the killer blow this may be it clock ball played inside Garvin Marseille couldn't quite maneuver it he mentioned clock he must be in the run-ins for the MVP probably the man on top of the list at this point the difference maker so far here he goes again trying to thread that one through he's had quite a few of the best opportunities that would be a booking or will it it will but they'll go back to that as he tried to play the advantage here is a shot from distance three to the goalkeeper no issues therefore Frismar Maxwell well the yellow card wasn't actually shown was it no but I'm sure when once the ball goes out to play live instant Donaldson will pick it up oh that's lovely and uh the shot from distance again not a lot of power behind from Omari and O'Brien Ellington knows look more confident than Wheatley between the sticks hasn't been tested much but it doesn't look nervous at all when the ball is coming to him Fogaroad can they get a goal in the final few minutes of this one searching ball for Claire Clark who is offside it's actually O'Brien on that left hand side yes O'Brien it is on that left there's a yellow card Donaldson probably thought he had escaped it not to be Jevon Hills exits the arena replaced by Joshane Dyer in stoppage time lovely speed but then going into a bit of traffic less than two minutes to go flag goes up for offside easy call delivering that one inside the area Fogaroad having difficulty to clear that's a foul yeah at this point you think Gavin Masio with their experience has probably eased the threat of Fogaroad let's see majority of the possession for them and having a ball in an attacking position mostly clear Clark has definitely been the best player on the park for Gavin Masio Robinson a couple telling tackles they're number five but overall over the 90 minutes clear Clark his goal as well as the opportunities he created and probably should have finished a couple more been the best player for the Cubans handled ball against Omari and O'Brien last chance to loon possibly do they have enough time for Fogaroad they need they need to commit more bodies up couldn't find a purple shirt again and Gavin Masio they have it and the ball is over the top and the question is can they finish well the game is finished and they have done enough Gavin Masio have to work hard especially in that second half but clear Clark's goal in the first stands of this game proving to be the difference between the teams in our first televised match from Fogaroad Fogaroad high school they would be relatively pleased with their performances they had the opportunities especially especially in that second half had a couple of big moments but could not convert but it's an institution that's growing in stature especially at the schoolboy football level and they were not ashamed at the end of it all here Gavin Masio with the victory by one goal to nil so the full match highlights Gavin Masio the visitors in their full yellow on the front for Turley Christopher Mundell into the area Delana Thompson the chance to finish couldn't hit the target they're number nine went for the acrobatic finish and kicked underneath the ball over the top clear Clark got in his stride then produced this kind of skill just needed a better finish here to keep it under the crossbar but lovely how he created space and the opportunity for himself whoops onto the right hand side and the shot a bit disappointing from the leading goal scorer of Gavin Masio a strike from way out over the top from Robinson and then this free kick with the left foot clear Clark seventh of the season second against Fogo road this season into the back of the net weekly not across in time and that came after 21 minutes this beautiful crossfield pass by McKinley they're number three and the first touch from clear Clark was very good then the strike on target and weakly got enough on it just to point over the bar Fogo road they created an opportunity for themselves probably the only one in that first half but couldn't hit the target they had zero shots on target after the first half that one from Brady Reed and he just couldn't get it done then the start of the second half and they had two really good chances this the first and it was cut down Brooks into the area nice pass it was from Brooks and just took too long with the finish did Neon Clark and eventually the chance went then Brooks again on the left hand side this time decided to deliver with the right boot look at that for a ball and what a miss it was very disappointing Fogo road could easily have been two and up within 10 minutes of the second half it was not to be clear Clark the best play on show today using his skill off the upright looking to bend it into the far corner the right decision from a man who's played at the Premier League level with Cavalier Cleo Clark and it was enough his goal for three points so yeah five shots on target from their 14 attempts for Garvey Moseo the two-time champions it was enough against the home team Fogo road who just had two shots on target both coming in the second half but not good enough not able to penetrate the goal of Garvey Moseo only one goal they have managed in eight attempts against Garvey Moseo they had four saves two corners as well Fogo road the majority of the position went to Garvey Moseo and all the goals here at Fogo road high one nil Garvey Moseo after 90 minutes they confirmed their position at top of the group let's hear from a water player of the match who is with Gerard none other than Cleo Clark the captain thank you so much Chris yeah Cleo Clark the water man of the match belt I hand him the trophy congratulations to you Cleo yeah and let me just ask you quickly though how much would you rate this performance out of 10 I would rate it eight percent eight percent the minute you did see though that you had a few chances that you would have created of course you were satisfied with the goal that you would have gotten but if you look back at the chances you created what would you have done differently to ensure that you scored more well um I think I have more space in the ball could have bring it further I'm pick a better angle yeah you have 42 goals now in your schoolboy football career how happy are you with that and how far are you looking to get well um I'm pretty happy because I'm can say I'm in the book in the book because I have 42 goals in my undercut stack up I think I can bring it further this season how far do you think you can bring it a lot all right Cleo congratulations to you well congratulations on the win as well so that was Cleo Clark the water player of the matches here now from the coach of Fogger Road coach not the result you would have wanted though but when you look back at how your team would have played today how good was it it was fairly good I think our goalkeeper made laps and um cost us a one goal however we weren't brave enough if we were just a little bit braver we could have gotten something out of this goal this game we created quite a few um quality chances that we should have at least scored one today yeah you would have been forced to change keepers what do you think about that substitution how did that work in your favor well the two changes you know we have quality players on the bench so it wasn't as if we're sending out a weaker team with the change because those players are quality players the goalkeepers kept like the first two games for us and he did extremely well so it's just that he went on last week with the flow so we just gave the other keeper another game today but both goalkeepers are good goalkeepers so we weren't worrying just that one got injured so pull him out and put in the other all right coach one more quickly you have three more games remaining in the first round how do you go from here well we are just focusing on the next game and at three points in the next game is a most for us if we are thinking about qualifying for the for the next round I mean this one is a competitive zone anybody can win on any day so we really have to just focus on ourselves and if we are able to win the next game we move on from there without even thinking about the final two games all right coach thank you so much and hard luck today hey man you're most welcome yeah that was a coach from Fogaro now we have a chat with man Gordon as he embraces his opponent coach Gordon 1-0 of course at the start of the game you would have said that you would have wanted a better result but are you satisfied with the three points definitely every coach will be satisfied with three points but I think Fogaro that had a very very good second half they came out you know but when you're just leading my goal especially in a current game you know it's going to be always tough I think they did much better than us in second half they're more direct than us second half they're more purposeful than us in the second half I think we we adapted to their game and I think that was what's our downfall first half I think we have a little bit more control over the game second half we allowed Fogaro to impose what they want on us and I think they did well but we're really happy for the three points yeah do you think that you're able to create enough chances in this game though yeah when you're playing a game like this you have to try winning from first half you know and I think we created a number of chances in the first half where we should have one game but you know such is a game these are youngsters and I'm really proud of them I think a captain today really led from front with how we played got a few chances that I think he should have buried you know with a player a player of his standard but we're happy for the three points happy for the team effort I will just move on yeah you moved to 15 points now very close to qualifying for the second round to 13 points rather they're very close behind you but do you think that's always going to stay now from here on in just three games remain yeah man I think that game that we drew against Kemcil really was was was our turning point in terms of letting the game get it in the table be very close but in this in this parish though you know any team can turn up and play I always say that you have teams in this parish who don't come out of the round which I think they would have probably win a different group you know is that is a tough place to play it's very good for the boys very competitive and I really love what today look like I think you know it wasn't a walk over for anyone for us you know it was very very tough for us Fogarot really did well all right of course thank you so much and well done today yeah man thank you thanks for having me so just the result here Gav Masil 1-0 away to Fogarot and well they pick up another three points here Gav Masil they're still top of zone M having played five matches winning four drawing one they're on 13 points Vir in second spot they've played a game less there are nine points and Kemsil they are on five points
