 We are live from Red Hills Road as we are at the Calabar High School preparing for Issa Manicup action. Another look at the group of death in the Manicup and the two teams will show their skills once again. Charlotte Smith High against Kingston College who are top of the zone here. Thank you so much for joining our coverage here on the Home of Champions. My name is Donald Oliver. I'm hanging out with Chris Taylor and as the teams line up over on the far side eager to do battle. We'll hear the thoughts of my analyst for the afternoon. Just want to know what do you think about these two teams squaring up with each other in such a competitive group? Yeah, very competitive group as well and there's been some exciting matchups over time. One that the purples have dominated four wins out of some what nine games between the two teams. Also one win for Charlotte Smith in recent time and it came back in 2012 but I guess that's not that recent. That one-nil victory. But yeah, Charlotte Smith looked a strong team this year. Kingston College probably not as strong as we'd have seen them last year and previous years but they are on top of the group of course benefiting from three points as well which they gained against Heidel even though they went down four goals to nil in that match. The first game of the season it was for them. Many people would have seen that result and would have said you know I don't think Kingston College would be going this far. Are you surprised that they are now top of the group? Well I'm surprised that they are top of the group because I'm surprised that Heidel used an ineligible player. Or ineligible player as I should say, yeah. So yeah, from that perspective it's a bit of a surprise. I didn't see Kingston College being on top of the group. I'm not necessarily sure that they will stay there but kudos to them for benefiting on that kind of scenario and it's something that in the last couple seasons have been disappointing for me, Donald, that obviously schools not following the rules or not reading the rules enough to follow the guidelines accordingly. And really and truly at the end of it all it's the youngsters that are suffering. They're not the ones making that decision but they're the ones suffering at the hands of bad administrative decisions. But yeah, that being said KCR here important match this because as you said this is a group of death and very difficult group to come out of it. Of course Calabar involved as well, Heidel who we'll see later on and no more than three teams to go through from this group to for sure. Robert Soh of course would have seen him last year a veteran in this Kingston College squad. Of course he wears a captain's armband, the one on the left. And of course Daniel Klock, the number 10 for Chadd Smith is the skipper of the team. The officials greet each other and they just have some last words. Dear Cavill Benton of course is the man in charge of this afternoon's matchup. Yeah, Andre Smith, German page is assistant. And of course Omar Heinz, the fourth official. Chadd Smith and they're starting line of sees Deontay, Gary and Goal. Kevon Gale, Reese Clayton, Trevon, lower part of the backline. Stephen Emmanuel, Michael Smith, Kevin Richardson, Jamode Duane in the middle of the park and up top Daniel Clark and Deontay Stevenson on the wings, supporting their strikeup, Rayquan Stoney. He scored three goals so far. Three four three, the regular Charlie Smith formation. It would be no different today. Stoney with three goals, Pringle with two. And they look to rectify that blank that they recorded against Calabar. Malik Williams, of course, is between the sticks for Kingston College. Raje Ziminiz, Robert Siao, O'Neill Bryan and Kamal Patterson, the back four in the middle of the park. Dejaun Green has been asked to play in the holding role for KSC. Kajiye Fletcher and Jaheem McLean will join him in the middle of the park, in the middle of the park. Alex Hislop on the left with four goals to his name so far. The 13 year old Kelvin Brown, who scored a wonderful goal in that last televised matchup, is on the right hand side. Dejaun Bifield, of course, is the centre forward. And we're looking to see Kingston College playing some attractive football again this afternoon. Well, Brown was actually running up his goal in terms of goal of the week. Four, three, three is what KSC will play. And yeah, Hislop and Dele, Dele scoring a hat trick against Penwood as well, has four goals, both of them. So we're on the way here at Calabar High. Just to tell those in television land that what we have heard from the administrators here at Calabar is that the well has been down for the last several weeks. Hence the state of the field at the moment. I can tell you that in preseason, it was in much better conditions, but they've been having some gremlins in their water system and that being down over the last few weeks, the state of the field, which is a disappointment for all concerned, including the administrators here at Calabar High. But the thing about it is that both teams were playing on the same surface, so really there is no excuse to be had. You mentioned gremlin. Had you ever watched that movie in the eighties? It was certainly nothing good to look at. So I like that term. Yeah. And yeah, good description because it is very dry here. And yeah, we've seen it in much better condition over time. During the summer, it was magnificent action early summer. So Kingston College, trying to go through the gears here, trying to switch to play Jaheem McLean, who's decided to come deep in the early parts of this match. It's a very young team. According to Vassar Reynolds, it's an average age of about 15 years. As we take a look at Eugene Williams, the man in charge at Charles Smith, the heart and soul of the institution. Former Manning Cup winner with Charles Smith. Yeah, captain as well. Yeah, back in 1988, the first title it was for Charles Smith, their first of three. 1988, 1990 and 1995. Well, here's your present captain now in clock, trying to get the ball inside here and support him for his team. And there is the aforementioned Vassar Reynolds was in speaking positively about his team in recent weeks. The majority of the players in this squad can play in the under 16 Coles competition. Has had a big impact that all the schools he's gone to Vassar Reynolds has been a coach in the Manning Cup, as well as in the DeCosta Cup, took receives to the title in 2017, almost to the Champions Cup a couple of years before or the year before that in 2016, I make it and was a part of that 2012 Heidel team that went to the final on the Jeffrey Maxwell. Immanuel with a kick inside the area, trying to turn that one goal where it's couldn't quite wrap his foot around it. Jamal into any and it went wide of the mark. We do hope as well that the reins stay away overcast conditions. And we've had some some showers in recent days, weeks here in Kingston. The field is so dry, though. You wonder if they're no, no, it was obviously ignored here. I'm kidding. They actually had some rain, but as far as this field is concerned, it's patched. Yeah. McLean again, picking it up deep. Charles was trying to go the other way on successful at the moment over on the far side is O'Neill Bryan, providing the block for Kingston College. Ball played inside the area, looking for his captain Clark, who was waiting to crack that one on the volley one suspects. Waiting in vain. Well, here's Clark again. Ambitious effort from distance on that occasion from Kevin Richards, but that clearance did some damage. Literally went on the ambulance. Doing it with the throw, Charles Smith, showing a lot of intent in the first few minutes of this game, trying to turn finding it difficult, almost for this captain there on that occasion, the Anthony Stephenson ball switched over now to the left hand side from Gale finding or trying to find Emmanuel will end up taking the throw himself. Emmanuel, did he remain on side? Well, couldn't keep that one in play. Yeah. Good to see Charlie Smith pressing or making the initiative early. Six goals so far this season for Charlie Smith. They sit in fourth position in zone a tough result against Calabar last time out at the Anthony Spalding sports complex at home. Charlie Smith, they lost by three goals to nil. They need a good result here. This will be a very is and will be a very difficult group. I was a little bit surprised by that result of the Anthony Spalding sports complex. Didn't expect that scoreline at all. Yeah, they played in patches. You just saw Stoney there of Charles Smith. He was isolated on quite a few occasions, couldn't quite get on the ball as much as he wanted. And he's, of course, their danger player. In fact, the entire game, I only remember a shot from Stoney. Yeah, and that was some time. Yeah, in the second half, yeah, three goal man this season. And of course, it's a whole match for them on the books. Well, yeah, so they'll be missing that type of support that they would have received inside Arnett Gardens. And didn't they have a lot of support at Arnett Gardens last time out? Critics would say it probably doesn't matter. But critical, the cynical ones, I should say. Yeah, let's see how Calabar performed later at home. But Calabar in that match really played well. And you thought to yourself, where was Calabar in their previous encounter, where they lost by a goal to nil? Far from that kind of performance and consistency, but they certainly look good against Charlie Smith and they had to. Kingston College, what can they do with this attack? Trying to launch that one inside the area. Nobody able to pounce at the top of the box, but they do win it back just outside and trying to turn and couldn't on that occasion, Jaheem McLean. He's one of their danger players. Good header by McLean, picked up well, both played out wide. That's Kelvin Brown over on that far side. The former Naga Head primary track star who has scored a brilliant goal so far this season, the 13-year-old Kelvin Brown. Foul through. Well, haven't seen that in a minute. Kingston College officially yet to concede this season. Twenty goals for none against from their four matches and a perfect 12 points. His love, cutting inside, thinking of a shot. It goes high and our videographer almost in danger there. The KC massive, not quite massive this afternoon, but they go where the team goes. Funnily enough, they are at the home of their arch rivals in sports overall. The rivalry with Kingston College and Calabar high is absolutely unparalleled, especially in track and field and a champs every year. Charlie Smith with it, trying to get the ball across and they actually do. Clock sends this one inside. Nobody there quite attacking it, but still an opportunity here. And it goes, well, it almost went through. Kingston College, they finally clear their lines and the foot races on here needs to be the final defender. Does he have support? Brown is waiting on it. What a block that is and the clearance is made. Well, abuse for handball as well. Carvel Bunton says no. I think it hit him in the face, you know. It probably did. Look at this. Brown was just roaring in at the back post. Brown did well because it was an awkward boss. Look at that for skill. That was magnificent, though, from Kelvin Brown again. Brilliant attempt by Kelvin Brown. The back heel, awkward bounce, made the most of it. And well, that was one of the saves of the tournament inadvertently. Yeah, good move by the 13-year-old, number 13. Yep, that's a damage. In the face. Yep, took it flush in the face. Michael Smith. Yep, did Michael Smith. It was a late change for Isaac Brown into the starting lineup for Eugene Williams. Was Michael Smith telling contribution already? He might not have done boxing in his young career, but might have gotten an idea of how it felt to take one in the left jab. I was really impressed by the speed of Brown over on that far side, though. But then again, he did do track and field. For a while, it was under the tutelage of Omar Wilby. And Nagahed Primary. The boy from Southboro has already made an impact in the Manning Cup. And almost made another big impact here, if that across the line. What size for just 13 years of age? Serious height for his age. Here's Casey on the prowl, sense inside the area. Looking for the spectacular, the back post, a complete miss kick there. Now Hislop sends this one inside and our whistle is on the play. Not sure exactly what took place there. Maybe an infringement, maybe a handled ball, who knows. What was sure was a miss kick from Hislop. Coming off the hat-trick against Penwood. Four goals in the season for their number 11. That scored in two of their four games so far, Alex Hislop. Squared the first goal against Campadon in that 2-0 win. And then the hat-trick. Overcooked on that occasion. Charles Smith, they managed to keep possession. Flag is off, we're offside though. Charles Smith looking to get another attack going. The game has pretty much slowed on to a prowl here as Dwayne takes the throw. Lovely turn by Clark. Decided to remain selfish though and take the shot from an accurate angle goes all. It's going to be difficult for him to hit the target and hit it well. Wasted opportunity using his strength well. O'Neill Bryan, Dwayne, a little bit too strong there, Dwayne, Patterson. But they're trying to shield and infringement on the play there. Well, Dick Cross the line is throwing to Kingston College. Ball played over to the left-hand side. It's a wonderful ball to Hislop. Has a defender in front of him and he read it all the way. Good work there by Dwayne. Clark trying to turn on Ziminiz was unsuccessful. And now McLean sends it over to the far side looking for Brown. Hislop trying to win that battle again. Lost out. Charles Smith in attack now. Oh, that's a crunching challenge coming in from O'Neill Bryan. Been on top of his game so far. The opening 18 minutes of this one. Yeah, both teams trying to adapt to the surface. Very hard surface here. So a lot of unusual bounces. Ball not necessarily rolling evenly. But yeah, that was a good challenge as well by Bryan. Quite a few balls as well, mis-controlled. So it gives opportunities or invites some of those tackles. Clark tried to turn. Gets the corner kick. Good control by Clark. We've seen him on either flank so far. This time working on the left hand side. Nice turn. This time onto the left foot. So shows his two-footed ability. Daniel Clark hasn't scored this season, but could start to the game for him. Steven Emanuel over on that far side to take this corner kick for Charles Smith. It's a good looking one. You know, that's headed away, served back inside. And another opportunity here by Clark. Well, wider than Mark. He's trying so very hard, the captain. A bit surprised that he didn't take a touch. Try to rush the shot. And I think he's quite disappointed with his effort as well, Clark. Ball over the top. Again, in hope more than anything else. Patterson putting it into touch. Green did well. Still with it. Here's Casey again trying to get the ball inside from over on that far side. Kachi Fletcher who's playing a little bit more central here. In this game. Last time we saw him was playing on the wing. On the wing. Fletcher ventured into an outside position. And the players will take a bit of a breather here for the water break. And this match hasn't quite slipped into second gear as yet. Chris Taylor. Still a lot we expect from these two teams, but Charles Smith, they know that they have to win it. In order for them to increase their percentage points and their chances of going through to the next round. Yeah, especially considering they currently sit in fourth position of a group that only the first two automatic, there will be four best third places. And the prediction already is that a third team will come from this group. And I believe it will for sure a third team from this, but they sit in fourth position. Charles Smith just six points from four games. And one of the tournament pre-tournament teams that were expected to go deep into the tournament this year with lots of work to do. Kingston College on top with 12 points. Calabar currently in second with nine. Heidel with six points, but a game in hand. And Charles Smith as well with six points. Campadon and Penwood complete the group. Campadon does three points from four games. And Penwood, well, yet to get off the mark. We've seen situations like this in almost every year of the Manicup in terms of there's this one strong group that you expect a third place team to come out of. And sometimes they go pretty far and deep in the competitions. Yes, agreed. Excited to see what the home team Calabar will bring in the in the second fixture as well, because their last match against Charles Smith, they look very good. Thorough All-In of the part played very well for the full 90 minutes. And very disciplined in their approach and clinical. So, yeah, with Heidel dropping points, of course, against KC based on the in the boardroom. It then means that a lot more teams involved because Heidel seemed like they were going to go away with this group, especially with that game against Penwood that is still left to be finished, which they currently lead 5-1 with not much time to go. That's almost a certain three points for them. So that would leave them in on nine points from four games. Heidel. And as I said, it just opened up the group a lot more. With them losing three points and Kingston College gaining three. I'm wondering if there's still doubt on Heidel's ambition this year in the aftermath of the ruling. And I guess the early answer is no, not really when you consider circumstances around that ruling and that the ineligible players only played in that game. And the latter part of that game against Kingston College in the first, the first type game of the season. So maybe they will be all right. Here's, was that a late challenge? A shot from distance goes over the top as well. But then my question to you, Donna, would be if you're leading comfortably, and obviously they were very comfortable against Kingston College, why take that chance? Well, so many questions that can be asked in surrounding the circumstances of it. But I don't think we'll ever get the full story unless someone decides to tell the full story of it. But there's still very much in it. So to these two teams, you got to get three points from this fixture. Zimini's with a throw. Three points here for Charlie Smith and the group will be even tighter, of course. Because then Kingston College won't be able to extend their lead at top of the group. And Charlie Smith will be right back into it. A win could take them as high as second position before then like a third. They're reworking it again, Charlie Smith. There are four players waiting on the ball inside the era. That could have been awkward. But it was seen all the way by Malik Williams. The bones, as we said, very uncertain. But even though Charlie Smith have pressed the advantage a lot more, an attack the 18-yard era of Kingston College, we haven't really seen an out and out chance for them just yet. Still haven't seen a whole lot from Stoney, the captain. Daniel Clark is the one seeing a lot of the action in the attack in third for Charlie Smith. But they need their number nine more involved. Struggling to score goals, Charlie Smith, just the 5-1 win over Penwood in their second game, five of their six goals. And yet this is their fifth game now. So really need to be busy up front. So maybe no surprise that, as you said, the usual suspects in terms of goal scoring for them, just missing an action at the moment. Zumini is winning it. Clark was looking for the foul. It didn't go his way. Zumini is for that searching ball and the header well away. But Green nods it inside. Fletcher looking to go over the top. Brown is quick, but he's not Superman and went through to be taken by Dante Gehry. KGF here so far between the two. And the Kingston College is just biting their time here. Now Duane attacking the final third to the byline and was thrown off just a little bit, but maybe because there was a touch on it here for a corner kick. Emmanuel to take it for Charlie Smith. Not the best delivery at all actually. Kingston College finding it easy to clear their lines and there's a turn by Byfield. Haven't really called his name a lot in this game. And the free kick going in favour of Charlie Smith again. This could be interesting. In a central position and quite a few Charlie Smith players are lining up to take it. Now the world is being constructed by Malik Williams in goal for Kingston College. You can see where the world is going to be set up still outside the 18-yard box. So again, some way out here. Who's going to take this for Charlie Smith? Only one contender. Here it comes and there it goes. Disappointing from Smith in the end. Michael Smith, they sent her back, splicing it. Yeah, leaning away from it too much. Didn't get over it at all, did Smith. Quite ambitious in the end, nowhere close. They look at the results over the last 10 to 11 years. There's been only one nil-all draw between these two teams. Came back on the 29th of September 2012. But apart from that, goals and lots of them. There was a classic 3-3 draw at one stage. 2013. That was a second round match between these two. Eighth of November 2013. When you look at the last couple of matchups, it's been totally dominated by KC. Five nil against them last season. Back in 2021, a three-nil win for KC. So yeah, big performances for Kingston College against Charlie Smith. One Charlie Smith victory in 2012 on the 15th of September. One nil win. But apart from that, it's been all the purples in this head-to-head. Well, here's Emmanuel. And it's headed away by Xiao. Picked up again by Richards. Xiao with the header. Not convincing on this occasion. An opportunity. Oh, wonderful football. Tony tries to get there. The clearance is made. And it's behind for a corner kick. Probably the best chance of the afternoon for Charlie Smith. Definitely the best worked one. It's just an opportunity in the area. But unable to get the final touch was their leading goal scorer. Getting involved. He's Emmanuel wanting that position. Recon Stoney scored a hat-trick against Penwood, their number nine. But nothing since. So corner kick to Charlie Smith. Can they finally make it count? It's a good delivery at the back post. I don't think he was quite expecting it, you know. Was that Stevenson with the header? Came off of low for sure, though. I think it was a combination play from Charlie Smith. Not meant to be, but as you said, caught him by surprise. Yeah, I think so. Because there was a mis-header in there somewhere. Nice delivery from Stoney. Yeah. With a left boot aiming for that penalty spot area. There they come again looking to turn. Stoney getting more involved here. Shot was charged on Stoney again. Applying the pressure on Zimini's. Zimini's loses it. And finally it's hacked out of the area by Kingston College. And Charlie Smith will try again. Was there a handled ball involved there? The referee was right there, you know. Set play on and they will play on. And Casey on the break and his slip on it. And the ball was a poor release, but it goes through in the end. An opportunity here for Brown. And the keeper big with the save. I think that was a bad call by Carvel Banton. It was obvious that I'm not sure who was on the ground from Kingston College. But it was a clear hand ball. This is the opportunity for Stoney. Nice shot going through the legs there. And look to get away with it. Clear off the line in the end. It didn't actually make its way to the line. It was Brian was in the right place with the clearance. Yeah, he's had a good game. Just look at, well, it's gone a bit too far. But a moment before that, certainly a handball on the ground uses arm to actually maneuver the ball. Yeah, I think there should have been a whistle from Carvel Banton there. And maybe luckily for him, it didn't result in a goal. He nearly did. And then I think they would have also been a question of offside against Kelvin Brown as well. Good save though. Coming in by Gary. Had to be brave, right? So please about to resume in short order. There are a couple of players down, including the Charles Smith custodian. So we're hearing that a yellow card has been shown to Kevin Richards. We're going to have to double check that as to the reason. But he's animated, isn't he? Eugene Williams on the sidelines, the Charles Smith head coach. Is a Charlie Smith number four? Who'd have received the yellow card essential midfielder? There's a play resumes now. Well, here's green. Semeniz. Yep, just confirmed the yellow card. I was picked up by Kevin Richards. Still trying to ascertain why. Well, that one slipped by. That it did. We have a little over five minutes to go, plus time at it for stoppages. The chances have been rear. But they have been big chances of that word. Again, a miscontrol, though, that's been frustrating for the coaching staff of both these teams. Trying to lay that one off the captain, headed away. His love fortunate to get there. Lost it long. And this is some good defending by Reese Clayton. Again, the ball over the top. Yeah, the high passes, the long passes just haven't worked. Hang in the breeze and it's been easy for the backline. Yeah, they are kicking into the breeze in this first half, aren't they? Yeah, it's been easy for Charlie Smith so far. The three man backline of Charlie Smith, well-renowned. Starting from the days of Jerome Wait, when he was at the helm. Charlie Smith in the attacking third, the flag up for offside. So this is the situation that led to, just look at that there. Clear hand ball from a KC perspective and actually use his hand to pull the ball around. Yeah, that was the Jean Green. The Jean Green, yeah. Very surprising that he got away with that. And then look at this, it led to this opportunity for Brown, who could have added his second of the season. And you have to say, from a neutral's perspective, glad that he didn't score because I think that was something missed by Carvel Brown. And he would have lost control of the ball. Carvel Banton, sorry, would have lost control of the ball had it not been for his hand. Yeah, ball played through the clock. He should get there, one to aim for it. Well, no, he doesn't quite get there. And it's been a frustrating afternoon for him so far, for him too. McLean, his love with some space here, can he capitalize to running inside the area? It goes in at the back post again, trying to hit it on the volley. And Green couldn't quite get over it, couldn't get the power behind it as well. Here's KC again, ball over the top again looking for Hislop. But to be fair, Hislop has been pretty much manhandled over on this near side and unable to get by his marker. Yeah, do he any doing a good job there? Green opting for the long throw, or rather, Zimini's I should say, Zimini's and again, it's to he any there. Well, time challenge. Oh, captain play. Well, that was a lovely touch, you know, from Green, but he lost eventually. Nobody up for Charlie Smith. Brian Patterson couldn't be kept in play. Three minutes of stoppages to be played. Safety first for Xiao. Well, the game is almost in park at the moment. As players gear up for the halftime interval. Usually a critical moment in football matches. If you can try and sneak a goal in there and go into the break with some momentum, that's that would be key. But it has been pretty warm conditions so far. So the players probably eager to get back into the dressing room of sorts. Brown playing a little bit more central now. Based on what we've seen, both these teams might need a lock Smith before they can utilize that key. Again, that ball to his luck. But the Charlie Smith defenders doing relatively well so far to keep Kingston College at bay. Yeah, just about a minute to go before the interval and the Charlie Smith player is down. Yeah, I think he just landed awkwardly there, Stoney. Got a hand in the face as well. Oh, there's also that. There is that one. Nothing malicious but unfortunate. I don't think a lot of time will be added. With that last bit of stoppage there and that is it for the first half? The chances have been few and far between. And even with that in play, neither team taken advantage of the rare opportunities. Clark in particular has had a couple of chances for Charlie Smith, who have really been knocking in this first half, but with a higher intensity. And with even more chances, they have been unable to make the breakthrough. Three points pivotal for them. Kingston College, they are top of the group. They are in cruise control at the moment, but they'd want to do better come the second half, which will get on the way in a few minutes time because at the halftime interval, well, its goal is here at Calabar High. Friday, Fogo Road with Maseo High. That's Friday at 3 p.m., 4 p.m. in the Eastern Caribbean. You can watch that one on Sportsmax 2 and CTV as well as on the Sportsmax app. You don't want to miss it this Friday afternoon, 3 o'clock, for the Eastern Caribbean. Yeah, and it's overcast and in the background you'll see to your left the rain over the Blue Mountain Range and we're just watching it, hoping that it passes by and doesn't affect the playing area right here at Calabar High School are set to make their way back out onto the field. Chris Taylor is still with me. It was a pedestrian first half, wasn't it? And we're hoping for better for the second stand-up. Hard work on the surface for both of these teams. I think attacking the 18-yard better went to Charlie Smith. They would have won the award for that. Not creating maybe enough chances though. Chances few for both these teams. Kingston College were looking to do their work on the counter. I'd love to see a better midfield showing from then in a second 45 minutes. Yeah, mentioned the rain on the Blue Mountain Range in the distance and just hoping that it stays away. It's moving left and not quite coming in our direction. At least that's the hope but you can see that telling shot where the rains in the distance. But it's even more ominous over on the other side. We can tell you that. So just waiting on the Charlie Smith players to take their positions. Yeah, what dark glows there? Right above the KFC balloon and to the right. It's actually raining in the distance to the left of that KFC balloon. But yeah. There it is. There it is. There's a right on the hills there. Red hills to be exact. You have a lot of land up there, right? Yeah, there is a lot of land on the hills of red. So the second half is now on the way. Charlie Smith with the kickoff. And they showed a lot of intensity in that first half. Had a couple of chances. One big opportunity falling to their number nine Stoney. Really couldn't capitalize on the chance. Charlie Smith. Maybe Kingston College will show a little bit more ambition. Come this second half. Let's see. Remember that they're coming off a big win over Penwood 14-0. They would like to think that they didn't score all their goals in that game. Yeah. Patrick for DiMario Daly. Their number nine and Alex Hislop. Their number 11. They're moving quickly through the gears. Now Clark opting to send that one out wide. Looking to provide one inside the area. They still have the opportunity. Ball comes inside. Tony was trying to control. Couldn't. Kevin Brown does really well, you know, in keeping possession of that one. Now the play has been switched over to the far side. Hislop, he'll keep that one in play. Two to aim for inside the box. It comes across the area and it's headed to Green. On the platter now. What a block that is. Still a chance for KC. The shot is blocked again and across the face of goal. Well, couldn't get the vital touch. A goal kick has been signaled. And the change as well. Substitution. What a chance here for Kelvin Brown. Should have been a better finish from him. And yeah, well, that as well. Well wide in the end. Brown not going to the open spot in the goal. Going back across the keeper. And the defenders got in the way. Well, what a chance that was for Kelvin Brown and Kingston College. I think George Pringle has just come on for Charlie Smith who confirmed that in just a little while. Yep. Pringle for Daniel Clark. Well, the captain taken off. It's going to be interesting to see the story behind that change. Is it an injury? Is it tactical? The Charlie Smith. Well, Pringle did score two goals against Penwood in that 5-1 win. And they need goals. Charlie Smith did come off in the game in their last game against Calabar the daily. So maybe no surprise. Sorry, did Clark. They're captain Daniel Clark. What a big chance wasted by Casey, though. So many bites at the cherry. Three chances to finish it. And couldn't get it done. I think you can put that down as the best opportunity of the game. For sure. Opportunities. Yeah. Charlie Smith. Stevenson. Both fed out wide. Pringle trying to get into the action early. Opportunity here. Oh, he does well on the byline. And then lost it. Whole football again over the top. Looking for the free kick. Got the free kick. Good by field. Yeah, it was tripped up there. Both players tried to get to the ball, but recently a little bit too strong in the challenge. Causing the infringement. McLean to deliver for Kingston College. Here's the liver inside and easily repelled. Casey will try again. Green. Green does really well. Sends it across and didn't quite make its destination. Destination there. Good turn. Need a little bit of pass. That's a late challenge. Yellow card. May come out. Yep. Late on that one. Zeminis. Doesn't look as if he's been off to the races. Zeminis in this game. And he goes into the referee's book. As a Charlie Smith player goes down. Eyes are on the weather. The temperature has dropped a couple degrees since the start of this game. We can tell you that it's a bit windy. And the rain at the moment is on the outskirts here at Calabar High. But it may make an entrance shortly. And they will have to find the cover soon maybe. They're preparing for the second game though. Calabar will be involved. They'll be taken on High Del High. That's expected to be a good game too. The Calabar Old Boy will be on commentary for that second game. Riccardo Chambers. It is ominous. We heard the sound of thunder. Just a minute or so ago. Officials their eyes would be on the system that is nearby. Not the sight. Charlie Smith spectators would want to see. Well they are preparing. In the meantime Charlie Smith they have a free kick. Stoney is the wanted liver. Here it comes inside and wider the mark. Wasn't in shot just now but there was a brilliant flash of lightning in the distance that caught spectators by surprise. And the thunder less than 30 seconds after. And I am not sure how long we'll be able to last here at Calabar High. Before the players are taken off the field because that was pretty close. But we play on Kingston College charging forward. Can they go a goal ahead. Another infringement on the play free kick to Kingston College. What's the 30 for 30 rule that you always speak about Chris Taylor. Once the thunder clap is within 30 seconds of the lightning strike here to move from the outdoor area and take cover. And then you count 30 minutes from that. Another lightning strike out of your view as well as Kingston College with the free kick. Can they take the advantage here. Where the fourth official. This one is sent at the back post kept alive and turned wide of the mark. Well that was another big opportunity again it falls to Hesla. The fourth official has signal to Carville Banton to come off. This is a chance for KC which is wide of the mark. And Banton has decided to continue well. He probably knows the area very well. I'm not sure anybody knows lightning very well here on the side of caution. Please switch over to that far side and it's a royal battle happening over there. Travon Lowe earning the free kick for the Charismith team. Ball sent inside the area. And this is comfortably over for a go kick. And the players are leaving the field precaution taken. It's has been a regular occurrence this season with officials erring on the side of caution. Play has been stopped due to lightning in the distance. And with an incident taking place especially at in recent times in the that cost a couple it was. And the players and officials being directly affected. No chance has been taken. And we will take or leave from our broadcast position for the time being. Reminding you that it's go let's between these two. It's a big clash in the Manning Cup in what is considered to be the group of death. And both teams unable to get on the score sheet and play has been stopped due to lightning. If they stick to the book there should be no action for the next 30 minutes. And if the conditions clear play will resume. Of the field now they plan to resume the match giving both teams 10 minutes to warm up. And we're back with more schoolboy football action up to you Dana. Thank you Jeanette. Chris Taylor is still with me in the commentary box barely. That was eventful the last 45 minutes or so. And to be fair I am actually a little bit surprised. I actually have thought that the match would have been called off. But they have managed to well we're seeing a situation here. And these are live pitches where Eugene Williams is making a case to the officials that the pitch is actually still waterlogged. And he doesn't what he appears as if he's uncomfortable. Let me just use that word with the situation here because he's actually on the field. And he's remonstrating with the officials. So Chris Taylor what are your thoughts on this. I actually agree with him. I actually think there's a big heavy water by the goal area. So it affects the movement of the goalkeepers. In fact to the opposite end by the corner flag and towards the corner you can see massive puddles of water. And his anger I think is just that he doesn't think the ball will be able to flow freely. And the players movements will certainly be affected. And that's where his team will be attacking right. Well I think it's irrelevant whether they are attacking or defending there. I think he will be looking at it from a holistic perspective. Obviously he will be looking for his team. But that's generally for the game of football. He's been around a long time Eugene Williams. And I must say I had problems even from before the game was called. If I thought it should have been the whistle should have blown maybe five to 10 minutes earlier with lots of lightning flashes. The fourth official had signal for the players to come off. And the central referee continued. And I'm not surprised that both teams have issues here again. Well to be fair only based on what we are seeing here only the Charlie Smith contingent having a problem. And now another discussion is being had as to well the urgency of the situation in either case. Is the field ready for football to continue? That's a big question being asked at the moment. The spectators have come and they want to see football being played. But I suspect that they also want to see quality football being played and to be fair even before the rain began the level and the standard of football wasn't up to scratch let's say. But he's having some issues. Eugene Williams the head coach of Charlie Smith. We see different shots of the of the playing area. And well you can judge for yourself folks if you think it's if you think that's of the and it doesn't even have to be at the best quality. But if it is of quality for play to continue we can also tell you still that overcast conditions still with us and lightning and thunder again nearby. So maybe even this discussion is is moot. There's a shot of conditions away to a left this time. The previous storm had come across to a right. But there's another ominous weather system over to our left. And we have already seen flashes of lightning. And Chris Taylor has done the math and the count. And he figures that the 32nd rule should be in effect once more. And if that's the case you're saying that they should be off again. Quite so as you can see another lightning strike coming through. And I mean if not well irrespective of what kind of math you're using you won't get to 30 seconds. You know so I just think it's dangerous and unnecessary to force the issue. That's on the field. Yeah this is on the field of play and not to mention the goal area as well which is a critical part because that's where the goalkeeper will operate from and his movement will be seriously affected. What is the thinking behind the officials pushing the agenda of this game. What do you think because of course you've been official you've been an official but you tend to stick by the book and maybe there aren't repercussions that we are aware of. But what would be going through the referee's minds at this point in time while they are pushing to complete this fixture. Well I'm not sure if the organizers are asking the referees to push on and so on. But I just think from an official perspective you have to be also looking to protect your game the reputation and so on. It's clear to me that these conditions are not ideal already for the game to be continued. Even in the live shots here you can see the Charlie Smith players passing around the ball and the ball can't move freely within the 18 and 6 yard area which is a business area. So yeah and especially with the lightning as well and I'm not happy about it. The original starting time would have been or the resumption time would have been about 10 minutes ago since then there have been deliberation. There have been arguments. There have been phone calls. A sense that there has also been a level of introspection as well as to what to do in the aftermath of this. Charlie Smith they have been actively demonstrating. Kingston College they have been a little bit more reserved and I was making the point about whether it would affect one team or the next. The case brought forward by Vassar Reynolds to the officials is that it would be difficult for his team to defend as much as it would have been difficult for the Charlie Smith team to attack. Yeah I'm surprised that there's a lot of deliberation here. I just think it's not ready for play so why force the issue. That's where I am at. I'm not sure if it's a perspective that they need to push on and if so I would put my hand up and I say I think they are wrong to do that. I think Vassar Reynolds I think it's fair to either squad. True. I think Vassar Reynolds though is a little bit more amenable to continuing it. It appears that Eugene Williams which means which means which also means that Charlie Smith would then have to be careful if the officials insist on continuing with the game because then Charlie Smith who already they're in a somewhat precarious position in the group they would stand to lose points. They would continue on the dispute and you know you have seen situations where like this where the coaches or the administration their hands might be forced. I'm hoping this is not one of them but you can see in the live shots certainly on the half that Charlie Smith are inside the 18 and 60 area right. Well what's interesting and what I like about the fixtures this season in particular is that there is a little bit more time in between the games usually in the past there were there were very short stretches where matches were played every three days not necessarily this this this season there there are more stretches of rests. So I am thinking that it would be prudent if the matches is postponed or if it's rearranged because it wouldn't be a hassle as it was in the past. But they do have backup games there's a there's a Kingston College there's a there's a Heidel campadon game that needs to be continuous continued as well by all indications I don't think the Heidel game against Calabar will be played this afternoon at any rate and then the possibility of completing this game at another time so this group is already bursting at the seams in terms of what is available in terms of dates for these rescheduled matches. I care less about the group fixtures I care about the safety of the players right and seeing a proper game of football and from that perspective I mean it's still heavily overcast there's lightning around every two ministers a lightning strike but yet we're out in the open on the field yeah I think that's ridiculous we've already had an incident this season where youngsters and officials have been taken to the hospital because of lightning right so right there's been incidents even since that with a champion and ardent match as well in the Manning Cup so so when and a case where the ardent goalkeeper was struck so what are we doing out in the open trying to force an issue which is unnecessary and once they decide the players are out on the field exposed it's ridiculous whether from an Issa perspective or from the officials as well body ridiculous well approximately what 63 minutes well 33 minutes uh the time remaining in this game and as I said maybe it's officials thinking that there's already a strain on the the fixture list and and but I think that can be sorted out in the board room obviously in what standard while we're still talking about the Issa fixtures that can't be paramount that can't be paramount I'm sorry the competition can't be more important than the safety and well-being of the school boys involved I'm sorry cannot be and the officials and everybody else who is exposed to this scenario look at this yeah I'm I think a map would have been better and even as we say this the place is getting a lot more overcast and as you said the lightning and thunder closer together and there's the addition the additional issue of there being no lights here and I suppose that this this would come into effect even more now with the overcast conditions and would this game even survive another half an hour before we see close to complete darkness I think there are issues that we are certainly not aware of process to the urgency or what's the urgency uh with having to continue this game this afternoon there there's obviously something that we're missing clearly but that wouldn't change your mind regardless no as I said obviously there's another agenda at hand there is principal monty queue womans girls out there carrying sponge as well to try and and mop up the area as I said that's one of a few concerns at the venue as I said I was a little bit surprised with the fact that they had deemed the officials in particular deemed the game to continue because it was so obvious that the the surface was unfit and that's a term that's that's used the surface was actually unfit for football to continue but but if they have a mandate it has superseded what Chris Taylor deems as common sense and safety so you say that a schedule or or a set of fixtures are more important than the safety of persons that's an issue for me if that is what is paramount that's a big issue for me and should be a big issue for everyone watching and and the parents will send out their youngsters as well well we've been on air for a little over 10 minutes almost 15 minutes and still no football action to report but if you are just joining us just to say that it is golless between these two teams uh Kingston College and Child Smith High the game was stopped in the 57th minute because a lightning strike or lightning strikes were nearby and so they took the precaution to take the players off the field of play subsequent to that there was heavy rainfall saturating the area where the football was being played here at Calabar High School the referee has come now to the middle of the park he is calling his officials and I believe a decision is going to be made in short order well they are going to restart this game and Eugene Williams who had taken a stance by being on the field has finally ended his protest and we can tell you you probably would have just missed it in your shot but there's another lightning strike in the background and it is within a 15 second countdown over over the thunder again in the aftermath of that lightning strike this is a danger of becoming a farce but the action has resumed Child Smith on the attack looking to go ahead Kingston College repelling the danger for the time being although I suspect that's not the only danger they'll be concerned about ball over the top that should be separated out go keeper Williams collects Casey on the attack can they go ahead in this one not on that occasion couldn't quite get the shot off again his slot wonder what's going through the minds of the players I'm sure youthful enthusiasm is the order of the day or exuberance as well and they want to just play some ball but obviously they are not the decision makers it's been a pretty open affair so far of the resumption nice turning side that shot is just over the top coming from Kelvin Brown Kingston College still trying to regain the possession here ball over the top was looking for Stevenson he's not back they're doing some defending there's an infringement on the play Child Smith with the free kick sent high inside the box and it's put out for well the flag went up for our side at any rate Emmanuel with the throw Richard sends it across but the interception is made and Casey trying to break now trying to switch over to the right hand side Emmanuel with the foot in play and gets a return ball on the left but just ran into traffic not the best or most convincing clearance on that occasion but Malik Williams will mob it up so to speak that's a lead challenge that came across from young Kamal Patterson just a talking to from the referee nothing more you're probably looking to get away without a book in there as well definitely late Michael Smith's delivery going goal words the keeper seeing it all the way no issues but if that was really a shot quite ambitious from Smith the first time he's gone to go from range probably won't be the last either so another dimension of football that we didn't quite expect that's a lovely collection there from byfield but he's lost it and it goes the other way this is dinged forward by Smith into an era of uncertainty and Ziminiz was back there and he had to put in a clearance as well wasn't confident that his goalkeeper Williams would have gotten there in time Ziminiz all passed into the business here from Smith thought it was a bit too far in front of his teammates but yeah there's the uncertainty but Ziminiz kept his eye on it and did well there was a bit of a backspin there on it as well great using a lot of cricket in terms in the last minute or so Smith again goes aerial clearance again not too convincing trying to tap that own phone was Tevin Richards but it now comes the other way in Kingston College on the prowl what can they do with this attack now swept inside well and Fletcher trying to place that one through another shot from distance cannons into a Charles Smith defender Casey will try again nice first touch from byfield who's out wide and that is not quite put into touch but Charles Smith getting in some trouble and they'll have to do some defending Paterson couldn't get there for Casey but Stoney has it for Charlie Smith runs away from a challenge running into additional yard of space plays it out wide not quite but there was a late challenge on Charlie Smith's number nine kind of game that Charlie Smith have to force for a result they have to force the issue they sit in fourth position just six points from four games and still a lot to go to do in a very difficult group Casey coming into this game with a cushion 12 points from four games four from four lots of determination there from Stoney who lost a boot in the process ball flicked on not clear property big chance Malik Williams in the way I don't think he knew a whole lot about it it was struck hard but straight to the Casey custodian that was a big chance with Charlie Smith and it seemed like it fell to Gale Kevon Gale it's got to do better there though hit it point blank on the goalkeeper anywhere left or right and that would have been a goal at time as well wow byfield collects it both thread through he's on side the keeper is off his line and is beaten Casey with a chance and scarner begging his slip again the man was the outlet for Kingston College over on the far side but it seems if Gary did enough big tackle from Stevenson this was a chance did fall to Kevon Gale and he's got to do better there keep a beat in here but let's look at this tackle coming from Stevenson excellent yeah excellent from Stevenson Hyslop lurking looking for his fifth goal of the season Alex Hyslop was a part of the Jamaica college winning team from last season Alex Hyslop yeah obviously it's finally year of schoolboy football as Kingston College with the corner kick there's a been a bit of a delay but plays about to be restarted in short order here's a corner kick both and inside of the near post well I think a water break has been taken and that's a a little bit of a surprise but the players getting the instructions from the referees and Chris Taylor is Chris Taylor is usually quite miserable in the commentary box but I'm sure he has his reasons this afternoon as to why he's a little bit more restless than normal no goals in his fixtures yet so a couple of chances since the resumption and Hyslop on this occasion was denied by the Anthony Stevenson back to live action well that was done well and the finish though didn't have a lot of power behind it well stony inside the area stony looking for options Emmanuel places it and too much on it on that occasion and it's going to be a go kick very difficult conditions to both attack and defend in trying to get out of the own defensive third Kingston College Zubini's does really well and the transition is on Kingston College going forward can they capitalize he has space to shoot and he didn't shoot much oh but there's a slip and it's put away Kingston College with the advantage and it's jaheem mclean or no it's byfield was inside the box mopping up the mistake and Kingston College with the advantage by a goal to nil and well it's disaster for the charlesmith custodian what a mistake case he did benefit from one of these in their match against camper down and again oh slippery fingers there gary with a mistake very unfortunate for him but credit to the Sean byfield who never switched off their number 19 his first goal of the season what a big lead this could be for Kingston College 15 minutes away from a flawless five out of five record that was a challenge that was timely according to the referee so it's a go kick green with a turn i was looking for a call in his favor referee said play on and they do but it's charlesmith with the possession now not many players forward for them ball sent through for charlesmith 117 college that's another lovely ball played through he's the bonnet he's not going to send that one inside and clear it away our green on the byline challenge coming in on green corner kick to Kingston College case he was making a change in short order the Mario Daly coming on for Kelvin Brown nice to be able to bring on a player who has four goals behind his name so far coming off of a hat trick as well daily against pinwood will come inside the area and that is wide of the mark byfield fresh after scoring his first goal of the season byfield probably should have been two nice delivering to the area lovely trajectory oh byfield just open this but a little bit too much should have finished it they come again lovely first take but couldn't do a lot with it after afterwards daily but they do well to recover Kingston College green needing options play that one inside oh lovely skill but can't get by a second defender the gold scorer now the clearance is made case you're looking for a second goal to really seal this off paterson on it paterson sends it across that's a lovely ball inside the area a chance of Kingston College while the whistle goes what a pass i agree offside yes but he wouldn't have known that byfield byfield with a pastor lovely technique by byfield i mean that couldn't have been any more accurate beautiful delivery from a wide area but yeah offside in the end see you don't agree with that call the officials have been in the microscope this afternoon well that's ambitious but it barely reached the keeper in the end that was from a clean michael smith trying to play the ball forward and couldn't do a lot with it green gives chase keeps it in play green does well with the faint balls somehow matches to get across and the shot is wayward coming from the substitute the mario daily oh that's a lovely set up you know by kc can they make it too there's an appeal for a handled ball but play continues here's a shuttle that's a fabulous save you know deontay geary had to stand tall to parry that one over the top was fletcher with the effort it was on target but denied by deontay geary yeah not in the best of moods geary so even though he executed that save very much aware that he gave away the one goal for kincen college so you can see from his reaction still feeling but i was still a wonderful save strong double-handed save but you can tell from his his face that it's it's bearing on him still thinking about that mistake has to let that go child smith making a change as well steven immanuel is being taken off and anthony allen is coming on in for his first goal in allen here's a swinger inside still not cleared keeper in no man's land and that was right of the mark as well he slept with another opportunity geary came and geary missed weak attempt at the punch and luckily for him attempt was wild green on his right foot looking for space that's a lovely ball inside can they make it too it's wide it's the song by field again he could have had a hat trick in this game yeah what a chance charlie smith defense opening up especially these slippery conditions that certainly looks like a foul but yeah opening up this charlie smith three man defense line not adapting well to the conditions charlie smith lots of mistakes and that was a lovely pass by view kept his eye on it to give him credit yeah just ending up on the wrong side of the post charlie smith making another change good idea to hit the back to go for the far triangle but just missed it by field kevon gale been taken out and replacing him andre langford kick coming inside and it was easily handled by kingston college let's see what they do on this occasion charlie smith ball sent inside the area it goes behind for a goal kick on coming down with 20 feet come on gale replace one of my feet 20 feet of a 20 feet daily lost it ball sent out wide and langford trying to set his teammate free over that right inside but the puddle caught them case he coming forward and it is daily brian they're trying to force that through was by field for a kick to charlie smith can they put something out of a hat here that's the intention i'm sure tevin richards is behind it he has to contend with a three man wall as well i'm sure you wouldn't mind trying to test malik williams from here in these conditions and he tries to do so it's not too far off the target but it was off the target and uh yep i had ambitious there tevin richards in that attempt but it was always going to be on the cards not close enough for charlie smith and they're in a precarious position in this group now in fourth position and steering down the panel the panel of another loss or the barrel of a gun right as we take a look at the sportsmax that moment and it was some beautiful movement by kingston college and the resulting effort forced to save and it was a fabulous one that deontay geary full stretch to his right there denying kate flexure yep sportsmax that moment of the game courtesy of the sportsmax app zemeniz would want to get out of the area quickly yeah that was never going to be a good idea well she's watching our sportsmax app natalia godfrey sports psychologists for kingston college was actually a part of the 2016 conwell college setup when they won and has done a lot of work with kingston college since their success in 2018 and 2021 behind lord lord bonad as well as andrew edwards and now vassel reynolds would have worked with andrew edwards and vassel reynolds i think at manchester for a while as well so lots of success at the schoolboy level and you can see certainly what the difference that sports psychologists can make of course getting into the heads of these youngsters with all the things they are going through generally and we are going to see more often as we go across the schools i know that st. george's college has implemented that service as well with dr alivia rose also there and it's it's something that's been picked up not enough though don't not enough obviously not enough but i think he's going to need it after this game i can tell you that yeah you did williams yeah he's quite frustrated and obviously look at how he conceded as well but yeah child is still not quite out of it and we're trying to get back into the action we're going to talk about the most valuable player in just a little while and one player who has been a standard has been the kingston college defender o'neill brian yeah hasn't been called upon much in the resume but in the early in the first what 57 minutes he was a big part of of the kingston college backline certainly swatted most of the attempts on some important tackles against the charlie smith attackers as they say apart from that one chance that charlie smith have gotten since they really have had nothing much going forward and green has been asked the john green has been asked to play a deeper role than he normally does or rather more attacking role than he normally does actually kind of switched with jaheem mclean who was playing a more defensive role than he normally does for kingston college but if he has been switched as part of the supporting cast yeah there hasn't been much a attacking of quality from a kingston college perspective yes they have gotten the goal but that's it yeah ball sent inside that's not in the way an opportunity here for charlie smith as it's played out wide what can they do with this it's allen still inside the area they've had so many touches inside the box but nothing or fruit here's an opportunity can something be had from this langford sent it wide allen trying to get a shot off didn't have the space another effort from distance will just trickle by the post closing out the area well done there is brian walking towards his goalkeeper there number four very good first half very good start to the second half before the interruption since then of course obviously with slippery conditions harder for the defenders and the goalkeepers charlie smith suffering under it as well casey have been able to find a lot more areas of openness in the defense line so far just one goal probably should have had two or three so another change to be made by kingston college deshawn by field the goalscorer makes his exit i think that's pristana mares is going to be coming on nope the main target it on cali number well that was strong from the mario daily casey looking for a second here not a lot of time remaining allen trying to thread that one through his lip has it trying to switch the play some good defending there hasn't had a happy afternoon eugene williams not a lot of time remaining in fact seconds for charlie smith and there it is it felt like eons but we've come to the conclusion of this matchup and kingston college they have taken all the points and another frustrating afternoon for eugene williams and his charlie smith team and even in the end it was a mistake at the back that cost kingston college that caused kingston college to get the goal and maximum points for basser reynolds deshawn by field opening his account this season in mucking up the spill by deontay geary inside the area at the end kingston college led by their big defender onil brian the number four getting the better of eugene williams and his troops by a goal to nil driving forward into the air was casey and kevin brown instinctive kind of finish back heel ball was behind him brilliant attempt well blocked by charlie smith deshawn by field on the left hand side getting that ball into the area then charlie smith had a bit of the first half in and around that 18 yard here but just couldn't really create a lot of opportunities this is the best of them and stony trying to get in almost but williams did well strong enough and it was cleared by the man of the match brian in the right place at the right time in that first half then this scenario the best for kingston college in the first half miss kick fall into brown should have done better brown but geary off the line in time note to the second half kingston college into the area charlie for brown can't find the back of the net with near post probably should have gone to the far post where there was more space for him and luckily charlie smith got away then charlie smith's their best attempt this after the resumption and hit it straight to the goalkeeper disappointing from a charlie smith's perspective gale then casey coming into the air just look at that wow a real blooper for the auntie geary very unfortunate for the charlie smith goalkeeper slippery fingers but by field was there stayed alert by field and had the important touch to put it into the back of the net casey one nil to the good they had another really good opportunity it fell to by field yet again are similar questions of him but this time couldn't keep it between the frame and a missed opportunity wide of the mark to show on by field that would have sealed it in the end casey didn't need it then nice one to play down the left hand side of the attack into the area and look at this save coming from geary lovely two handed better than his previous attempt and forcing it out for a corner the strike coming in from kajae fletcher and he has still feeling it was geary upset about his mistake casey getting in and another chance yeah wow and charlie smith not adapting to the conditions very well the wet surfaces after the resumption and lots of opportunities one nil casey big results seven shots on target from 13 attempts for charlie smith but couldn't get a call today four and target from 15 attempts from casey and the all important one goal there was one yellow card each shown by carvel banton the referee four corners for charlie smith they only had 45 percent of the possession majority of the possession for kingston college and they made the most of it an important win to confirm their position at top of the table 15 points from five games one nil casey after 90 minutes let's hear from our man of the match who is with jenay known more than anil brian congratulations anil you are the man of the match for today well anil the last time i saw you was at the high deal match you got a red card but now you're getting the man of

forward so we have to keep up the good work and do our best in it well congratulations anil thank you and now we have a chance to talk to the head coach of king son college no other than mr vaso reynolds coach we saw the weather conditions today and the stoppages in the game how did affect how did that affect you and more so your boys and how did you keep them motivated during that break um at one time we figured that that was it in terms of the game but um as soon as we got the news that there's there was a possibility um we asked the players to shift the mindset a little bit um and what we came out here and do after and did after the the break it indicated that we were pretty ready for the restart of the game well coach you did talk about the development of these boys and that it's a young squad so you got the win today but how are you going to keep this team from um not being complacent for the rest of the season no we continue to to to to our rebuilding process um we don't want to get ahead of ourselves um we take it as it's come what one thing that we're doing is treat each game as it comes so we continue to develop and we continue to improve much after much and
