 Welcome back to the Antony Spalding Sports Complex as we prepare for an evening of football in the Reinebue National Premier League. And first up on the agenda, Maline United against Veer United. For Maline United, they say that unity is strength and they'll be hoping to put out a united front as they take the field. Again, a team that plays attractive football and with a little bit of flair. They really came into their own, the latter part of last season. Didn't they, Maline United? And you reckon that they would be considered the complete opposite to Veer United and you would affiliate them with the words stubborn and concrete at the back because yeah, they don't let a lot of goals in, but they don't score a lot either. And you suspect that once again it's going to be a battle between attack and defense. And there they are lining up and heading out to the middle. Maline United in their traditional blue. You have to love the kids this year. Veer United in their traditional green and yellow trimmings. Cris Taylor again. Let's talk about this match in particular based on what they did last season. What are your expectations? Maline's very good on the attacking end of things were fourth or fifth in terms of the goal scoring charts last season. The fact that Nicholas Nelson is not there, I think will dampen their impetus up front. Yes, they have a quality striker in Jason Wright, but it would be good to see how they adjust with the likes of Tevin Scott now coming in. Wasn't very fluent last season, but you're very united. The second lowest scoring team last season, only Chapleton scored less. Alexey Perry is the man in charge of this one. Joshua Jackson and Rolanda Bennett will assist him. Carvel Banton is the fourth official. You look at Veer United. Love to see them do a lot better. They're attacking end of things, but since they've come back into the Premier League, goal scoring has always been a challenge for them. The king of 1-0 results throughout the course of their recent history. Maline's did a double over them last season. That's another point of note. Maximus Davis is between the sticks. Jaheem Palmer, Sergene Franksson, Taraj Angels and Enrique Gordon from Falkland, who impressed for a failing unit last season. Has been drafted by Maline United this season. Javon Brown, Jeremy Nelson, Marvin Williams making his debut in the middle of the park alongside Rashon Livingston. And they will play behind strikers, Tevin Scott and as we mentioned so many times before, their leading man Jason Wright who scored 14 goals last term. As far as Veer United is concerned, they'll have a 4-3-3 formation. Rajay Williams is back between the sticks. They have Steve Pinnock, Alvin Sean, Donovan Clark and Kimoi Phillips as the back four. So J. Graham will hold that midfield and will give a free roll to Lamar Neal and Javier Brown up top. Davion Pinnock on the left, formerly of a chaplain and Ricardo Dennis on the right. Usually he comes off the bench, but he starts the first game here for Veer United. Jason Dyer through the middle. Yeah, a lot of familiar faces for Veer United, Fakibi Farkason not able to make it into the starting lineup. But yeah, limited resources, generally a thing for Veer United. But so far, Lin Valdixon and Germain Douglas have done well with what they have had. And amazing to me that they even managed to stay in the Premier League last season. Can they do better this year? The Clarenin base team, Mullines United, very good at the attacking side of things. I'm interested to see how well they do defensively this year. And we are on the way here at the Anthony Svalding Sports Complex. Mullines United in the full blue kit getting the action on the way here. And Jaheem Palmer already set to take the throw in. It's the start of this new season sponsored by Rear Nevew. And Veer United in the Rear Nevew colors, actually in the green and yellow, hoping to make a proper impression here. Let's see what they can do in transitioning. And now the whistle went and it's a free kick that goes the other way. As we said, Veer only scored 15 goals last season and couldn't manage to find a back of the net against this Mullines team in two matches, losing 1-0 and 4-0. Alex Thomas dominating the Veer team. He was at the helm last season as well as they looked to be, he was quite proud of his team. Brown sends his lung inside the area and it's built. And the whistle goes, there was a shot that had to be cleared off the line. But Roger Williams was in some problems there. And yeah, it was bailed out, but that's not a proper clearance at all. And here is a shot from Tevin Scott. And it goes high and wide. William sporting a new hairstyle has to be careful there. Here he was advancing and couldn't quite get there. Here he was sandwiched. Yeah, backing into the goalkeeper as well, good call by the official. And that's certainly rattled him afterwards because he didn't make a good clearance with the free kick that he received. Experience would have informed him just to take his time and resettle. No surprise that Mullines on the front foot right away, they would be very confident against this Veer unit. Yes, it's the first match of the season, but recent results have favoured them. Frankson letting the ball lose to Scott, but Scott loses it right, getting a touch out wide. And Scott having that one deep. Not afraid to recycle again, Mullines United. Taraj Andrews going a little bit too long. There is Linville Rudi Dixon, former national footballer. He's the man in charge of this very united team, defensively stubborn as he was back in the day. Would have been part of that reggae boys squad to the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France. Mullines United looking transition again, touched inside to right and the flag goes up. I believe it was Scott who was initially in an outside position. Good to see both those players linking up early. I'm very interested to see how Scott teams up with Jason Wright. Very intelligent player, Jason Wright. Tevin Scott was at Portmore United last season, scored two goals. Different kind of player to Nicholas Nelson, a lot more physical. Tevin Scott. That's not a quicker forward, but the chemistry between Wright and Nelson was excellent, especially towards the back end of last season. Yeah, they knew each other really well and developed that relationship. 21 goals between the two. Almost sweat to Ricardo Dennis over on the right-hand side, but they'll start again very united. Dennis trying to switch the play and running back to retrieve it from an offside position. They're over on the far side. David Pinot, formerly of Chapleton. Player wearing the number 28. There he is. Still staying within the parish. Chapleton not staying within the Premier League. True story, sad story. They had a dramatic season last season. They had enough quality and resources to give you the impression that they will be back. Lots of resources at their disposal, Chapleton. We hope that continues because as you say, you want to see the competitive nature, especially in tier two, putting pressure on these Premier League teams and not only coming in and making up numbers, but adding something to the Premier League and challenging for spots. So from a Treasure Beach and Lime Hall perspective, that would be something to look out for in this current season. Very united. Trying to transition, there's a foul. Catching Sergini-Frankson. Too much on that one for Palmer from Frankson. Well, United really would like to keep the possession as best as possible it can in order to work out the opportunities. But right now, very united defending certainly good work by Philips to intercept that one. Then this goes all the way back to Roger Williams. We're not going to be speaking about the hairstyle of Roger Williams. You're not? Okay. It's interesting. Certainly can be seen. Oh yeah. Easily identifiable. Very similar to what Colin Anderson had last season. Colin Anderson, the Cavalier forward. Same color. All over the top, an opportunity here for very united. And it's off the bar. Brilliant stuff from the Youngster Pinnock. Over on that far side, cutting inside, taking the shot, but the woodwork was in the way. Nice build-up play. And this is where my lines have been weak over the last couple of seasons, giving up opportunities. Lovely strike. We'll keep her beaten certainly. And luckily for him, the crossbar was there to save him. Brown just running into traffic there and was caught free kick to Milan United in a dangerous spot here, Kristela. Yeah, and Brown from this same kind of area. Can produce. They left back a couple of seasons of Goja Van Brom, but we always thought that going forward, he had a lot more to offer. One of the better passes in the league in my opinion. Yeah, has the ability to score, has an eye for goal, even though it doesn't look like he'll be favored for this kick. Yeah, they're going for the right-footed option, you'd think, of Jeremy Nelson. Brother of Nicholas Nelson, Jeremy, did score four goals last season. Well, the world has been constructed by very united. And we think it's going to be Nelson to go for it. It is Nelson. It's white of the mark. But Jay Williams looked pretty comfortable in goal, though. Not quite a skip across to his right. Such was his confidence, I suppose, that it was always going to miss a target. Started off target. But yeah, the pace behind it was good trajectory, not bad, but just needed to start it on target. Trying to win that one in the middle of the park, Lamar Neal, and he does come away with it. It goes long from Javier Brown, Javier Brown, and Alliance United trying to get out of their own defensive third, and they should be able to do so now. A little bit more confident in their play. Trying to send that one further up the flank, and the whistle goes, and the call goes against very united. I'm a little uncertain as to what exactly took place there, but as long as he's certain, I guess that's all that matters. Was there a flaning arm or some other indiscretion, maybe Brown asked to give chase, and he does in beating the challenge, cuts it back to the top of the box. Right, hesitated, and that moment there, saw him lose the possession because he really didn't have much time. Not a bad game so far. As we're heading towards the 12th minute, again they lose possession in an dangerous spot, but very united they managed to recover quickly. Haven't seen a lot from Enrique Gordon over on that far side. I really do like when he's in the attack in third, was a real standout for Falkland last term. Four goals, love to overlap as well. That's Frankson, by the way, on screen, but yeah, love to overlap, Enrique Gordon. Where's the number five, does Gordon? And yeah, you did say last season, Donald, that it was a matter of time before another club. Trying to play that one first time inside, Scott, and he went down in stages. And we'll get the free kick, Javier Brown. When Brown and Neela are playing together, I think they look a lot more solid in the middle. They do create a lot more as well. They have a good partnership in the middle of the park. Last season, both suffered with injuries, and at times when one was playing, the other was missing for most of the season. But from a fair perspective, both are able to start. Kept inside before the shot went outside. Not regular goal scorers, but both of them do add a bit of solidity and some form of creativity going forward. Eugene Bighead Williams, the coach of Charlie Smith. Having a look, Charlie Smith, of course, unfortunately for them failing to make it through to the second round of the Manning Cup. So he has a lot of time on his hands now. In what was deemed a group of this. Surprisingly, no third-place team coming out of that group. Just Kingston College and Heidel qualifying. Charlie Smith and Calabar out. This one's pretty true, but the outside flag is up. And it's up against Jason Dyer. The former BB Cook captain and striker. Two goals last season for Dyer. You'd be hoping to have a better season this year. Just 15 goals from there. Certainly an area of concern. And when you look at their squad, they haven't added much at that end of the park down there. Well, not any addition with experience as well. Even Youngster Dustin Cohen, who had a good season with Denby in terms of his scoring, not in the squad. Wonderful stuff by Brown as he seeks to switch the play, but Williams is out and should meet up a few more seconds. Also their leading goal scorer from last season, Brian, who ended with, I think, three goals. He's not in the squad either. Lovely touch from Neil. Gets a free kick. Marvin Williams sticking close to him. Knowing how dangerous he can be. Time for the free kick. Very united in the 16th minute. Here it comes. Goals too long. Disappointing expressions there. 50-50 almost a possession. Pretty close so far in this encounter between Malines United and Vera. Well, they are coming forward again. Very united. Graham and now Neil. Play that one through. Just evading. Ricardo Tennis would make that run inside the area. But again, very united with an opportunity here. Free kick to Malines United now. And wasted. Very united. Oh, he couldn't keep that one in play. And the throw will go in favour of Malines United. It's quite a start though. By the team considered to be more defensive minded than the rest. He went down under the challenge. Kevin Scott. Here is Gordon. Has some space to run into. Enrique Gordon tried to put that along the channel. Going on one of those mysterious runs that you like to see, Donald. Gordon, of course, Faulkland relegated. Here is Neil on it. Finding Tennis. So that's a lovely first touch. Neil. Play that one through. It's that opportunity here. The flag finally goes up. And again, denied by the assistant referee. Now he goes the other way. Malines United charging forward. Jason Wright on it. Wright goes down on the edge of the box. Was looking for a call. Referee Perry waves it off. Go defending in the end from Vera United. Definitely see what Jason Wright was trying to do. Realized that two defenders were converging and he just wanted it to go across his body or through his legs and then come inside on to that left foot. But as I said, Vera is stubborn in defense. No surprise considering their coach. Here is Neil. Now it's with Tennis. Tennis back to Neil inside the area. To the byline. This is a big opportunity for Pierre. Can they score? No, they cannot. Malines United again. Rubbing them almost at the doorstep. Oh, they're showing so much attack and intent. So far Vera United in this game. And you wonder if it's only a matter of time before they go ahead. This was the opportunity at the other end. That was an excellent challenge there. Had Jason Wright gotten in on to that left foot you would have been point blank on goal. And based on his form, you'd expect him to finish. So intelligent defending. Very easy to get that wrong as well. You'd have to say good defensive work up both ends. In terms of closing down the opportunity. Not even allowing a shot on target. From a Malines perspective, they certainly need to do a lot better defensively this year. They haven't really added any players into their back line. In terms of new personnel. But you hope a better response. 48 goals they conceded last year. That's just way too much. They're trying to go higher than ninth in the table. Philips. Philips along that line. Philips again. Challenge was deemed to be illegal. Free kick for Vera United now. And Brown behind this. Looking to provide good service. Not a bad one at all. Point blank range. Neil should have done better here. And Maximum Davis. He was relieved there in the end to hold on to it. Yeah, lovely save. Maximum effort from Maximus. Ball coming inside and the header. Into end action. Jason Wright getting there but he was under pressure. Yeah, there's got to be goals in this. For delivery that was beautiful. Towards the six yard area. It wasn't easy for Neil because he was going away from it to kept his eye on it right throughout though. And the header on target Davis in the right position though. To make the save. Pretty open game. Yeah, it has been. Maximus Davis had to come off his line to ticket that one. It was under a bit of pressure. And they may come on down a little bit more pressure now with a little bit more pressure. Very united having the throw over on that far side. And it gardens presently getting the last of the. Sunset on this Monday. And as we approach the dying embers of this afternoon, very united and maligned United. Still locked. Nilo will. Branson had lost out and it goes the other way and Dyer is running forward and he couldn't quite capture it. In his path. But he's got a lot of encouragement from the. United bench. German Douglas in his interview really set the bar low for his team. So I suppose anything. Of a particular standard would be a surprise based on. What was said by the assistant coach. Well, you said you certainly wanted to start bitter this season. And what he means by that when you look at very united in the game. Two draws and three losses. So there's two points from five games really just wasn't good enough. They were behind the ball right away. Well. They're hoping to strike here. And that should go out into touch. Yeah. And to think only three wins in 26 matches last season amazing that they still remain in the Premier League. 12 draws. I think they had the most draws. Second most second most behind Portmore. United had 14 but. That was a stretch for Portmore. As well. Quite a few clean sheets as well. But yeah, 12 draws from the 26 games of three wins. And partly because as we as we've mentioned so many times they have struggled at the attack inside of things. Struggled to score goals. And I would have thought in the transfer window that era primarily is where they would have looked to pay more attention. But it just hasn't happened for them. As you said, still a club with limited resources. And I guess more times are not their phone. The way is not to lose. Which after a while became so relevant for them last season. There's a ding to the edge of the box. Goes down again. Whistle goes though. Before right. Took that punishing shot. It's a. Beautiful afternoon here. With that glow over the field at the moment. And the Williams. Cool on the pressure. The ball didn't quite bounce through in his favor. But he improvised well. Neil. Lovely connection. Collection here by Phillips. Neil will try again. Brown. Darwin Clark. And the Pinnock. And Neil. And Brown. Goes long. Nice touch from Dennis. There's the overlap. Redwell. Ball coming inside. Should have been a much better livery here. Yep. Disappointing from Phillips in the end. Does have a good delivery from those right winged areas. Kimoi Phillips. This time it just wasn't to be. But as you can see in the middle of the park. Neil. And Brown. Great combinations. I like to see when they get a little bit more adventurous. And at least one of them get forward. I think when two of them sit deep. You don't see the best out there. So they might have to stagger their midfield play. As Maximus Davis. Maximus Davis. Is down. Do you smell the jerk going around as well? I am. I am smelling it. I think Jenny is somewhere about the place near him. Jenny. What's happening? There's a chance at getting some of this jerk chicken. And you do. I am with the jerk chicken man. That is always at Arne sir. What's the name? Mark's name. Okay Mark. You've been here for a while. Is this for the first match people? Or the second match people? Because this don't look like it already. I first and the second match man. Okay. So you say come on down. Come on down. Okay wait. So which part of your boss? Boss come on man. So tell me how you prepare the chicken. For these match ups. To come down to Arne sir. What kind of season do they use? My season is a secret season. Secret spice you know. So what happened? If there's not a match on Monday. Where are you selling? Where can the people find you? I have to help a maker. Okay. You hear it. You can get a jerk chicken and you can go and party. But we can't leave this central without talking to the original. Soupy. Everybody comes here. Everybody comes here for soup. I need to know what do you put in the soup. Well I use chicken foot, cow skin, soup, born, and round red, pumpkin, yam, cocoa, sweet potato, dumpling. Yeah. All right. So I need to tell me like a secret. You can give one soup to everybody at Sports Max. Depends on how much. Okay. Well I'll get back to you on that. Well this is the smallest of food central at the corner of the Anthony Spollins Sports Complex. When you reach, if you want a jerk chicken, if you want soup or jerk chicken, you can come down here. Back to you. Yeah. I've lost it to myself. That's what is getting a little dry. But back to the live action here. You didn't miss any football. The water break, or a bit of a water break. I'm not sure if it was an official water break, but the players did refresh themselves. Not with jerk chicken or soup, mind you, but yes. Not that we know of. I'm a bit jealous. A little. Yes. Well, I'm delighted they have been on the back foot for the for the back foot for the majority of the first half as Brown trying to thread the passes throughout. And there was a late challenge coming in on to be pinnock. I believe it was cut down. It was Graham actually. Yeah. Yeah, they hold him in fielder. Yeah. Brown to the liver. There's a dink inside. An opportunity here that's cleared away. Scott was prevalent in Malines United getting out of trouble there. In Malines United, they have a free kick. They've decided to just start from the back. Love to switch over to this side. And the ball played inside the box. The keeper is in no man's land. Brown plays it back to Palmer. Not clear properly. Still a chance here. And he holds on at the second attempt with J. Williams, who certainly comes with a lot of drama in his own penalty area at times. Lucky to get away with that. Just took too long. They'd live instant to decide what he was going to do with Ender Topo. Just thought when J. Brown had Roger Williams committed there, that he should have made that pass quickly, a lot more quickly inside the six yard area instead decided to play it out wide. And I thought he gave the fear United team a chance to recover. Williams looking for an outlet. Asking for movement. Neil out wide. Dennis looking for the give and go. Neal with a shot and then the resulting effort from Sujay Graham going high and wide. Committed more players forward. That's a good sign for Veer United. As you can see Lamar Neal involved as well at the high end of the pitch. Good for Veer, but the finish lacked quality. No surprise it was coming from the defensive midfielder. Need to see more 18-yard action coming from the likes of Riccardo Dennis. Such a talented player remembering from the days at Glenmure, but hasn't lived up to the same promise since he's been in the Premier League. Just one goal last season came very early and then lost his place in the starting line-up. Good to see him back in. I think his talent deserves more production. Well, here's Livingston looking to produce another moment here on the right-hand side. Heading to the baseline goes down and the referee, Terry says that there was an infringement on the play. Three kick to my line, United. Priscilla's thinking that maybe a yellow card. Should be shown. Yeah, no way was he challenging for the ball. So what was Pinoc doing? Playing the man alone. Very lucky to get away with that. That should have been a yellow card to me. Promise in attack, not going after the ball any at all. And the tug on the shoulder. Terry in a lenient move. Yeah, clock. Somebody just got away with one Veer. Maybe the team. Maybe they don't get away with this. It's a free kick from my line, United. They can easily manufacture something here. Five players for them inside the area. Six actually inside the box. The wall constructed by Williams. Like when Brown is a part of the dead ball. Yep. He can deliver that one. Slightly off target though. Disappointing winch for goal. Always was going to be a difficult angle. More should have come of that though. Last season we're complaining so many times about the kids that the players were wearing. But for this season, really impressed by what we are seeing. Numbers very visible. That was I think the major issue. But they have improved that. Even with the four kids in the Sunday afternoon games. It was very obvious that the numbers were easily seen. Livingston going on another run here and the challenge coming in. It's a corner kick. Again, there's a tug. Livingston could create some problems down that right inside. As long as he continues those sort of runs. Clark certainly struggling to keep up. First corner of the game actually. And here it comes and Williams holds on. Jay Williams then trying to set Dennis free. Now he goes the other end. Right. Oh, does well to beat his marker. Right on his left foot. There wasn't a lot of conviction there. Lady in the youth World Cup of 2011. Jason Wright has played a quite a bit of youth football for Jamaica. And that was a beautiful turn. Leading goal square for them last year. Just never looked confident on that left side though. He looked as if he wanted to cut in. And ended up stretching in the end. Low center of gravity. Pace unassuming. Lenny Hyde is in the building. As he preps for his new club. Don't be holding a little bit later on. They'll be facing the home team on a guns. What an assignment for him. And for the team from St Catherine. And there are some members of the home team on a guns yet. They've changed management coaching staff for Tiger Davis. No longer with them. Neither Eric Radimakis, but they do have Xavier Gilbert, who has a lot on his plate, especially at the senior level, the women's level being appointed as the interim coach of the reggae girls. Trying to tuck that one out around the corner, Jason Wright. Game just getting. I didn't floppy the last five minutes or so. But we're united looking to resume quality. And we're free whistle goals. Once more free kick to Mullines United. Gordon certainly need to see more of him on an attack in front. Mullines United again. Neal lost it. Says he was clicked. Ball over the top looking for Wright. Clearance made by Brown. Picked up by Livingston. And no issues there at the back. Dyer to Neal. Neal swinging that over to the right-hand side. It's a good ball to Dennis. Dennis heads to the byline. Sends this one across. Fabulous take. And the hand of the fighter there by Davis. Good goalkeeping from Davis. Couldn't hold on, but luckily for him, he palmed it to a teammate. More like that is what Vera needs to see from Ricardo Dennis. Instinctive, the strike was always a difficult angle, but at least asked a question of Maximus Davis. He is that player that leads to a common life of Vera United in the 18-yard area. And in terms of goal scoring, Ricardo Dennis based on the squad that we see Vera presenting. Brown has lost it, and here's a cross inside. And Gordon shielding that one. He was not under a lot of pressure. Livingston does well to move by one challenge, finding Wright who does well with the hold of play. Now he's seeking support, twisting, turning, looking for options. There's an option out wide. Dinked over the top. Will be able to get near Parma. He does. Sends this one across. Delightful delivery. There's no one at the back post. Former line United though. That was clumsy from Vera. Ball touched inside. And almost went across to Jackie in Parma. It was so advanced. Now here is Brown. Roughly says play on. Nelson Brown on his left. Oh, that's a wonderful challenge coming in. Timed it to perfection, didn't he? And strong in the right place at the right time. And still down after that one. Brown. Excellent challenge. Here was Gevon Brown looking to get onto that left foot. Top challenge from strong. And do remember that Vera last year. She was in national centre back in Fitzroy Commons. From last season was a captain as well. So that was a big loss. He certainly helped them to many of those 12 draws. Yes. Now at Mount Pleasant is Fitzroy Commons. Actually came off the bench in the opener yesterday. I was even surprised at that. But yeah, strong doing the job. Still like to see Brown though. And there was attacking positions Gevon Brown. I think that's a good move from the coaching staff of Malines. Alex Thomas and company. Donald Stewart. Yeah. Is now with Malines United. In the coaching ranks. Yeah. Also part of the Jamaica College coaching staff at the school boy level. There's Brian Meighton. Who is the manager for the Malines team. Former goalkeeper and fuzzy market player as well, Brian Meighton. We've seen a lot of activity in the first half, but no goals to show. With about two minutes remaining. And I reckon that at least three minutes of stoppages will be played. At the very least. Here is Neil. I think very united they've had the better of the chances so far in this first half. They have hit the woodwork as well through Pinnock. They've had a couple of other chances too. Showing a lot of ambition. Something that we haven't been used to seeing. So Jay Graham sends it out wide. It's a long journey to cut inside. And here's an effort from distance. Oh, that didn't miss by much. It's not the first time that he has let fly from distance. The captain, Gevon Brown. Yeah, always stretching though. Didn't get over the ball at all. Ambitious from that kind of range of here, Brown, but not the worst strike. Still think he could have been a little bit more patient. It's a pretty good build up from there on that occasion. And this Maline's defense has shown that they will give up a few opportunities here and there. Well, Maline's United. Can they transition now? We're hearing that three minutes will be played for stoppages. So they went with the least amount. I suppose the officials. Another whistle on the plate. Steve Pinock did enough there. Graham. Clock inside to Brown. Brown again trying to switch the plate. Couldn't find Dennis on that occasion though. Gevon Brown. Oh, that's a lovely take. Trying to pull that one through. And he has to recycle or not. That's a nice turn moving away from two defenders. Then the dink over the top didn't quite work, but they get it back. Nelson feeds it out wide to Livingston. Could this be a chance for Maline's United? No, wasted. Story of the half so far. He knows it Livingston. Poor, poor delivery in the end. But yeah, Maline's spreading the ball well. Gevon Brown, a handful in the middle of the park on that left-hand side for the Maline's United team. Yes, Alex Thomas who has some national football under his skin as well. Did play one game for the senior team and was the captain of the junior team for some while. The reggae boys, Alex Thomas. Yeah, he was astounding at the junior level, I felt. Maline's United settled at the back. Very united pressing, but beating the press and Wright is so good at what he does. Just getting Brown into the action and Brown tucking that one into space. And Wright not being allowed to turn on that occasion, but he progresses the play so well. Gevon Brown who just off target there and that is even more off target from Marvin Williams. Just wondering if the reason Jason Wright left it was, he heard a call from Tevin Scott who was kind of shadowing the run and allowed it to go through. Well, like you, very high Jason Wright. And as I said, those were in those link-up positions from old Marion, like Alex Thomas. Yeah, he went into an outside position there and that has been acknowledged by referee Perry. Not too far away from the half-time. In fact it's here now that we've seen enough of the first half. Not a bad game at all. There have been quite a few chances for both teams. Very united, maybe a little bit surprising based on what we saw from them last season. A lot more enterprising in this first half. And it's going to be interesting to see the story of the second half when that gets underway in less than 15 minutes time. But after 45, it's goal is here in the San Antonio Sporting Sports Complex with Human Lines United and Veer United. A photo on the home of champions in terms of the UEFA Champions League on Sports Max tomorrow afternoon, 2 o'clock, 3 p.m. in the Eastern Caribbean, Sevilla up against Arsenal. And I'm sure the Gunners fans in particular looking forward to that one. So to Inter Milan against FC Salzburg on Sports Max 2 at the same time tomorrow on Wednesday. Well, this is going to be an absolute classic, I think, Paris Saint-Germain against AC Milan, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock in the Eastern Caribbean. That's going to be on Sports Max as well on Sports Max 2. Barcelona and Shakhtar Donetsk could meet for the first time, I believe, in the Champions League Wednesday, 2 p.m., 3 p.m. ECT. Cristiano not beating me out of that one at all. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong, but I think that is the case. Barcelona against Shakhtar Donetsk. Yeah, that's it for the promotions. And just to remind you of the scoreline here, Milan tonight and Vir United locked at Nile Hall after 45 minutes. And this is where I get Cristiano involved again, and he should help me out in terms of describing what happened in that first half. Who do you think had the advantage? I think it was a pretty even contest. I thought in terms of how the building of the attacks, I thought no surprise that Milan's looked a little bit better. I'm afraid the ball a bit more. But yeah, Vir United did get a couple of opportunities of their own. There you see Stefan Duar, who will take charge. He's on the right-hand side. Stefan Duar, referee at the FIFA level as well. He'll be in charge of the Arnett Dumbledore holding game. And one of his longtime trainers in Peter Prendergras, former FIFA referee, FIFA instructor, FIFA trainer as well in the house, having a look at what's going on. But yeah, I will agree with you that Vir United did show more this season than what we saw last season in terms of enterprise going forward. They were pushing more players forward. At times it was Javier Brown pushing a little higher. Sometimes Lamar Neal and it helped them. And they came closest after hitting the crossbar and a couple of strikes, especially from Riccardo Dennis as well. So yeah, I think encouraging for both teams. I think the team talk from both teams' perspective would be a positive one. In other words, continue what you're doing in terms of getting forward, but you want to be a little bit more clinical. Good to see Fabian McCarthy in the squad list as well for double holding from his broken leg, which put him out of half of last season. Yeah, pretty much. He was a huge loss. Don't expect him to be in the starting lineup, but great to see that he's in the squad. One of the best midfielder in the country, defensive midfielder Fabian McCarthy. First surprise that he hasn't had more caps behind his name for the national team. Especially with the fact that it's a position that is necessary to be filled in the national team. He is so good, very calm on the ball. Let's see, Arnett. That's Peter Harrison, the custodian. Yeah, goalkeeper Peter Harrison. He'll be coming into action eventually. Well, teams are getting ready to make their mark for the second half. So interesting to see, interesting to see Peter Harrison just sitting there. As we said, he will be in action soon. We wonder where, because he was the main man between the sticks for Mullines United last season. But, and on Luka this season, Maximus Davis was on the bench for the majority of last season. Preferred. There's Fabian Reid, otherwise known as Paco Blacks. We'll be leaving tomorrow. He won't be playing for Arnett Gardens this season. Let me just say, up until January, because he's supposed to go up to India. We hear Fabian Reid. Of course, it's going to be a big loss for Arnett Gardens without their top marksman. Huge loss, was it? 16 goals last season for Fabian Reid in the premiership. Brilliant season it was. Third highest goal scorer, I believe, at the end of it all? Yeah, at the end of it all. Behind, of course, the likes of Cervantes Stewart and Colin Anderson, both playing their trade overseas now. And Fabian Reid, the third highest scorer, will be leaving in short order. Jordan Fletcher, a year and a half ago, did take his football to India and had great success in the Indian premiership. And now Fabian Reid will be heading in that direction. Certainly, wish him all the best. Not quite as fanciful as the Indian Premier League in cricket, of course. Yeah, but great to see that, you know, Jamaican and Caribbean football are getting opportunities outside of the Caribbean as well. He would have been used to opportunities outside of the Caribbean. I remember he was in the TNT Premier League as well. Which is in the Caribbean. Which is in... I heard outside of Jamaica. But I get the point. I get the point. Thank you very much, Chris Taylor. Yeah. But he has had quite a bit of exposure, as he said, at the back end. You'd think at the back end of his career, but scored 16 goals last season, really rejuvenated. They are, no, they aren't in front line. They do play like Arsenal sometimes, to be fair. But yeah, more and more players getting opportunities overseas. Great to see learning new cultures, new languages, new styles of football. Right. And it can only add to the landscape in Jamaica. Yeah. But a lot of these players, when you ask them about their ambition, they often speak about travelling overseas and playing overseas and getting the proper financial benefits that come with travelling and... And a lot of times the Jamaican Premier League teams have necessarily been able to facilitate that in terms of the same financial rewards. Oh, yeah. That I love that the other leagues have. Obviously, everybody wants to go and play in the English Premier League and so on. You've just seen to John Richards, you know, get through with the Chelsea Academy, but that opportunity not there for everyone, and there are a lot of other leagues that, as you said, you can build a good professional career. Well, the second half is now underway, and immediately there's a coming together that requires some medical attention, maybe. Just got the wind knocked out of him, I felt. But Jason Dyer getting a talk into from referee Perry. It was a hard blow. Frankson taking a hit. Took it well. Back on his feet. Fear, applying the press. Maline Genaiti doing well to get out of their own defensive third. And here they are looking to transition once more. And that's put into touch. Maline Genaiti would want to give a little bit more in the attack in third. I guess it can be said that they conceded more chances in that first half, very united looking sprightly in the first 45 minutes, which is not a term that we would use often last season when you speak about the type of football that they actually played very united. But also that the impression that usually a team, whether they be the new boys or an unfancy team, that they usually tend to run out of steam in the latter part of the season. But fear last year started out pretty slowly and then managed to be more solid as the season progressed, picking up a number of drawn results. Here they are trying to make their way into the attack in third and those thoughts were showing. And having seen enough and given a lot of blies, so to speak, referee Perry shows he had a card to, I think it's Sujay Graham who is in the book now. Yeah, the defensive midfielder. That will be painful. Taraj Andrews on the receiving end. A quiet last season, Taraj Andrews from Real Mono Football Club. Yeah, Real Mono, of course, the lower leagues of Jamaica's football. Major league. There are some really good teams at the pedigree, the lower leagues, we're talking about the likes of Real Mono. Santos would be a big thing if Santos manages to get back to the highest level of club football in Jamaica. The names sound fancy. Boys Town as well, another team in the lower leagues. Yeah, Boys Town has spent a lot of time in the Premier League. They did. Got demoted in the late 90s, early 2000s and got back into the Premier League, I think it was 2003 since then I've been demoted again. All the time they were led by one Andrew Price. Of course, Carl Brown have been involved with Boys Town from the football aspect. Lindell Wright from the cricket side. A former manager of the national cricket team that's a lovely touch forward from Livingston. Looks up, sees some support. Was there a handle ball here? That would have been cruel if it was given, I feel. And now it goes the other way. And Dennis Winsett twisting, turning. Dennis finally goes down. A free kick awarded to Vera United. Good play by Dennis, holding up the ball well. Winning a free kick in a dangerous position. But yeah, good skill by Livingston at this end. Look at this from Livingston. Nice skill, good pace, but the pass here. Not good enough. Definitely never a penalty. It certainly hit the hand of Brown, towards a maligns player by any means. That pass from Livingston to have been disappointing. Had enough blue shirts around to find one and couldn't. Or even probably go himself. Had a few yards to work with. But he still remains a dangerous outlet. But it really has to add the assistant goals to his name to be feared. In order to be feared in this league. Free kick in position A1 for Vera United. Three players behind it as Maximus Davis. Make sure that his wall is set up properly. Five players inside the wall. It is going to be Neil of the Woodwork again. Vera United inside the area. Headed out, but not too far out. Kept in play and maligns United with the clearance. And that's gone out into touch. But for the second time in this game, Vera United finding the Woodwork. Yeah, Neil always talented from the dead ball situations. Good technician. And yeah, Davis was in trouble. And yet again, as you said, the frame of the goal bailing him out. Unfortunate for Neil who holds his head. Again Vera United with the best opportunity of the half. Ball switched over to the right-hand side. Livingston should get Vera and does beat his marker. Vera might be in trouble here. It's Livingston. Foglio saved from Williams. He had to go full stretch and react it so quickly to get the hand on it. What a save that was by the Virgo-Sodian denying Livingston. Well, he heard your news flash this time. Decided not to pass but to go his own. And that was the right decision from Livingston on this occasion. Good strike. Good technique. Williams equal to the task. The game may have gone into a next gear here. And here is Gordon. Livingston finding Gordon again. Cutting inside and then the interception made at the vital time by Steve Pinup. As we take a look at the opportunity there for Livingston. Good skill, good pace again by Livingston. And then opening up his body well to engage that right foot. This time no pass but the shot. Oh, so close. There has to be a goal in this game. Surely. Ain't no way this is ending goal-less. First match of last season for Vera United ended at one all. First match of the season for Mullines last season ended in a 2-1 loss. So both scored in their opening games. It was a tough start as well for Mullines. Vera United started with two draws from their first five matches and three losses. Mullines United had three losses as well from their first five games but they had two wins. Either very hot or very cold. Not much in between. Pinup was in the way. And now Brown finding Graham. Graham needing some help. And Phillips couldn't get by his marker. Brown touching that one inside. And Nelson plays it forward. This could be an opportunity for Mullines United. Right. It does really well. What a turn that was. Jason Wright trying to slip that one through and Pinup gets back there. But the ball is kept alive and a free kick given. Timbit Scott was cut down. And it's a free kick to Mullines United now. Yeah. They will have their turn at the dead ball. But now they are in a position to where Lamar Neal had his free kick. Very dangerous. Just one day. This will be Jeremy Nelson at Kin who didn't hit the target the first time out. Will Jason Wright show some interest? I'm thinking possibly Jason Wright here. Although Nelson is the one who's spotted this, just outside the D. Enough space for the ball to go over the wall the bar Williams has come up big so far in the second half and maybe this is the calling of Jason Wright with a four-man wall set up by Veer United who will take it. It's in his range as well. It is. It is Jason Wright. Good trajectory on it from right but just over dipping but not enough in time. Williams was concerned. To be fair Williams usually looks concerned but I think he had that covered. Flicked on header there and that was the most convincing clearance and freaking cool against Dennis holding his leg in the process. I think he should be okay. There's a challenge. Dennis was definitely trying to win that one and committed the infringement. Oh that's a clumsy challenge that came in from Brown. The yellow card out and Perry showing it to the captain who said no hard feelings to his counterparts. Yeah not the best challenge from Brown. That's had his fair share of cards last season Brown. Yeah he does the dirty work. So I think he's an integral component to this fair team. Nelson with a free kick. Was looking for runners. They do get the corner kick maligned United. Here's the corner kick for maligned United sent inside at the back post and the whistle goes free kick to fear United. maligned United. Just winning it back but they have lost it. Pinoc was in the way. Graham back to Pinoc sending this one to the edge of the box and there's a shot well wide of the mark. Well there is Carlos Brown national cricketer. He's actually the brother of Javon Brown. Played for the Jamaica franchise cricket team. Actually missed out on a selection to the Super 50 but plays in the 4-day team Carlos Brown and applies his trade at St. Catherine cricket club. Very talented batsman played for Jamaica at the under 19 level as well and an avid supporter of his brother Javon Brown who so far today has had a really good game in the first 59 minutes or so. The number 22 for the maligned team. Did see another cricketer yesterday in De Manisuel. Yes. Who now leads Lyme Hall in their quest. There's Javon Brown so we're leading Lyme Hall in their quest for good progress in the re-interview national Premier League. Carlos has played a bit of football as well when he was at Ingewood the brother of Javon and as you said in fact both of them big supporters of each other. I've seen Javon quite a bit at cricket matches and the other hand he says he doesn't play any cricket at all. Oh that's a lovely ball played through. What a challenge that is. That was a delightful challenge. Time to perfection. Yeah. From Franksson. I'm sure it's Franksson. It is Franksson. Well done. No complaints from the defensive midfielder Graham. We've seen some well-timed challenges right throughout this game at either end of the park. And this time it's Franksson. Critical. For defensive midfielder Graham does get forward quite a bit. He does. In the fear attacks. It's not the first time he's found himself into the box.

I believe that's their first corner of the game. First corner in the game came late in the first half from Malay United. But now it's Veer's turn. What can they do with this delivery? Not a whole lot. But turned out to be some trouble. And Jason Wright looking for options and needed a better pass from the striker. Pinnock doing well considering Neil looking to stretch the play. It's a lovely find out wide. Dennis could quite keep up the momentum. Neil with some space to work with. Neil just ran out of ideas. Dyer trying to keep it alive. And there is another free kick awarded to Veer United. Another chance. Will it be this time? Will it be Neil who hit the frame the last time? I thought Neil couldn't start out his feet. Not much in that but Dyer sold it well. No, well Dyer earned the fold. But I thought before that when Neil had him run through that he couldn't start out his feet in terms of getting a strike away. This is a little bit further out. I think it could be Neil. Brown as well has skill from distance but I think Brown has said maybe this is too close for him. Dennis also has the power in his kick. Not sure if he has the finesse though but let's see. I would go Neil. Neil? Dennis Graham is the one who has now walked away. Who will take it? It is Neil again. No, it's wide on the mark. But Davis scrambled to his right. Desperate to cover that post. Great free kick from Neil. That was excellent work. Davis gets a touch there. I thought he made a save actually on that free from me. From Alexi Perry I think that should be a corner. Well, not much argument from the three-year team so it's almost as if they were on-sighted as well. That was giving up the ball in a dangerous spot. Here is Tevin Scott or almost Graham Pinnock rather. Davion Pinnock needing some assistance and it's no time to hear what's happening in the stands. We're hearing drummers. We saw some cheerleaders earlier and I think Jene is going to join the gang. Jene? She sounds out of breath. Well, she does sound out of breath but to be fear she has been very fit in the past. She just needs to change what she's wearing and really join the gang. Well, she was in rhythm. She was in rhythm. No, she's not a bad dancer. I won't say she's a bad dancer. She's okay. She has a one style but she's okay. One style. She will find you later. Yeah, I won't be here. Yeah, you're not missing any football. We guarantee it. There's still a lot more to come. Gordon, we're into the byline then. Challenge coming in. Has that been disappointing for you that we haven't seen more from Gordon getting forward? You just think it's the dynamics maybe of the team? Maybe. That hasn't allowed him. Livingston has dominated that side. Here's the ball coming inside the area. Williams comes out to collect. There has been a change made by fear united. So I think Graham has gone out. The defensive midfielder. No, I think it's actually Pinnock who was actually on the turf in pain. Pinnock? Yeah, I think it was Davion Pinnock who, the former Chapleton player who has been taken out. Yeah, because Graham is still on the park. There he is, Graham. The whistle goes and the other card shown to to Frankson. That was careless to say the least from Frankson. Okay, so we kind of preempted what took place just now as we confirmed the other card shown to Sergeine Frankson. Now the chain is going to be made by fear. And you were right. Pinnock is off. Yeah, delaying clock for places here. What a standout he was at Central last season. Central high school in the Costa Cup went all the way to the final. There's Fakibi Farkasen, very influential player. Farkasen, a lot expected of him. I think he has come on for to J Graham. Well, Neil sends it out wide almost. Frankson or rather Livingston was a one trying to get forward just now on the right hand side. Neil lost it in the end just here to Jason Wright. Wright, can he make them pay? Oh, that's a challenge on him going to referee Perry from strongwood stuck in the leg and Dennis has to be careful here. I'm a bit surprised that he won that free kick. Well, let's see. I actually thought that Jason Wright over run the ball a bit. Let's see it here. I think it's a combination. You know, it is a combination. He got the ball, but he's kept right on his foot. Foot went over the ball. Yeah, foot went over the ball. For those who watch the English Premier League, maybe similar to what Curtis Jones did a couple of weeks ago. He put his foot on the ball first, but then went over the ball on to the player. I mean, Jones was dismissed with a red card. This is certainly not a red card challenge, but yeah. Well, my lines tonight, they have an opportunity now and this angle suits Brown. Yeah, I think so too. The four man wall set up by Roger Williams and Brown with the effort. Oh, that's disappointing. Again, it's over the top from a Milan's perspective. They're united. They have hit the crossbar twice. Milan's have had a lot of dead ball opportunities in telling areas. Just haven't fine tuned their finishes. Another one over the top. Tim in Scott. Oh, he has been quite in the second half is going to be taken out of the the free. Don Simpson. Coming on the number nine for my lines. United another change as well. Johnny Fleming's replacing Jevon Brown. Big surprise that Brown was taken off. One of the best players on the park on my lines. United one if it's a fatigue setting in. Yeah, or injury. Doing some good work in the early stages there. Thorn Simpson. There's a big striker hoping to live up to his name against this defense from very united Nelson does well. Freak it goes in favor of very united Alvin strong goes down again like the very not happy. It was a challenge. There's a yellow card produced armor. The recipient. Yep, Jane Palmer. Yellow card shown to my lines. United number 13. Phillips can't get there at stages. This game just burst into life. Is this one of those stages? Maybe with about less over 15 minutes to go before stoppage is Gordon was fouled. Hasn't quite had it his own way. Hasn't seen a lot of the ball though. Enrique Gordon for folk and he did play in a in a back five situation. So he was he was more of a wing back for them. There is pointing that one long. That's a good ball. And there is a Simpson playing it inside the area. Not a bad pass by Simpson at all. Unfortunately right couldn't turn, but that was good work from Simpson using his body. Well, he's trained. He lost it. Gordon with the dink and now the header out wide looking for Livingston. Nelson ball played inside. Not clear property. Simpson is effort blocked by strong and it goes behind for a corner kick. It's a third corner kick coming up for my lines. United. Here's a ball inside headed away. Well, not really. Right was trying to settle and take the shot. Now here's the effort that comes through through to Williams. Almost found Dyer there. That one is booted into touch. Yeah, he's going to need some attention in the aftermath of that collision. As we take a look at the sportsmax at moment of the game. And here it is. And it's Livingston who broke free here and firing that one inside and Roger Williams with a proper save there. Livingston driving that one full force and Williams was pretty much equal to the task. Yeah, wonderful stuff. That's our sportsmax app moment of the game courtesy of the sportsmax app. They're still getting some treatment. Clear resumes. He did Simpson and he got the free kick in his favor. Trying to move quickly, but it's wasted there by Nelson. Johnny Fleming's unable to advance to the liking of Nelson. We're making another change here. Jason Dyer is coming off. Shaquille notice comes on for the striker. Again, some good work at the back by Alu and strong covering most areas along that backline really well. The center back coming inside from Livingston and that's put into touch. There's liver inside and it was poured in the end from out wide. Oh, that's a lovely ball through the keeper's office line but Simpson on the side of a very united, but he should have done better here. Nice pass through the middle again and Simpson. He has had really good energy about him since coming on to the park and that strike just wide. Had that been on target, I think you would have found the back of the net. Certainly think that Williams would have been beaten to the near post, especially with the height of that strike. And yet, Simpson continues to cause trouble since his inclusion. Oh, that's given up too easily. Neil switching the play. Flag stays down. Farkasen, Fakibi Farkasen getting his teammates now involved. That's a lovely turn, but the shot straight to go keeper Davis again, the ball over the top. The flag stays down. Wright was trying to get there. Fleming's. Well, the whistle goes and it's a free kick against Wright, who is looking to give some assistance there after that collision. Fear with the possession and went down easily there, did Farkasen. Oh, that's a lovely touch from right out wide and Livingston is bearing down on the to the byline looking for options. Livingston twisting, turning, setting that one inside. Still an opportunity here for my lines. Fleming's Fleming's straight to Roger Williams. Piling on the pressure. My lines could go keeping though from Williams. Almost feels the fear united the on the rope here in the final stage of this game. And my lines United trying to provide the knockout punch Nelson inside to Wright. Oh, that's lovely skill. Back to Nelson. Nelson out wide. The ball coming inside from Livingston and the header from Nelson. Not a lot of power behind it. And another blue wave. We're seeing that challenge on Fleming's illegal. I get the chip inside the area and the Simpson couldn't do a lot with it and Neil and Farkasen was clipped. Jaheem Palmer has to be careful. He's on a card. I wonder if he knows that crowd building all the time. Eager for the second match to get on the way. He's expected to be a really good one on its gardens up against Don't Be Holden. And there is the Arnett contingent at least part of it. Well, no, actually a part of the Arnett Guards contingent Damon Hyatt. One titles with Arnett Gardens. Yeah, his face is synonymous with Arnett Gardens still, but now with the Don't Be Holden camp. There is Eric Erdogan, who is the main man between the sticks for Arnett Gardens now. Yeah. Between the two fixtures, seven goals produced last season. A 4-2 win for Dumbled holding. And then Arnett Gardens with a hard fought 1-0 victory. Fabian Reed we know. He won't be here today. Well, he will be here, but he won't be playing. Yeah. Picked up by Pinoc. But is it then sorry for Route 66, Donovan Clark? Based on the game, quite surprising we haven't seen a goal. And then when most person see the teams on the list, they'll be saying, how can you be surprised that it's very united playing? Yeah, well, it's a different fear to be fear when you compare them to last year and the outlook that they had. It was 15 goals last season, but fortunately, for them so far, the goal scoring has... Livingston plays it through to Wright. Oh my goodness me, you don't expect that finish from him. Yeah, well over the top. Hasn't had his shooting boots on today. Jason Wright. In fact, he's yet to, well, he did hit the target with his first attempt, which was that weakly put it a shot in the first half. I'm not sure if that could call me. But yeah, hasn't been his clinical best. Good link of play. Lots of touches around the 18, but not that definitive strike yet. German Teddy Johnson is in the stands. He's in the red. Of course, Teddy Johnson is not with Tivity Gardens anymore. Not the head coach there. Well, the substitute has come off. Farkasen, both played forward in the attacking third. What can very united do with this? Burton and now Neil. Well, the finishing has been disappointing to say the very least, Kristela. Yeah, it's been very consistent. And it's disappointment. Yeah, first game of the season, you do expect a bit of rust, a bit of an easiness, maybe inside the area will take a while for the teams to click. Well, here they are again. Very night. It's a key notice was fouled. Here's an opportunity for peanut peanut. Since it's one inside and the hard clearance, Paul sent high inside the area. We're supposed to have a discussion about who the player of the matches. But that's a wonderful turn. Here's a dink inside the area headed away. And that's is going to be collected by Davis. You have to look at the back line of both these teams if you are to select a matter of the match here. Played through the black stays down. The deflected effort straight to Roger Williams. Yeah, Williams has been solid as well. Much in it between these two teams. Both goalkeepers have made a few saves as well. You'd have to say that coming into this, my lines would have been slight favorites. Based on what they would have done last season, they did the double over here United finished high on the table and much better in terms of goal scoring. So they would have come in with a slight edge, but they're united. I've kept them out. 37 goals last season compared to just 15 for fear. And actually, we're probably come closest if you're to analyze the 90 minutes. Yeah, I think so. Because Brown has also been instrumental for very night. He talked about their number eight, Javier Brown. But here is Jason Wright, the Dink to Livingston. Oh, that's a wonderful well. Must have just been outside the area. Almost looked like it was on the line. And it's going to come out and shown to strong. I actually thought he got the body. No, but let's see on the replay here. I think strong was favored to get there. Livingston is so I think that's a really good challenge. Actually, strong is at an excellent game, too. You remember that that was a fear challenge from strong. For me, this game is the second time that he has made it. Well, obviously penalized for this one, but it's between strong and Williams for me, especially if the score line remains the same, I would be leaning towards fear United in terms of picking up that award. Denying this maligns team on paper have more in attack. They offer more. And they have had more production. Yeah, I think strong, very unlucky to be penalized for that. And the card is out again. Dennis has been offering a lot of lip service this evening. He's been chirping a lot. Now they have to concentrate here in defending this one by all watch four minutes of subpages are up and maligns United could try and win this one at the death here. They have committed players forward. It's Nelson behind this one. Can he be the provider in chief for this set piece? Two men wanted front of him. And here we go. Maligns looking to steal this one. And that's headed behind. All kick. It's a goal kick awarded. Yeah, offer blue shirt in the end. Strong who is down, who committed himself as well. Let me tell you, strong has had a really good game. In fact, strong might be aging it over Williams at this point because we do remember that opportunity for Jason Williams. Jason right in that first half. It was drawn as well. And then there was another overlapping run. I think being made by Livingston if memory serves me correct, where he put in a sliding challenge strong. So in fact, if you really good 18 yard opportunities that maligns have had strong has been in the thick of about three or four of them. And he shouldn't have been at fault at the challenge. It was a fair challenge. It was a fair challenge. Yeah, I would award it to him. Yeah, I think strong right up strong Eugene still in the house Eugene Williams. Been involved with this club on it gardens for such a long time. At the high school level, won as a captain with Charlie Smith. Now the head coach Charlie Smith expected to go deep in the Manning Cup this season not to be falling at the first round but an avid football supporter. Generally, Eugene Big Head Williams affectionately called Big Head for he knows that. Well, he knows but I'm not sure if our viewers are aware of the situation. They may have been lying about the sweet as we speak. The Caribbean do have some electric nicknames, don't they? Indeed. Yes. And sometimes very basic and and quite to the point. Indeed. There's a famous soup. Donald, you have received your cup as yet? Not as yet. Ah, it's running short. Look at that. Oh, she's deep into the into the it has to go a little bit lower. I think to get the proper the proper soup. You know what I'm saying? Can't be skimming anything off the top. So a little bit lower and then I'll indulge. Maybe. I need a personal assistant though. So maybe I'll have to get one. Oh, that was an anticlimactic end to this game. And it's a goal is a fear. Yet again. And it's all squared between these two. Mullines United and very united. Both teams pretty much gave what they got. Mullines United had the momentum closer to the end of this one. But again, they couldn't convert. Same story for very united who started off strongly though. But they couldn't take their chances. Actually, they did hit the woodwork on a couple of occasions. The coaches pretty satisfied for the opener. And the fact that they share the spoils. Consider them fortunate with it. After 90 minutes in a lull, Mullines United and fear united. Well, as we take a look at the full time highlights there and this one hit the bar pin up with the effort there. The scouting inside on his right foot and then the woodwork was in the way. And then that effort was wide of the target and Roger Williams who would have more difficult circumstances. Neil with the header saved by Davis. And then Williams was in some trouble there. Brown laying it back and then the lofted ball inside the area Livingston. Yeah, couldn't couldn't really find the corner and right with a wonderful turn there and could produce much from his left foot. And that was another big chance for Mullines United and Dennis making his way inside the area. That was a strong hand coming in from Davis. And then this free kick from Lamar Neil hitting the woodwork and they came close. They came so close as there's an opportunity. It's fired inside Livingston with a wonderful hit for Jay Williams with a fabulous save. And then this effort from Jason Wright going over the top. Livingston again involved. Send this one across. Flemings couldn't quite get there. Or Flemings is the one with the resulting effort after Thorne Simpson couldn't get there initially. As we take a look at the full time highlights. Mullines and I with 22 shots. 8 on target very night. He was just three shots on target from Vier 18. 19 fouls committed by Vier 15 by Mullines United. Quite a few yellow cards were shown in this one. Five. I do see the possession 52% in favor of Mullines United. Roger, congrats on the man of the match award. I see you're sporting a new hairstyle for the new Premier League. Tell me about it. Well, it does our instinct. We don't themselves make a start off with a new hairstyle, new design and my flavor or more. Not necessarily the three points for you today, but still a point. How important was it for you to keep a clean sheet and this dangerous Mullines attack keep them away? Well, I was planned for this game from overnight. Dream about it. Think about it. My first game against Mullines. We don't tell myself how to start off with a clean sheet and so on. How do you feel about the team's performance generally and what do you expect for this season for Vier United? Well, I feel confident about my team. I feel very pleased with my team performance. All that would have did not get the three points. But we're going to go to the training ground on the third point because we have a aim for going to the top six, but it takes each game at a time. Keep doing well. Well, Roger, congrats on the man of the match. Enjoy the hairstyle. We certainly are. Thank you. Roger Williams, their man of the match goalkeeper for Vier United, new blonde topped look and Alex Thomas comes into frame. Alex, not necessarily the three points you would have wanted, but at the end of it, a point, would you think fair result based on the proceedings? Fair result enough. You know, first game of the season, that's a good way to start, a one point half, you know, and then we move on to the next phase. Using Javon Brown in a more advanced role, we noticed this season, we thought that added something in terms of the middle of the park. Could Linko play generally with the team, with Jason and company, but that cutting edge in the front line, not quite there today? Not quite there today and not quite there as yet. You know, it's early part of the season and we know we have a lot of work to be done. So, you know, go back to the playing pitch to fix everything. All right, we've talked about the top end. We know that Mollin is very expressive up front. One of the things last season you wanted to improve was those 48 goals you conceded. How do you feel now about keeping a clean sheet? First game of the season, how did the defence line look to you? That is a blessing to keep our clean sheet. Not only the defence line, but the overall team was set up defensively and organised and well done to the team. All right, good performance today. We look forward to seeing what you come with in the coming weeks. Thank you very much. Alex Thomas there, head coach of Mollin's, did the double over the very united team last season. This time just able to come away with a point. Well, Linvol, you started with a draw last season. You start with a draw this season. Talk to me through this, these 90 minutes. Well, a good 90 minutes for us. You know, I think we start really well, you know, start an eye in the first half. Yet created some chances, you know, should at least take one of them, you know, but so the near target game and I love what I see from my team and hopefully, you know, we can continue on that train. On air, we spoke about it as well that last season, Virdin created a lot of opportunities. He only scored 15 goals, but this season, it seemed a lot more innovative. You got the ball into wide areas. You had more players getting into the 18 yard box. You came closest in terms of scoring, but just couldn't find the back of the net, so that's his promising. Yeah, well, yeah, so that's a plus for us. That's a plus for us because we've been working this season, getting numbers inside of the box, you know, get, create opportunity and score, you know, but today, you know, we're scoring boots never hard, but, you know, again, work in progress and we really love what we see today and, you know, we can build on that. And of course, a maligns team that would have done the W over you last season to even come away with some positivity is added things going forward. Talk to me as well about the resources in the team. How are you happy with the complement of the squad? Do you think that these players can get it done for you? Yes, you know, and we have a few players again, you know, in the back door, you know, coming in and of course, you know, the young study from schoolboy will be a part of it soon. Part of the trope and so on. So we like the new close up play that we have this time and, you know, hopefully it can bring us a far away in the league. There's a smile on your face. There's positivity in your attitude. So we look forward to our growing very united, all the best Linvolk, congrats. Thank you very much, my brother. So, Nilo here at the Anthony Sporting Sports Complex with Team Beline United and very united here. A choose is called and both teams with a point after this fixture.
