 the second edition of Monday night football for this 2023-24 season and we're live from the National Stadium Eastfield for these matchups. And the first up on the agenda, Maline's United against Anid Gardens. Maline's United have been in the league for quite a few seasons now so the head twit between them and Anid Gardens, it's not a long rich history but I can tell the last five times they met they didn't necessarily go into their favor just the three all draw which was an exciting affair that encounter a couple of seasons ago but really and truly they haven't beaten Anid Gardens in eight outings and the first time that they met in the 2019-2020 season was the only time that they would have beaten the jungleists but since then no such look as they've either drawn or lost in fact they have that while they have lost the majority of those fixtures or four draws rather and losing three while winning just the one Maline's United. Chris Taylor is with me in the commentary box, I'd like to know your thoughts on this matchup between Maline's United and Anid Gardens. I think it will be a lot closer than previous encounters where Anid Gardens have totally dominated in 5-1 the last time they met but when you look at this Anid Gardens team they have lost so many players so many instrumental players they are leading GoScore, Fabian Reed, Nomaal they are captain Romeo Guthrie no longer with the club the instrumental creator Inajuma Johnson not there so it's a new look Anid Gardens team who are trying to find their footing and Maline's a team that has competed well in the last fixture last week you saw a lot of improvements in terms of capability they themselves have lost a big player Nicholas Nelson who partnered Jason Wright to many goals last season in fact over 20 goals between them Jason Wright and Nicholas Nelson so I would like to think that Maline's actually the gap not that big today I wouldn't be surprised if it is decided by the art goal well you spoke with David Gilbert earlier today in terms of his expectations for this game and for the season you would have an understanding of what he anticipates it's not the first time that he would be under pressure in a short space of time so to speak he's had to do something similar with the reggae girl setup having to step up to the plate at the last moment but know that he's on the sidelines for his first game of the season what are you anticipating from him? I think he's had a lot on his plate as I said he's quite distracted so I think in this setup he might very much rely on the likes of Decoy, Williams and Garnet Lawrence as well to guide him I'm not sure how much of the training sessions he would have been present at David Gilbert just because of his national responsibilities but based on how he was speaking he was encouraged in terms of what he has seen in a training camp, yes they have lost a lot and him being appointed was a big deal as well but as you said he's been around a long time quite a bit of experience, not a lot of experience in the Premier League though so I think you'll still be finding at this level. Well, Anagans in their full white kit and it's a wonderful kit isn't it not their traditional full red and black but they'll be going up against Mullines United in their full blue kit and both of these teams wanting to show a lot after playing out to a couple of golden draws on match day one really wanting to get out of first gear so to speak and really kickstart their campaign this season. And you're talking about two of the top four scoring teams last season Anagans there was a leading scorer last season with 48 goals and Mullines were in fourth yet unable to score and it's because of that talent that they have lost up front, the cohesion up front it's a changed look in both front lines and it will take them a while before it becomes seamless. Well these are the officials for today's game, Christopher Mason is the man in charge assisted by Joshua Jackson and Shereen Alain. Stefan Dua is the fourth official Jason Wright of course is the captain of Mullines United on the right and we already spoke about Joel Cunningham, captain of Arnett Gardens. So this is our Mullines United will line up they have made a couple of changes to their starting line up and we see Tajay Kupa coming in to the bat the number three alongside Jaheem Palmer, Taraj Andrews and Enrica Gordon, Maximus Davis of course is the one between the sticks in the middle of the patch of Alon Brown on the left Rashon Livingston on the right Jeremy Nelson and Marvin Williams down the middle behind Stryker's Jason Wright and Thorne Simpson in a 4-4-2 Crystala. Yeah 4-4-2 Thorne Simpson preferred up front to Tevin Scott just trying to find that combination for Jason Wright who couldn't quite get going in the first game, had some good looks Jason Wright was able to convert. Tajay Kupa the 19-year-old from Trelawney gets a big start Richardo White is now between the sticks instead of Eric Edwards they have a back four Philando Wing, Rashon Amos, Joel Cunningham and Deandre Cunningham unchanged in the middle of the pot Marlon Martin, Jamon Shepherd, Jaheem Thomas unchanged and up top Warner Brown will play through the middle. Kimani Arboin has been shifted to the left, Shay Smith still on the right Right move I think Warner Brown in a 4-3-3 I think Warner Brown more of a natural striker I think Kimani Arboin with his ingenuity and his work rate better in the flank areas not a natural striker Kimani Arboin as you could see even in the first game with the couple looks that he got match day two on the way in the Reinevue Jamaica Premier League and immediately the ball is given to Smith and Smith just finding Shepherd who allows Zanik Garns to really start from the back again getting the sense that they want to be as patient as possible especially with the fact that almost in a a newish environment a couple of new players especially in the engine in the middle of the park we speak of Jamon Shepherd as well who has made his way across from Harbourview to be with the junglers hoping to start a new chapter himself their number seven but here they are in transition Arboin familiar territory for him on the left trying to get Jaheem Thomas in play opportunity this one dinked inside the area Warner Brown getting some help from Thomas on his right foot back out wide wings delivery headed away he's so good at that Jason Wright in keeping up the play and trying to get his teammates involved Warner Brown applying the pressure picked up by Smith, Smith on his left foot drives it straight to the keeper and he had to be behind that one seeing that one but none of the movement he had to make Thomas Davis between the sticks still know Peter Harrison not fit yet to start Peter Harrison came back into this training squad a bit late and Davis a man from Port Antonio getting some opportunities Anaghan still with the possession Arboin was trying to nick in there but couldn't quite get there and it goes the other way there tried to move forward but there's an infringement on the play and Simpson was brought down Alex Thomas of course is the man in charge of Malines United very used to the setting of well playing against Anaghan and of course he was their head coach at one stage, Jeremy Nelson with a dink inside the area at the back post a shot coming in was weak Anaghan still trying to clear their lines unable to do so well there they are again coming forward late inside the connection wasn't quite made back to Enrique Gordon who needs to be involved in the attacks in order for Malines to be a dangerous Warner Brown running into traffic wasn't the smartest thing to do and he loses possession and gave up the possession free kick to Malines United Xavier Gilbert of course on the sidelines of the reign of the Jamaica Premier League for the first time this season missed out on match day one because he had other engagements with the national women's team who sat in last week in their match Enrique had gone great to see him getting forward I think he might be integral for Malines if they're going to add more in terms of attack even though he's defending now Arboy plays it inside the area at the snapshot is taken from Warner Brown there was a deflection and it is a corner kick 200 gardens Brown but it was charged down and now on the guns they have the corner kick Sheppard is the one who is across to take the first corner kick of the match referee Christopher Mason not quite ready it was a bit of a barge-a-barge inside the area Sheppard's delivery inside couldn't get by the first man here's a shot from PISTA! the national premier league he will not forget this moment Wing and what a strike that was PISTA has always been a dangerous player Wing this time good connection Davis might be disappointed he didn't do better Bounce in front of him but my word it was an awkward bounce for Davis he's not the tallest and too much pace on it Wing picking up his first former JC player Philander Wing has picked up this new position at left back and has been doing pretty well for the jungles who continue their dominance over this maligns team well here's Jason Wright looking to respond the thing inside the area and no problems there for Richado White So on it goes with the advantage and they're looking to to capitalize once more Sheppard Sheppard plays this one inside and maligns United will defend that one easily was there a late touch there if we Mason says play on and maligns United will come away with it now there was a late challenge that was a little bit more obvious from Arboyne or was it from Wing Yeah Wing with the late touch on Livingston, good skill from Livingston as well is a player that can be dangerous from the wide area Wing certainly with the late touch to go scorer 3 goes last season for Rashon Livingston There's a ball played long inside the area headed away Sheppard and the no pressure managed to get a second header on it So far Gordon looking to drive forward I like that in Enrique Gordon we saw a lot of that when he was playing for Falkland Yep he's a man from the far east well not too far we were talking about St Thomas Enrique Gordon Well it is the most eastern parish it is Well there's also Portland I was just trying to throw that in there as well Yeah North East Depending on where you go in Portland Livingston gets a touch forward Wright tries to return the favor Livingston gets it back inside the area Livingston oh he dragged that well past the near post You could see what he was trying to do with here but did make a proper connection there was a deflection though Yeah slight deflection over the top from Wright into the area Fortuna so he got to him he was always going for the near post he might have been better suited for the far and yeah good block coming in Livingston to take this himself Oh that wasn't good at all and couldn't do much with the follow up as well My line's United to number 11 Wright has been everywhere so far Brown trying to get more and more into the action he's needed as well Alagan's trying to break this is Shea Smith Smith Sheppard Wing again Wing pulls it back and Warner Brown you expect him to bury that one Yeah such a good goal scored at Sintancho Technical Warner Brown in schoolboy football started his primarily career at Tivolis did score a handful of goals and in the 6 yard box is where he's so clinical needed a much better finish I love the smoothness of the surface here at the stadium they've done a lot of work they've done a good job the groundsmen can sometimes get a little bit heavy which does affect shooting and the movement of the ball but yeah wonderfully smooth and even I think it had to get some rest over the last few weeks we're used to seeing so many matches in schoolboy football being played on the surface and it hasn't been the case this season Thomas they called him national with a driving run and looking for options and that wasn't the best one for him Livingston picks it up now hasn't been on his A game as yet Martin that was poor from him tries to recover Wright Livingston now Livingston looking for Simpson headed away not convincingly but does find a teammate and things will settle down once again for Arnett Gardens Sheppard evading one challenge Deandre Cunningham Javon Brown with it Jason Wright again trying to thread that one through Clarence made only as far as Enrique Gordon Gordon's delivery inside not quite mayhem not enough players inside here this was a chance for Arnett Gardens look at this pass, questions of offside did open up his body well Warner Brown but just didn't generate the pace to give Maline's credit apart from their goalkeeper there was a defender on the line at the far post as well who probably have made a block surprise that maybe Warner Brown didn't go to lift it into the net which should have made it a more difficult block for the defender but yeah good passing from Arnett Gardens and again it was wing in the wide areas Felt that another recovery Maline's United having difficulty in going through the third's Shea Smith as Brown for company was trying to force the pass to him it wasn't quite on, now Brown also trying to force the pass that wasn't quite on from Simpson has been starved of the ball so far but he does look an imposing figure the number nine Simpson for Maline's United last season Maline's United picked up two wins in their first four games but in their next 13 they picked up just another two wins it was only in the latter part of the season where they kind of came into their own threatened for a playoff spot even though it was an outside chance a yellow card is shown yeah poor challenge coming in from Philando Wing it's the second time he's been late and this time overly aggressive just look at this good work by Enrique Gordon as well he is a talented player well look at that definitely not challenging for the ball at all and just 15 minutes in we will have to be careful still on a high from scoring the goal Philando Wing but he has more work to do Gong Ball sent up field Arboyne winning that header kept alive by Jeremy Nelson who was wondering where was the support in following up his header late launch we are free said it was okay ish and Livingston goes on the outside and that's a lovely ball inside and the header is magnificently saved by Richardo White denying Jason Wright his first season well there's a best of Richard Livingston we've been looking out for it taking on two players that first step always good from Livingston gets himself away from the opponent and that was a magnificent delivery the header from Jason Wright to central credit to White and it looked spectacular but that's a save that you would expect him to make 9 out of 10 times needed to find the corner right ball coming inside the area and the whistle goes and it's going to be a free kick to Arnett Gardens nice delivery on that occasion again from Livingston from the corner so improved one thing I liked about the save by Richardo White is that when the ball came across he didn't overcompensate and usually keepers they go as far to the far post as they possibly can but he stopped and I think maybe Jason Wright was thinking of the possible overcompensation and just tried to know where it came from but White was in the right position Livingston that didn't quite come off for Marvin Williams once again to Arnett Gardens Different dimension up front for Alex Thomas when they had Nicholas Nelson last season so energetic, so quick makes a lot of those runs in the little pockets Thorn, Simpson more of a point player much different proposition Nelson as well was able to drop into midfield rolls Martin again gives it up hasn't been so sharp today Simpson in the box who poke it past Richardo White or maybe I'm giving him a little bit too much credit there maybe it was just a miss kick but really another big opportunity for Maline United now it goes the other way and Thomas plays it outside and it's come across the area and that's an own goal well Warner Brown applied the pressure inside the area and the Maline United defense they were at sixes and sevens maybe Brown got a touch in the end who knows but he runs off celebrating and Maline United are in deep trouble trailing on the guns by two goals to nail yeah not the best defending it's a kind of defending we saw from them last season Tajé Cooper I think with a final oh no it actually did come off of Warner Brown it will be his goal Tajé Cooper trying to clear toe poked it and it came off the boot of Warner Brown into the back of the net so the first of the season for Warner Brown you can understand the right smile didn't expect that kind of finish but he will take it and yeah well just a kind of start that Arnett Gardens have been making against Malines and obviously mentally as he said they're just comfortable against this Maline's unit eight wins well just one win for Malines in nine attempts but what a good buildup it was from Arnett Gardens national as you call him Jaheem Thomas with the nice work in the middle of the park anyhow Livingston on his left how do they get out of this situation that's a question for Maline United and just when you start to see a little bit of confidence building and growing with a couple of chances that they would have had Shepherd says he's alright Arnett Gardens again trying to come forward this one is put into touch ends are throwing to Arnett Gardens yep he's that type of go score Warner Brown in and around the area a poacher pouncing on slips and mistakes and that was certainly the case just now as Arnett Gardens go tuning up this is Arbwyne drives it deflected it in oh my word Maline United soft deflected into the net Arnett Gardens turning up now but Arbwyne will take it and that's his first this season and he gives a thumbs up to the bench and he doesn't know where to look Alex Thomas well imagine thinking that this match would have been the odd goal but Arnett Gardens really put in distance between themselves and Maline's this unfortunate space for Kimani Arbwyne in the wide area which is I think he's better in the wide areas Arbwyne cutting on to the right foot it was a good strike you know but I think Maximus Davis would have had it covered and the deflection well unfortunate from a Maline's perspective but Arbwyne would be happy to get off the mark last season just one goal for him and considering it was quite a frustrating season for him even though Arnett Gardens did so well after the 2021 season where he came off his best goal scoring period seven goals he scored that year good to see him getting something early well Maline United they are going to the bench early I think that Steve Reed was getting ready to come on and he's replacing Marvin Williams well well well what do you make of that change Chris? Yeah well I guess not happy with the midfield play Alex Thomas thinks that's too easy for Arnett Gardens Fleming's maybe a bit more experienced both former Portmore players but it's actually Reed who's going in maybe a little bit more steel in the middle of Williams former Portmore player Nelson Jevon Brown that didn't miss by much as a proper left foot Jevon Brown no problems on this occasion for Maximus Davis Livingston and Freekick and Maline United with an opportunity here to pull one back both come inside the area headed away Brown trying to keep it in line former line United getting an opportunity nice move right but it was always under pressure to be back on the receiving end of that flick he created and Gordon Fleming's left the ball behind but wins it back and Nelson at the back post kept alive for and Simpson is there Simpson didn't have a lot of time but he still wins it and they were trying to set up Jason Wright as well oh that's a lovely touch from Smith you know finding Shepherd returns a favor and Smith is triding down the right hand side and was clipped was he? he was our boy back to wing on the byline pulls it across it's a free shot here for Thomas wide of the mark probably the first touch was his best not shy in front of goal, Jaheem Thomas but needed a better finish that first touch was a little bit lousy but he had a lot of standards and ended up having to snatch at it Jaheem Thomas four goals he scored last season and that should probably have been the first this season just too easy in and around the 18 yard box for and it gardens over lines allowing way too much space and they are not have been afforded the same courtesy at the other end Jason Wright apologetic in the immediate aftermath of that challenge and tries to offer a helping hand and it's received in the end by Marlon Martin download the Sportsmax app today from the Google Play or the App Store and keep in touch with a lot of the sport events all over the world and yeah just keep in touch with all the happenings on the Sportsmax app our boy Martin out wide collected nicely and he was brought down beyond Ray Cunningham yeah by the substitute Flemmins we did one at some stage because of the change of numbers of the gear of the kit if it was actually Flemmins but it is Johnny Flemmins one Portmore man replacing another with Williams going out Cunningham can deliver these Shepherd nicely done the flick out wide and Mullines United trying to capitalize and Wright tripping over himself Mullines United really not getting the rubber green so far in this game as I said the surface is very smooth but still a bit heavy you can see how the ball moves across it quite slow at times you have to drag it along I think sometimes that has inhibited them a bit Cunningham Shepherd swings it over to our boy our boy again Thomas Shepherd our boy he was allowed in because of space inside the box and you cannot give that to Kimani our boy that's the second of the game I would have to say Donna that's one of the goals of the season and we haven't had many so far but I just love the patience of on it guns how they have taken their time sheared the ball well nice one touch passing and again a deflected finish from our boy but only one he scored last season he has two already that was heading towards the far corner deflected and in but lovely build up from our boy on it garden spreading the ball wide using the midfield as well short five-yard runs making a big difference and more lines unable to handle it and on it gardens we are looking for more I'm sure the jungles and the supporters who are inside the Anthony sporting sports complex last Monday probably wondering where the heck was this performance so much for a close fixture here comes my lines united Ken can't get past the back line of on it gardens and they are taking it easy at the moment through Cunningham and Martin Amos does well Martin Philando Wing Arboyne wasn't the touch he expected to make he was expected to make Nelson that's a good challenge on it probably went through Nelson obviously went through Nelson German Nelson was a ball in hope than anything else Livingston Livingston again with the ball high inside for Thorn Simpson not clear properly but the look not just the look is just not going in favor of United as on it gardens trying to get out their own half now feels as if it's a training session for them at the moment no intensity shown by the Malines United players it does help with the fact that they are facing down the barrel here yeah way too easy and at time Malines United sitting way too deep the back line including that man Andrews and Cooper not pushing up the Malines team enough so almost welcoming and giving up their whole the entire midfield to on it gardens with quick wide players like what they have Arboyne and Smith you just can't afford that because they will find ways around you in and around the 18 yard area as they have done so far Brown to Livingston Livingston Jeanne is on the grounds here she's in the stands with some spectators I believe Jeanne This is the Ray and Nephew fan spirit and I am here with Mr Alwin Sir this match is you told me that you just came from work right? you are an Arnet Gardens fan I want to hear what you feeling about this match so far well much exciting so far Arnet Garden control game from start and full of good feeling so far you tell me that you came here when the second goal score so how you know that them controlling the ball from the start well you can see the play now you can see that Arnet is on the team so you feel like the Earthquake this morning she had them up a little bit they are ready for today's match between more lines because more lines is having a hard time right now we see Arnet Gardens doing their thing do you think they had anything to do with it? everybody feel the Earthquake because when it she I never feel it no when it she are meeting at the bar but Arnet man Arnet Arnet Fever well you said that you left work and came here you got an early day and you came to Monday Night Football if you never got an early day would you still come to Monday Night Football well I'm self implied still you know so me just leave work and just come a match anytime Arnet I am there well you aren't joined the match so far and if you aren't here yet and on your way come down to Monday Night Football it's a lot of exciting action and if you are sponsored you can primarily back to you Donald and Chris it's exciting but it's one sided I can tell you that as we see fans in the stands attuned to what's happening on the home of champions Arnet Garnes comfortably in front in this one Chris Taylor almost anti-climatic almost yeah Arnet Garnes would probably say as he is tuned into his force max up watching live and then able to catch the replays and so on or anything that they may have missed in fact initially at the second goal it was announced as an own goal and I'm sure if he was watching his sports max up as well as well as them he would have known that Warner Brown got that important touch to add his first of the season so do download the sports max up from the Google Play or the App Store Intuned you need to be with Ray and nephew Jamaica Premier League and other things it is a way of life isn't it well certainly is must say very user friendly easy as well once you go on the app to find all the options available smooth streaming as they would say indeed Nelson and company not quite smooth sailing for them and optimized by that way yes talking about the earthquake well they obviously felt a tsunami as well yeah they have been overwhelmed casual on the guns they have been they need to remain professional and my lines need a reply quickly going into the half if they could get a goal back it might just make for some excitement in the second half ball inside the area that's wonderful from angels and the shot trickles wide and German Nelson yeah that was a poor finish from Nelson almost half expected him to put his laces through it look at this skill from angels though lovely just to get rid of wing but yeah Nelson that was a poor finish four goals he scored last season German Nelson he's been around a long time scored 16 in his Premier League career and with so much space at the six yard line he's got to be hitting a target that was a goal that my lines needed just to keep themselves in check Smith now on the left hand side Simpson almost with a mindset of he's going to do things himself now collecting that one deep then causing the foul Thomas hasn't been at his sharpest but he has been influential by him Thomas same can be said for Jason Wright who's on it now Nelson Simpson Jason Wright to the byline right lovely right good block that goes behind for a corner kick to my lines United and some form of life shown by my lines quite a handful Jason Wright 14 goals he scored last season don't take him lightly hasn't had a lot of help so far quality help I should say went to the near post by a low centre of gravity skillfully able to turn both ways and willing to shoot on either foot corner kick comes in a dangerous area though and there was still goals there was a handled ball there somewhere Christopher Mason referee put on the FIFA panel at the start of this year policeman as well I spoke last week about how many policemen they were involved in officiating and especially in refereeing as well Stefan DeWauw is a part of this quartet he's a policeman himself JCF making big strides in the field of refereeing right out of ideas there that's Fleming's Brown has lost it our boy does really well keeping his balance and the possession oh goodness me and then the touch was brilliant too and well the referee says play on and on it gone still with the possession though and the ball over cooked we're hearing that two minutes of sabbages will be played at the end of the 45 Mullines United despondent Gordon Brown striding forward oh collects that one well Brown inside the area that's a wonderful challenge coming in from Roshan Amos and the ball comes across and it's headed away a shot from distance again goes well wide at the mark that was from their left back Shaheen Parma I think that's Amos on the turf yeah he's alright Cunningham the captain cool customer there anywhere will do kick forward on it gardens just two second corner of the game Sheppard Thomas Arboyn didn't have a lot of ideas there and Mullines United what can they do with the possession Nelson German Nelson on it looking for options and finding one in Jevon Brown right comes out of the area to collect and then turns it around the corner and the ball across the face of goal should he finish Livingston Livingston still and eventually they still don't concede in this half and they are running away with this as a contest they have scored four goals a couple from this man here Kimani Arboyn after Philando Wing and opened the scoring and Warner Brown also in the thick of things as well for the jungles who are in charge here at the National Cinema Eastfield leading Mullines United by four goals to nil you can catch that on Sportsmax too La Liga continues on the home of champions tomorrow afternoon at 3 o'clock 4 C.T. Las Palmas against Atlético Madrid 4 nil in favor of Warnick Garns over Mullines United it's been a performance of dominance and even then they really had the rub of the green couple of deflections Warner Brown benefiting from one of them Kimani Arboyn has scored a couple of goals himself there he is he will concede himself to be bang in form Philando Wing was the one who opened the floodgates for the jungles and the second half is going to get on the way now Warnick Garns in the full white will be kicking towards downtown Kingston and Mullines United will be going towards the Blue Mountain range how will Mullines United respond will they make this respectable trying to thread that one through didn't quite come off Smith back to Cunningham Shepherd Smith nicely done Deandre Cunningham inside Trevor Simpson getting support from Jason Wright who lays it out wide Nelson Wright there was a deflection on it corner kick to Mullines United good start from Mullines nice build up play, good turn by Nelson turn as well by Wright but they forced him away from goal so he cut the angle for him and bought his back to get in the block that's more like it from Mullines though Mullines United with the fourth corner kick here it comes, not a bad delivery had to be punched away Livingston on it you expect Mullines United to have more of a foot hold in this second half because you almost anticipate Warnick Garns to kind of take their foot off the gas they are in charge of this one and here they come Warnick Garns the challenge coming in Tajay Cooper a good challenge from Cooper deflection from Warner Brown is a call much to the surprise of the Warnick Garns number nine Mullines United had a couple of interesting facts to their name from last season they were only in one scoreless game and that was against half of you they've already started their campaign this season with a goal as draw and the thing about being in goal as games or not being in goal as games is the fact that they most times score they have a free kick now after Livingston was clipped by Deandre Cunningham and Mullines United they are coping now to score Jaheem Palmer is behind this he doesn't have a bad left foot the wall constructed two man wall here comes a kick Jevon Brown through the crowd notices there for Richard White here comes the jungles Warner Brown setting it out wide first touch was a really good one from Arbwyne cutting inside Kimani Arbwyne trying to cut it back again but Sheppard on it Sheppard couldn't quite curl that one back inside the danger area Thomas Arbwyne left it the captain Cunningham to Deandre Cunningham here is Smith Thomas was clipped by Nelson Amos looking to switch the play Sheppard keeps it in Livingston Palmer's ball inside keeper backtracking almost hurting himself in the process Richard White Livingston again in the attacking third needed Brown as well Sheppard tries to do better Livingston challenge coming in from Cunningham was timed well according to Ruffry Mason and Smith is on it and the guards may put this out of play so that Smith can get some attention Sheppard also being fouled and Smith is getting some attention now as you take a look at Maline's United Bench stretches out for Smith but I don't think he's going to take it he's not that kind of player at all you know Shea Smith has a sister Cassandra Smith of Excelsior who is a fabulous football player in her own right would have been called up to the national youth team on a couple of occasions also coached by Xavier Gilbert at Excelsior High one of the up and coming talents for the junior women's program so he's coaching the family Xavier Gilbert so obviously a special relationship between him and Shea Smith although this doesn't look too good at all and a couple of changes being made by Arnick Gardens as they hope to continue their control of this game Yeah Evans coming on the solution played at right back last season interesting where he plays this season seems like he's playing more of a central role Evans Maline's United out wide and Livingston on it at the back post kept alive barely both played through the keeper of his line he does enough so there's always going to be a difficult proposition for Livingston to go through the crowd Evans has gone into that defensive midfielder role where Martin was quite defensive in his own right Evans but as I said did play as right back and started pretty well in that position for Arnick Gardens this was a solution national team as well Shanai Evans Yeah plays with both feet so I'm sure you'll be able to adapt quite well to the holding midfielder role although he does do that as well as we see the foul on Cunningham and the yellow card being shown to Jeremy Nelson just to confirm the booking on Jeremy Nelson It was a wild lunge wasn't it Luckily for him he didn't make much contact Shepherd Yeah so there's Evans 28 years old He actually also played for doubly connection in the semi-professional league in Trinidad and Kevon McGregor has come on for the injured Chase Smith we saw some bandage on the leg of Smith as well so obviously he had some concern before the game Oh lovely touch Warner Brown sends it out wide to Shepherd it's across the phase of goal Kevon Shepherd still looking for his first Jamaica Premier goal and he probably thought he had it there He'll have to wait a little bit longer Good build up by Annette Gons yet again got to be hitting the target there Shepherd look at that just outside the six yard area the entire far post gaping Shepherd couldn't find the target disappointing He was being held and pulled there wasn't he He's been in the trenches Thorne Simpson but doesn't have a lot to show for it as yet they move quickly Maline's United shot was blocked though and the follow through has brought down the Annette Gons defender ball comes across again and it's going to be held by White and he's going to need some attention as well there was a captain who went down after making the block Joel Cunningham feeling the effects as well slightly better half from Maline's but still not getting enough 18 yard action a little bit more narrow in terms of defense which is good to see see if Gilbert having words with Gerald Neal for the last two or three seasons has been a mainstay in the Annette Gons starting lineup actually unusual to see him on the bench was forced to the bench after being injured for quite a while didn't quite force his way back into the starting lineup and started the season on the bench as well Livingstone predictable and was robbed Thomas Cunningham with acres of space in front of him he wouldn't want to see that again on the highlights reel Simon scored a really good goal against Mount Pleasant last season in the playoffs of course they would have gone on to lose over the course of two legs Annette Gons to Mount Pleasant at Sabina Park all this ball has come all the way through and Annette Gons finally clearing and here's Warner Brown all good strength utilized fighting the striker good player Tajé Cooper just 19 years of age Warner Brown not much older and Cooper who is a part of the all the Costa team one of the standout centre backs in last years the Costa Cup one of the standout centre backs in all of schoolboy football last season it's been a tough introduction to the premiere leave for him his team down 4-0 but he's made a couple of telling challenges so far and that was the latest of them in fact we went playing for William Nib forward quite a bit he was almost like an overlapping centre back if there is such a thing well he's not afforded that luxury in the premiere league that's cool boy football yes but definitely not in the premiere league got forward quite a bit remembering his purple green and white scored quite a few goals scored about over half a dozen goals as well pretty good pass so when he does involve himself in the midfield yeah predominantly a centre back there's one of those ranged passes yep still not finding the target though that's the issue all over top pretty accurate McGregor Thomas straight to Maximus Davis well I deny you will be pleased with what has happened so far in the second half Thomas sends this one inside and the keeper has missed it and the clearance is made not too far out though Brown tries to find the open net and could not not sure so sure what happened with white but luckily for him Brown couldn't find the target came for it here white not sure what happened his captain was there to clear and quite rightly Brown looking to find the empty net did take a deflection it will be a corner when player he starts well Mullines and Eitel were making a couple of changes themselves Wilson who has been in the graveyard shift comes out Tevin Scott comes on in his stead Rashon Livingston is taken out of the park of the park and Tyreek O'Connor comes on to replace him as if Eric Edwards may come on it did look a little bit like crap didn't it but the signal is being made that Richard White won't be able to continue I hope he's fully warmed up Eric Edwards Edwards of course 26 years old but experience in his own right would have won the 2017-18 season with Pope May night it also prayed for don't be holding for a bit for a couple of years starting in 2018 why it will be considered unfortunate here but Edwards who started on match day one comes on in his stead a little bit strange that it has started back as a goal kick well referee Mason did signal O'Connor initially I guess he had a change of heart I can't remember seeing a deflection from the effort from Brown though here's Nelson Nelson skips by a challenge O'Connor they have a lot to work on see Vassar Reynolds also on the bench alongside Alex Thomas oh he's robbed in a dangerous area Palmer's ball inside the area was at Fleming's I believe ball over the top Flak stays down on his right Arboyne again looking for a hat trick and here is Thomas a bit of cram setting in after that effort he's probably going to be taken out Jaheem Thomas we need to speak about the slightly heavy surface and it does take a toll of the legs we are at the beginning of the season he has put in a lot of work in that midfield role Thomas Fleming's Brown probably tempted to shoot probably should have gone with his gut there tried to supply the pass and well yellow card comes out and Terrage Andrews goes into the referee's book didn't want Warner Brown to get away there it's been an interesting battle between those two looks as if Arboyne is going to be taken out so he may not get his hat trick maybe there will be one other opportunity Evans Arboyne commits the foul and the yellow card is going to be shown in his direction and that will be his last bit of action there yeah unnecessary from Arboyne that was a pretty high foot there from Fleming's I was surprised that there wasn't a whistle on that play for his challenge on Coney now but then Arboyne he just didn't need that kind of reaction from him such a solid game two goals for the Arnett guards number 12 a really good shift and just a blemish at the end there would have lost a couple of fantasy points Gerald Neal comes on in his stead with a smile on his face obviously a defensive change made by Zeve Gilbert Kenalda Brown also comes on in place of Jaheem Thomas who to be fair looked a little spent on that can't even tell him that guns were more like themselves but they did play some fantastic football in that first half hey just second half there have been a little sloppy although Maline's United have been unable to capitalise O'Connor tries to do that now both played inside and Scott's deflected effort is wide off the mark they have a corner kick Maline's United United. He was looking still to get away shot. Kevin Scott actually wondered why he checked back when that ball came to him. Why not take it on a half turn? Just look at this there. Yeah because the first touch wasn't the best. Yeah. So actually brought Evans into the play. He's relying United again. Placed inside and oh that's a forced header. Why did the mic mark? I'm not even sure if he was in the best position there O'Connor. Yeah I think Koopa was trying to say to him I was there. But O'Connor said well I didn't hear you. Say something. There are about three Mullines players lining up for the finish. But it's been a story of their game so far. Just not organized well. Just not well enough organized. Based on the chances that we've seen Mullines United create. You wonder how joyous Anagans will be with this result. Mind you even the best Anagans teams would have conceded quite a bit. They just outscored their opponents. So how much would they take from this victory Anagans? That's a question I'd ask you Kristela. Well the Anagans philosophy has always been you know you can score me but I'll score more. So I don't think they're a bit too perturbed. Yes they would probably like to tighten up a bit but I don't think Mullines have had a lot of chances. I think they have had some half chances. Palmer's ball inside not a bad one to Jason Wright looking for space but he was closed on all the time and this one placed inside the area and there's Eric Edwards in the way taking control of the situation. Neil Brown conning him. Both played inside the area Warner Brown with another chance. Can he finish? And the deflected effort is right of the mark in the end. They were teeing up there. Two of them inside the box. And again it's Sheppard. First he was wide of the right upright now wide of the left upright. Good take it was initially from Warner Brown. There was questions of a handball. Had a strike there. Good block by Cooper and then yeah the strike from Sheppard wide of the mark. So Arne Gardens they have a corner kick here as they look to add a fifth goal but a change is being made and yeah Javon Brown has had a long day. Suja McBean comes on to replace him and it with a corner kick taken short or Suja McBean I should say. Suja McBean has come on to replace him the number 12. Nilsson. Warner Brown. Sheppard trying to slip that one through couldn't. End to end stuff at the moment. Get a wasted ball. Another wasted long ball by Melange Knight in this game. And here comes Arne Gardens on the prow. And it's Neil. Delightful ball across. He should have scored. Warner Brown knows that he should have scored there from point blank range. And how did he not hit the target there? I don't know but it was a magnificent deliver from Gerald Neil. Almost looked labored getting down that right side but the delivery into the box was a peach. And the quality that Warner Brown has shown from schoolboy level. He definitely should have buried that. He's had a couple chances today Warner Brown that when he's shot those are in the back of the net. He is razor when he is. But today yeah he's needed a bit. He's needed a file. Arne Gans with a corner kick. Taking the time about this. Canelda Brown going across to take the fourth corner. Here it comes. And a chance for Warner Brown again over the top. Yeah that one was quite difficult though. Pretty high. And it was always going to be going over. Never able to control that header. So Janay is downstairs with the DJ of the night. I wonder if she's going to be spinning some tunes as well. Janay. I was once a DJ done all but not today. I'm a host today. I'm here with Ian Fuller. Ian I need to know your DJ name. Ian Fuller. But I spell it a different way. But I use the name Ian Fuller. Okay you're at every single Premier League match or is just some Monday night. Some not everyone. Okay Ian I need I need a one tune your favorite tune from your favorite artist. My favorite tune. No you have to play it. Oh I have to play my favorite tune. Yeah man find the tune. Find the tune. Any tune any tune any tune. But you have to show me how to do it now you know. You want me to turn it up. Yeah. So what am I supposed to do now? Yeah. All right Ian so you keep the vibes right. But I don't see any rain in your cups. How do you keep the vibe up for the Jamaica Premier League matches? All right well the vibes is right here at Stadium East, Gunnarland, Chris keep the vibes going back to you. That doesn't look like an experienced turn table specialist we saw there from Jeanette. She looked a little bit nervous. I'm not sure what to make of it. She scratched it rather than mixed it. I think it was a scratch. I think they need to check the damage. Here's my line trying to get forward once more. Or the groove. I don't know how she came into the commentary box so quickly. So we take a look at the sports match at moment and according to Chris Taylor's goal of the season mind you we're in match week two. So you know there could be some time for more but it was a really good goal. Arbwyne, Thomas, Sheppard, who Sheppard did it to Arbwyne and he scored. Wonderful touches around the box. Yeah straight all the training ground you would think in Arbwyne with the finish and that's the SportsMax app. Moment of the game courtesy of the SportsMax app. Download it today from the Google Play or the App Store. There's Kimani Arbwyne taken off. Has a wink to go with it. Two goals. Only scored once last season so he's already doubled his tally and he's a prime contender for man of the match. Kimani Arbwyne based on his performance. Yeah I don't think I I don't think I can disagree with you for once Chris Taylor. Oh that's amazing. It is amazing actually. I need to think about it some more. Doesn't happen too often. Mobile United warming up. They of course will be playing Waterhouse FC up next. There's Waterhouse. I've loved all the jerseys so far in the Premier League. This one will be your biggest test in terms of the numbers. I can tell you that. Oh my goodness. When you thought everything was going to be okay. With that cement finish. Anyway. They have won Dazzling number 23 now. Newly inserted into their starting team. One equal Christian. Excited to see what you'll bring to this Waterhouse setup. And the Lions haven't been very inspiring at all. It's been quite disappointing their performance based on what we saw last week and did expect an improved performance from the Lions and for them to be much closer, much more closely matched with this Arnett team. Can they at least get a consolation here. Trying to find Jason Wright. We're hearing three minutes of stoppages will be played at the end of the 90. Scott collects. They have been sent a ball inside the area. More Lions looking to get a goal back here. Clearance made by Arnett. Confirmation over three minutes. Try to take it quickly. Nice turn from Jason Wright. Still right. Wright was a little bit off. Evans. That's a lovely switch of play, you know. Here they come again, the Lions United. Rodanik Gardens back in numbers. Cunningham couldn't get it away. And here's an opportunity for Wright. And it's an open net here. And the charge down in full effect. Denying Jaheem Palmer. Nice build up. Cunningham trying to take it down initially exposed. And yeah, the pass to Palmer wasn't the best and it required too much. And that's the end of the game. And it's four-nil. The score line to Anik Gardens. Wander Braun on the score sheet. Kimani Arbwain getting a couple goals as well. He was substituted in the second half. Philando Wing also in amongst the goals. Starting out the proceedings for the jungles. Getting his first goal in the Premier League. And Anik Gardens, they were on easy street most of the evening. The Lions United would have to regroup once again. After 90 minutes, Anik Gardens in complete control based on the score line. Four-nil. Let's take a look at the full-time highlights here. Shaysmith's effort straight to goalkeeper Maximos Davis. Then Arbwain playing this one inside and Wander Braun's effort taking a deflection and going wide at the mark. Shepard's ball inside was cleared out. And then Philando Wing driving this one. And Davis moving across to his right. Got a hand on it but it was not strong enough. And Wing celebrating his first goal in the Jamaica Premier League. Driving effort. And Wing on the score sheet. Right. Now Livingston and he dragged that one. Took a slight deflection there. And Arbwain, he was having fun. Wing sending it across and couldn't quite convert on that occasion. Anik Gardens Livingston with a wonderful ball inside. And that was pushed over by Richard Smith. The header coming in from Jason Wright. And Wright instrumental again into the path of Simpson. We really should have done better there. And this was a lovely run by Jaheem Thomas. Layed off to Smith Smith on a platter. And came off Wander Braun. Tried to clear his line to Jaheem Cooper. But right into the path of the unrushing Wander Braun. And then Arbwain looked so dangerous on the left hand side and took a shot. And it took a wicked deflection. It was going forward. But the deflected effort flew past Maximus Davis. And Arbwain again touching it inside. And this was a really good goal. Flinging around the area. Shepard with the final pass to Arbwain. Getting a second of the game. And a wonderful finish there. Looked a lot more dangerous on the left hand side. Arbwain cut again. And he was very much involved in the interplay there. And that was the fourth of the game. Could have put one back before the half-time interval. Malai United. Wonderful turn that was. Tarajan Jules. And then the finish left a lot to be desired. And the second half now. So much open space for Arnett Gardens. Jamon Shepard should have opened his scoring there in the Jamaica Premier League. Still looking for his first goal. Shepard. And then this effort from Tevin Scott who came on as a substitute in the second half. Deflected wide. And then Wander Braun having a couple of bites here. A couple of blocks. He'll set up for Jamon Shepard who again didn't do a lot with it. And then Gerald Neal with that delightful ball inside it. Wander Braun from point blank range. And the aftermath of that he could only go on bended knees. Should have scored. He knows it. On another day he could have had a hat trick. And then that was a wonderful block by Eric Edwards denying Jackie Impama. Malai United had 13 shots through which were on target. Arnett Gardens had four of their 14th or six of their 14 shots on target. 26 fouls committed in this game. A couple of other cards were shown to the Arnett Gardens men. Malai United had more corner kicks but Arnett Gardens had more possession at 57 percent. Kimani first of all congratulations on your management match performances for performance. Just one goal last season. Two goals now in two games for you. It's an excellent start. Yeah I've been working. I've been I looked at the pass and I see I need to score more goals and that's what I've been working on all preseason long. In the first match he played as a central striker today out wide. You seem more comfortable in that position. Do you rather that. Well it's the course decision where if I perform in training he put me there and I was playing well at the wing for the last week so I guess he take the chance and put me out on the wing and it was well deserved. He's certainly working for your Kimani. Congrats on the game today. I will look forward to seeing more goals from you this season. Yeah for sure that's the aim. The team there's been a lot of doubt in the team and we are here to prove our point. Prove to all the people who say the key players have gone. They are seeing me most of us. The youngsters them work with them getting to get a core and move forward. Well you made a big point today. Congrats. All the best. Yeah thank you. Kimani Arboyn there are one of the match for today with his two goals and his first two goals of the season as well. Commanding performance for the gardens. Alex Thomas know Alex from a maligns perspective to slow start. I thought especially in the first half you awarded too much space to the Anet Gardens attackers and they hurt you. Definitely you know slow start always remind them how we start the first 50 minutes and we end the game and we started slow atargic you know and that we have to pay for it you know and that's what Anet did. Last season the fourth highest scoring team this season 180 minutes no goals. No goals and we have to keep working try to find the right chemistry up front and we have to just go back to the playing surface and try to find these early days you know nevertheless we keep working. Just a point from the two games so far any positives to take away from this one even though it was a losing result. Positiveness we started a bit in the second half look more energy more vibrant and you know we can see that we have a lot of prospect in our team and we have to just believe you know and keep working. We expect lots of work from you in the weeks to come. Alex all the best going forward. Thank you. Alex Thomas then coming out on the losing end of things with this four-nil defeat. Xavier Gilbert well Xavier the first we've seen you on the sidelines in the Anet Garden shirt this season and it's been a wonderful start for you a big four-nil win. Yeah good start so I must commend the players for all the executed tonight you know the objective was to go right at them early and it worked for us you know good start first couple of minutes and then I mean we that set the tone you know early goal and then another one came and then so after that first half it was good and it was just for us now to manage the proceedings onwards. I'm not sure if it was your presence but the mindset of the of the boys seemed different today. They were very aggressive from early and that's what paid dividends in terms of getting the early lead and that set the tone. Oh yes definitely and as I said that was the objective to go right at them. I think and sometimes you have to assess the opposition you know I think you know we came a little bit early I know the traffic on the road and I think they weren't settled and I mean that also we decided hey we're gonna go at them and see what work out and it paid dividend for us and I believe marks after them you know they wanted to make sure that I had a good birthday to you know so I mean this is their their present for me so I'm three points in the back that's good. Congrats to you all the best going forward we look forward to more Arnegans matches. Thanks I look forward to more situations like this you know. Yeah he walks away with a smile on his face and why shouldn't he he saw his team putting a really good performance in securing this four-nil win over Milan United and with that Arnegans get the three points on the board.
