 Welcome back to the JZ Ashton I'm stadium on Old Hope Road in Kingston, Jamaica. Standing by for the walkout of the teams, of course, Mona High versus Jonathan Grant High, the return leg of their second round encounter, both teams. We're into go Jonathan Grant. We've arrived at the venue a bit later than perhaps they would have liked, affected their warm-up, but let's see if they can shake off all that rust from their journeys. In the heart of Spanish Town to the capital Kingston, Mona, not very far from their home, Old Hope Road, perhaps adjacent parallel to Mona Road. If you can term it like that for those who have an idea of the geography, especially those in the Caribbean, those of course in the diaspora, looking on. So the referees enter the match as well as 22 players who will do battle their duel all with the hope of making it to the quarterfinal. Jonathan Grant, they have a gargantuan task for goal deficit and those of four goals were all done away by Mona and the away goals rule definitely in play if there's a tie. But Mona, they are quietly confident that they can continue on the momentum that would have seen them as semi-finalists last year and the quietness in the Mona camp breeds an air of confidence. What will they be able to deliver this season? The referees in charge of this one, O'Hara Headley, the man with the whistle, Brickton Archer and Pervel Beckett, the assistants, the fourth official added Hamilton. And of course this is the first of a double header here at the JC Ashland complex. But the team from Mona. Let's have a quick look at the line up. Akeem Bernard has six clean sheets. He starts with them in gold. Stefan Johnson, Dante Peralta, Carlton Brown, Alex Swazzo, Javed Wallace, Romarian Thomas, Rabino Gordon, Denzel McKenzie, Demaria Harris and Marlon Cunningham. They are coached by Craig Butler and they line up in the Domino five as he calls it. It's really hard to explain. We'll try to pinpoint it as the match goes on. Two captains here, Akeem Bernard from Mona and Dominic Grant for Jonathan Grant. They have their time in conference with the referee. Here's a quick look at the Jonathan Grant line up. Goalkeeper Sheldon York. They have a back four of Dominic Grant, Brian Williams, Raheem Smith and Tifari Williams. Four in the middle, Patrick Parks, Antwin Ellis, the man to watch, Rashard Williams, Ian Dennis and the two strikers Lawrence Barrett and Demaria Morrison. They're coached by Camille Wolfe. So I'm Dean Smith with me is Chris Taylor. Chris Taylor, your initial thoughts on this matchup? Very one sided in the first leg, Mona with lots of experience from last season. Coming in with lots of goals was 42 goals in the competition so far. Eight wins from eight. Make it nine out of nine now if you count the first leg. So, as I said, uphill task is just, well, that doesn't really put the full reflection on what Jonathan Grant need to accomplish here. It would be a miracle and a half. Here's Ramarin Thomas, always able to pierce through. Ramarin Thomas has a strike two from distance and the attacking intent of Mona definitely on display. They get a corner in the first minute of the encounter. Thomas was obviously, as you say, you mentioned a shot from distance, had one of the goals of the season from some distance against Wolmes last season. One of seven goals, he scored Ramarin Thomas to go with his four or six. Here's a corner kick from Benza Mackenzie and there is not properly clear. The shot is off and a beautiful save from the keeper kept that one out. Dante Peralta was in the thick of things. They still have possession. They lose it now through Laurence Barrett for Jonathan Grant. Great move that from Carlton Brown. He's through. Brown lifts it across. A bit of God was trying to get on the end of that one but still not cleared. Wallace on the ball. So many players retain from last season. Mona Hite, a lot of this start in the 11 was present at the school and that makes it good for their chances of going really deep in the tournament. As I said, semifinalist last year and it would be a big surprise if they are not at least there this year. Well, that's a look at their coach, Craig Butler, and a lot can be said about him. His coaching exploits certainly good from a developmental perspective, getting a lot of players to the top level. Most notably, of course, being Dijon Whisper Richards, signing directly from a past schoolboy football player all the way to Chelsea. Mona, they have a freaking Thomas. That was straight to the goalkeeper, Sheldon York. Chris, of course, you'd have heard the inflection on my voice just a while ago, but whenever he strikes the ball, you never know what can happen and you have to be prepared just for the eventuality of a super strike. He's that good. Yeah, very good from distance. Just as we thought, Jonathan Grant had finally got note of the error. They've been pinned back in the first few minutes here. As we see their head coach there, Camille Wolfe, brother of Wolverolfe, the San Diego head coach. Jonathan Grant, of course, his alma mater as well, did well in the zone. Six wins from 10 matches. But yeah, they've come up again a really tough Mona High team. I mean, they're so deflated, they even turned up late to this picture, very late, not moments before. I'm not sure how much of a proper warm-up they could have had. Hardly a warm-up. They came directly on the field. I'm not sure if they were warming in the dressing room, but yeah, that wouldn't be much either. So I mentioned earlier that the Diamond Five formation that Mona line-up as, they have a back two. You have two midfielders, then they have a hole in midfielder. Three, they call them white players and one forward. So certainly adventurous in how they line-up Mona. At first it was a Domino Six, then it moved to a Domino Five while I spoke with him. And there are some elements of that you can see. Preferably a call against Alex Suazo. They call him Mexican. Number six for Mona there on your screen. It was late. Knocked the socks out of Patrick Parks. The opposite number for Jonathan Grant. Well, they tried to wind up from the back, Jonathan Grant. He had a lot of space there. The ball is through for the off-side flag was up. Yeah, it wasn't so difficult for Jonathan Grant to get themselves inside the 18-yard box and that was an issue for Mona last season. We're against the better teams. They were exposed defensively, especially in the wide area. So as you mentioned, just the two center backs and players playing what he believes is is total football. Yeah, at times caught short at the back. Here's Thomas. Thomas with the strike. That went wide. Yeah, another bad attempt from Romario and Thomas has a technique. Ball to take a slight bubble before he kicked it. And so they're pulling it wide. But yeah, Craig Rotler believes that a lot of his players can play in any position. Hence, you even see situations with his goalkeeper. It assists for Akim Bernad this season to go with two goals. So versatility not questioned whatsoever. Here's a corner kick. Well, some jostling, some pulling, some tugging. Every headlet says to Carlton Brown, get yourself in order. You can see with the corner Carlton Brown was trying to get ahead to it, but able to clear just beyond the 18-yard area. But the result in shot way off the mark. Yeah, Jonathan Grant have never won the Manning Cup, but they have won the Walker Cup back in 1990. One title for them. One better than Mona. But when you look at the talent pool in both these teams at the moment, you'd have to think that Mona closest to winning the next football trophy between these two schools, especially at this level. Certainly, a lot of the Mona players also would have had experiences with the Phoenix Academy. Perhaps all of them are part of the Phoenix Academy. And their European tours definitely would give them an advantage just to expose them to a wider level of football. Third season this now, Craig Butland. Since he has taken over. The funny thing about it is when you look at Mona over the years, they've always produced really good individuals at the football level, but they haven't been able to keep the players as soon as the players have been seen or realized. They have moved on to bigger football in schoolboy academies. Yeah. And so you check quite a few of them. You see that, you know, they started out at Mona and they moved on to other schools. But since he's come here, Craig Butland, he's been able to put together a really good core group of players, a system, and Mona, even though they haven't won a title yet, they have seen results. Certainly. One factor, a part of that would have been also at that time, Mona didn't have a six form program. So they would have always had a disadvantage retaining some of the older players. But now they do have that. It's a L. It's behind. He leaves it. And a second player leaves it straight to goal, easily handled by a Keem Bernard, who punts it forward. But the header is sent back the direction of the Mona goal. Captain there, Dominic Grant, doing well, but Mona still have possession. Ball being sent wide for Dante Peralta, his second season in the Manning Cup. Ball being shielded by his opposite number four, the captain for Jonathan Grand, Dominic Grant. Of course, there's lots of schoolboy football action today. Perhaps this is the first off whole slate of matches in the Manning and the Custer Cup. Of course, on our YouTube channel at 230, big matchup on hand. Here's Jonathan Grant through Demario Morrison. Let's try the back heel, but play broken up. Here's Thomas. And he, the referee points to this spot. Initially, he tried to continue his run with Romarian Thomas. So it's a penalty for Mona, just a 12 minute. And yeah, just like that, Mona with a chance to widen the gap. Thomas already has been in a thicker thing. That was a careless challenge, wasn't it from the captain? Dominic Grant, yeah. Lead. And to his credit, Romarian Thomas, he actually tried to continue the run, so he really wasn't asking for it. And perhaps, had he gone down a bit cheaper, who knows, in the mind of the referee, he could have just brushed it off. But certainly, a far more correct call. A definite penalty. Yeah. That was an easy call for referee Headley. The man standing behind it is Rabino Gordon. Already has 12 goals this season. And interestingly, he... A nine assist. Last season, a man who scored five goals. First attack player. Played in the centre-back position last season. In fact, came into the all-manning squad eventually and played in that kind of defensive role. Was a late replacement into the squad. Sheldon York has a lot to answer for. And let's see if he can provide the answers. Gordon steps up, converts Cooley and the chorus of Mona's students here. Mona pride, definitely alive and well. Craig Butler, he's loving that one. They're loving that one. Early departure from school to support their team as they continue to march. Five-nil on aggregate. One-nil on the day so far. Sheldon York are done by perhaps an easy penalty. Yeah, wasn't the greatest penalty at all. A little bit too central, but got the job done. Under York. And yeah, look at how composed and easy it was about coming up to the spot. Almost too easy. And that's been the kind of performances, been between these two teams. An easy performance for Mona High. Haven't been pushed by this Jonathan Grant team. Held them out for a bit in the first leg, but then Mona really started to apply the pressure and completed a big score line. Well, what was already a hard task? Only getting harder now. Of course, Jonathan Grant High, the principal, Dr. Anil Ankel had a lot to say about the dance backs in school. Took a firm stance at the start of the school year that none of those back would be allowed in his institution. And I like that type of firm leadership, even if it doesn't go with the social narrative that exists at the time. Two players down. We hope they're okay. We've seen some movement from both Jonathan Grant players. Obviously a head collision. Referee Heldle was a bit concerned. Good to see the movement though. So we're hoping that they're okay. They did have an easy incident last week, the San Diego goalkeeper. Layton Maria. Yeah. So down on the Sportsmax app today, get it on the Google Play or the App Lab Store and watch all the action inside Issa Schoolball Football this season and the SFL in Trinidad and Tobago. Schoolball Football is free on Sportsmax Plus and Sportsmax Plus, of course, only on the app. You can follow all the league action, highlights and scores and watch live matches too. Get the Sportsmax app. Very enjoyable league, the High School Football League in Trinidad and Tobago. If you're ever there and get an opportunity to watch it, it's worth watching some really nice venues and a very competitive league. Obviously you have dominant schools in that league, Napa Ema College and others, but very competitive. The turnout seems tremendous when I see the matches. Very well supported as well. And you know, it's all over the island, north, south, east and west and Tobago as well where you can take the ferry over at a plane. And even though the Tobago schools have not, well for some time now, have not really done all that well in the championship league, they still are represented. Here's Thomas again. Has been causing lots of problems on this right hand side. Shakes free of his marker. Can he send a delightful ball through? It was delightful, but it didn't go through. Here's Morrison trying to break for Jonathan Grant through now to Parkes. Has for company. Looks to be Stevon Johnson made that Marlon Cunningham. Yeah, actually won the throw in did Mona. Thomas in possession once more. Peralta on this one now for Mona. Gordon gets in the area. Does Gordon stays on his feet, brings it across, but. Played out for a corner kick. The Mario and Harris also they are waiting for that one. The number 11 for Mona, but worthwhile play from the defenders. Brian Williams in particular for Jonathan Grant to play it out. Here's the corner kick from Denzel Mackenzie. Heather is through, but only to a defender who was able to clear it. Dominic Grant trying to rally his troops. It's amazing how high this Mona back line is allowed to play as well. In fact, all players except for Kim Bernad are both the half line at some points. Just shows the dominance that they have over this Jonathan Grant team so far. Are inspired there was trying to outrun Mona's number 18. That player was Giovanni Robinson. Yeah, that number 18 player. Jonathan Grant, they have a throwing deep in their half. They've really been pegged in their half. Carlton Brown now for Mona in the area. He's trying to hustle his way through to gold, but here's Lawrence Barrett. Swazo for Mona. Barrett connecting well with Morrison, but Kim Bernad was always ahead in covering that one. Swazo. Peralta does well first time. Happy to see the sun out. Of course, there was a flood watch on the island, and I'm happy that Issa didn't go the route of the Met Office. Let's see the route of this ball. Bernad handles it easily in the end. Waste no time in releasing it forward. Grant doing well to clear. Maybe why he has eight assists already. That was actually a good release, and nearly played in two of his attackers. And it's the high line of Mona. Jonathan Grant, they still haven't been able to beat the offside trap or the water trap, which is no on us. Please don't that sunshine you're talking about. I guess the officials decided that it is quite hot. And even though the sun is out now and so on, the trough that he mentioned over the island, there is still quite a bit of grey clothes around. I mean, it's not threatening, but it is there. Camille Wolfe having a lot to talk with his team about, of course, down a goal on the afternoon, five goals on aggregate. Yeah, that's all the action you can get on the sports press app. So much channels to choose from. So much sport to look at as well. Oh, she's enjoying it. And she's enjoying your voice, too. Also racing as well. Not on that sport. Sport of Kings, if you ask me to cut. And yeah, we're back to football. So both matches available today from the JC Ashton I am complex. And of course, on YouTube as well, matches in the Dacosta, Carter Chambers and coming to duties. Or he loves himself some Dacosta football by his own admission. Yeah, double header in St Elizabeth. Big matches going on there and there, round of 32, around of 16, actually, sorry. So of course, in the Dacosta Cup, matches on today, that will be televised live. Yes, big match between home team Stets and Clarenin College. Yeah, that's the second of the double header. Yeah, that will be a poster game as well, both with wins in their first matches. Stets defeat in Cornwall College in their first match of that group. And then Clarenin College defeat in Margolli. In fact, Margolli, they lost 2-0, but I thought they did pretty well to hold Clarenin to just 2 goals. Here's Peralta. Can he convert? Oh, that just one of the upright. Berman straight in with himself. And Peralta, who scored twice already this season, favors the left foot, should have buried that overlapping wingback. And yeah, he should have hit the target there. He knows it as well. Dante Peralta is father, part of the coaching staff. Pretty good football in his own way. Dane Peralta, 2 assists to go with his 2 goals. Dante, that probably should have been 3rd airs, his father. He was on interview duties earlier as well with Craig Butler. Talking about the diversity of the team and what they bring to the table, not taking their opponents lightly. Yeah, booted out by Brian Williams for throwing. Jonathan Granthier under the weather. So the other matchup at that double head, of course, between Bebe Koch and Manchester High, and those two teams that have won, they are opening matches as well, Manchester. So two top of the table clashes. Yeah, Manchester got the bit of... Tacky 4-1. Correct. And Bebe Koch, they beat Happygrove 3-2. Come from behind as well, I think it was. Happened to see the Tacky able to represent themselves well. Here's Swazer, that charged down, of course. I'm from the Fatch of St. Mirrod. Love to see more St. Mirrod schools going deep into the competition. That hasn't happened in quite a while. Certainly not at the under 19. The Costa Club level are at the under 16, under 14 level either. Yeah, Tacky more known for producing cricketers at the schoolboy level. John Campbell. John Campbell, the biggest of them, yeah. West Indies player, Jamaica player. Alwyn Williams, Jamaica player as well. He's actually out now due to sickness. Williams, but a very good all-rounder. Played with John Campbell as well, and both of them have transitioned to the senior level. So yeah, not necessarily the same kind of products from football just yet, but I agree with your good to see. And for a long time in that game, Manchester are leading by a goal to Neal. Tacky were right there, and then as the second half progressed, Manchester ran away with it 4-1. Here's Jonathan Grant through parks. Hustled all the ball in. Counton Brown using his keeper. Of course, into Elizabeth, a strong parish in the Costa Club football as well. Certainly, here's Peralto. Gets by his man. Gets it across, and a shot from Brown. Make that garden. Tested the keeper somewhat, but it was saved. Yeah, that should have been a goal. Great pass by Peralto. Here's Mackenzie. It's just too easy for Mona. You somewhat wonder what is keeping them encouraged, because as I said, a five-goal lead, and it's just been so easy for them. I would say good work by Craig Butler as well, to keep them enthused about coming out here and putting on a top performance, looking to score more goals. Here's a corner kick. Still in a dangerous place. Peralto chips it in once more, but that goes out. It's a goal kick for Jonathan Grant. Yeah, no signs to suggest that Jonathan Grant are going to get anywhere into this game, or this tie at all, trailing by five goals. There's really no way back for them. And it's probably really about keeping the respect here, limiting the amount of goals that Mona will score. Maybe even trying to get on the score sheet themselves. You look at their record this season. A pretty good one. Came second in Group C behind Haile Selassie, who won the group. And Jonathan Grant, six wins and three draws from their first. So just a one loss, which came at the hands of Haile Selassie. 31 goals scored seven against. So a pretty good first-round record. But again, you step up now when you come into this round of 16 and getting up against a team like Mona is one of the best. And would argue that they're probably the best in the competition. Well, the argument will be settled over the upcoming weeks. Certainly November. Month of decision in both the Manning and the Costa Cups. Champions Cup action will start in this month as well. Last year, Mona, they were put to task by Clarendon College in their opening round match-up in the Champions Cup. Clarendon College beat them three nil on the day. And that's where we spoke about that defensive vulnerability in the back line. Attacked heavily from the wide ears, which is where Clarendon College is strong as well. They had some really good overlapping win-backs, Jones, especially. And then you had like, for example, Christopher Hull coming off of one flank in the forward line, who's still there. It was a tough task, and Mona never really got into the game. We weren't allowed to, in fact. They did a lot more defending than forward play. Pinoc can't come down. Mitchell were nullified almost on Hugh Mitchell and said, Pinoc, there are two, well, they had many stand-up players, but I think those two were the biggest players for them last season. Without question, Trauto behind his corner kick, lifted high in the area, headed out. Here's Jonathan Grant, Lawrence Barrett. Crucial challenge that from Alex Soazo to avert the danger. He gets the yellow card. Of course, the goalkeeper was way off his line. There are some who say, well, perhaps yellow card is fortunate for Alex Soazo. They've been so close to the halfway line. Of course, the referee would have taken that into consideration. But they have a free kick. Grant didn't really lift it. Easily handled by Mona. They give up a throw, but minor matters in the thick of things. Now they get a corner, just does Jonathan Grant. I'm able to play out Thomas on the ball. Here's Antoine Ellis loses possession. Gordon and Peralta combining well on the left and flank. Gordon cuts in, gets by one. They're a bit too much there. And Tafari Williams able to dispossess him, but Mona, they still have the opportunity. Well, they lose possession again. Here's Morrison. Hasn't been the most attractive matchup we've seen from a possession point of view, Chris. Of course, Mona very direct. They're not really passing the ball around aimlessly. They're going straight to the objective. Sometimes as a result, they lose possession, but that's just their own style of play. It doesn't lend itself to perhaps beautiful football. Well, they lose it for maybe about 10 seconds. And then they have it. I'm sure the percentages must be heavy in Mona's favor. I would like to think almost 80-20 at this point. And then they get careless like that kind of situation with McKenzie giving away the ball. But again, it's the fact that Jonathan Grant really are not threatening him in any way. They're no pressure on them. Yeah. And as they say, a throw in the park, another yellow card. Patrick Parks, the guilty player there. Freaky-cliffed it in the area, but easily handled by a Kim Bernard. Excellent distributor of the ball with feet and hand. Here's another run, and it seems to be... It will be another penalty. Another penalty, yeah. It's clear. I guess we brought him down. Patrick Parks, who is on a yellow card, he just received a yellow card, Parks. Well, referee Hedley. I think his aim is to try and keep 22 players on the park. It's already hard enough for Jonathan Grant. I would like to think that that should have been another yellow card and ascending off, but he decides to ease him up, as they would say. So Thomas brought down again. It's the second time Thomas has been brought down and the second time he's earned a penalty. And well, it's Bernard who is going to take this one. Interesting. So a chance for three on the season. He'll be out doing himself. Scored twice last season. Did it came Bernard? Had three assists as well last season, so he's already done better. Certainly has grown some more as well. In some of those matches last season he actually came out of the goal. Here's Bernard, can't strike, and that was a rifle beyond Stevie York. Does the valley rock as well? And Bernard is rocking two goals. Six on aggregate. And you can talk about the domino. Six are the domino five, whichever one you like. That's a rocket down the center. Yeah, I think York was trying to get out of the way. He did get a hand to it, but no chance to save it. Look at that. He was protecting his face there, York. You have dry humor, Chris Taylor. That would have taken his head off. It really would have. Yeah. No surprise from a goalkeeper's perspective. They usually like to drill them with the instep, and that was no different. I do think he's gotten a little bit tall. It was a imposing figure last season, but you look at him. I think he looks more trim for a goalkeeper. There was talks last year that he looked a little bit overweight, a little bit heavy. Yeah. But I think he's trimmed. He looks a lot fitter this season, and he's moving better as well, which is a good sign for him. I mean, outside of Mona going forward. Say thanks to the heavens for his opportunity to score his third of the season. Not many goalkeepers would have those kind of stat three goals and eight assists. So midfielders might be liking those kinds of statistics. Can he keep another clean sheet already at six this season? And of course, you see again, evidence of his ability to distribute. Even at far distances. Yeah. Jonathan Grant, they're trying to come through. Lawrence Barth, they're taking it down nicely, trying to turn. But he's tackled up, gets the foul. Ellis now on the ball, trying to bring it to Barrett. Barrett has space to turn, turns again, and he turns into traffic. Doesn't have the navigation of the taximen in Kingston to turn out of traffic, Chris. Very good tackle coming in as well. Well timed, if he's hurt his shoulder as well. Lawrence Barrett there, holding that shoulder. He's already scored twice this season, Barrett. Medical staff attended to him, as well as the opposing goalkeeper. You're very headly indicating that the stretcher should come on for him. Of course, they're eager to get the game on hand. Here's what happened to Barrett. It was an awkward foul, awkward foul rather, not a foul. He's back up now. Craig, the philosopher certainly has the beard of the manifold from Greece. Giving some instructions to Alex Swazo. That beard is young in comparison. Certainly it is. Ellis on the ball for Jonathan Grant, being tackled up by Swazo. Mono players definitely have a physical presence about them that will easily ease off many of the Jonathan Grant players. They, some of them look much smaller than the Mono players. Barrett in parks, especially. Morrison too, parks with the delivery. Mona able to break now. Carlton Brown connected with Gordon Cunningham. Fell nicely for Denzel McKenzie. McKenzie cuts inside, shoots! And he goes wide. It's a corner kick though, took a deflection. Yeah, the pass coming from McKim Bernal yet again. Awkward bounce, free to McKenzie. You saw what he was trying to do. He just used the defender as a guide to place it into the far corner. But there was a deflection, a slight touch. He probably prevented Mona from adding this. Mona team 18 assists. That's a lot. That's a whole leap. In fact, I think that's the number that Dujon Richards ended up accounting for last season. 30 goals, 18 assists was it, I think. And I think that was the head that the leader in terms of assists last season in the Manning Cup. So for McKenzie to already be at 18 is really a phenomenal feat. And Mona still have some distance to go in this competition. Seven goals to his credit, Denzel McKenzie. National under 17 representative early this year. Concord of championships. Missed out on qualifying for the under 17 World Cup. Alice for Jonathan Grant loses possession. Gets the call from referee Hedley. Takes it quickly. Barrett loses it. McKenzie connected with Thomas now who will switch flanks with Gordon. Gets the return ball from Thomas. Does McKenzie at the. Byline plays it out from a defender for a corner kick. And the intensity certainly just by the body language, Chris, of the Mona players. Not at the level that they started at, of course, with a six goal cushion. It's hard to blame them with the first half coming to a closing. Next three minutes. They have a corner kick lifted in the area. The header was from Thomas, but there was a foul in the build up. Can't be made on Mona's behalf there. Have a free kick in their own half. It's a throwing actually. Bernard, miscontrol that releases Denzel McKenzie. He's fouled. Referee Hedley goes into his pocket once more. It's going to be a yellow card being flashed to Tafari Williams. The six goal man for Jonathan Grant was thrown from Demarion Harris. And Denzel McKenzie was definitely thrown goal. Let's see what magic they can spark from this. Favour position for free kick. Chardonnayon beating six times over the ties so far. Three players still lying for presiding duties over this free kick. Peralta and Thomas leave it for McKenzie. It's ready to go and it's in. Duncan McKenzie seems unbothered. Denzel McKenzie seems unbothered by that one. Easy does it for the number 10. It goes this season for the man named after a movie star. Denzel Washington McKenzie. And with those skills, he might go on the big screen. He's already there. Yeah, disappointing. From a goalkeeper's perspective, York. But yeah, good finish. In the end for McKenzie, you'll take it. A man who would know this feel quite well. A former Jamaica College schoolboy, McKenzie. And as I said, getting it done under 17 experience. Now it looks very composed. But that should have been saved. And another nail in the coffin of Jonathan Grant. Well, the halftime will give them some time to perhaps try out some of those nails, Chris. But at the half, Mona three. Jonathan Grant Nill. Man in cup second round action. The round of 16. Mona in cruise control. Several goals to their credit over the time. It's Max two live hall football club versus Waterhouse Sunday. One PM two in the rest of the Caribbean. And in the second match of the double head of Mount Pleasant versus Dunbeholder three 15, four 15 of the rest of the Caribbean. That two on sports Max two confirmation of the first half score. Mona three. Jonathan Grant Nill. Getting ready for second half action here at the JC Ashenheim Stadium. So yeah, we're seeing the action as the Mona players warm up for second half action. Fans are also there in the stands. So they are going to score seven nil right now. Chris seven heaven for Mona. Yeah, easy for Mona. Hi. Last year semifinalists in this competition. Jonathan Grant, not much for them. You see quite a few substitutes warming up for Jonathan Grant. It's not on cam at the moment, but why not exposure for their entire bench as well. No way back to me for Jonathan Grant in this fixture. So right now playing for pride, trailed by seven goals and aggregate three on the day. And when you looked at those first half statistics, just 25% in terms of possession for them. Good to see the support out as well. Dujan Richards is here. Chelsea player now, national representative. Part of the Phoenix Academy. So always close by Craig Butler when he's in Jamaica, Dujan Richards. Leading goal score last season in this competition with Kingston College. What 30 goals, 18 assists. Phenomenal feed for the man. Big number 10. And every subsequent number 10 will live under the shadow of Dujan Richards, especially at Kingston College. Of Dujan Richards, especially at Kingston College for sure. Even the schoolboy football montages song has had references to his accomplishment. Gone to international big league. Yeah, trying to get a singing there. Adrienne Vassal coming on from Alex Soazo. That's the first half change made by Mona. We've always been done up a tough singing Dean Smith. It's a DJ and I'm wondering about. I don't believe I have some abilities here. That was actually a part of my EP, a song of that genre. I see another yellow card being produced early here by referee Headley. Tough challenge coming in. Was it on Thomas again? Is it Thomas who is done? It looks like in Romarian Thomas. Ellis has picked up the yellow card. It was Thomas who earned both penalties, Romarian Thomas. I do think it's him again. Busy figure yet number eight. The pink boots scored twice in the 4-0 win in the first leg. Won both penalties here today. On the platter for him, he fires, but that was going wide. Jonathan Grant getting the opportunity to clear but making a meal of it really. Guard now. Turns inside, lifts it up. Substitution being made by Jonathan Grant, Javier and Thomas. The number nine coming on leaving the field to Mario Morrison. Bit of an injury for Morrison. Wouldn't be surprised if they made quite a few changes. Jonathan Grant, as I said, gives some opportunities to some of the fringe players who haven't been playing much throughout the season. Bernard Dures, Dante and Stevenson there, getting to play out Johnson. Coming into the round of 16, Jonathan Grant would only have suffered one loss against Haley Selassie, a 2-0 loss. But apart from that, a favorable result. So there still might have been opportunities, some of those games to utilize their bench more. Six wins out of 10. But they have certainly had to use their best contingent against this Mona team, and it still hasn't been good enough. It's been a cruise. It's been here. It's really been easy for Mona, Thomas. Gordon chasing, but that one will go out of touch. Some academy. Mona High School have built here, as I said, since Craig Butler arrived three seasons ago. This is his third season. But as I said before, Mona we're unable to hold on to players. No, they're recruiting players. Quite a few players on this Mona team have come from outside as well. In fact, four or five former JC players in their squad, former JC school boys in their squad. Let's go better than that, Chris. Some players are even from other countries. Alex Swaz, of course. The number six who has come off it, came off at halftime being one of them. Yeah, they spend time at Hillel Academy as well. One of the private schools of Kingston. Peralta, who does hit the ball, was originally at St. George's College. So he's made a move as well. Cole Keeper Bernard, who is fetching that ball now, was originally from Spanish Town, there's Swaz, or calling Mexican. So lots of movement here. And no surprise, because I guess with Craig Butler at the helm, it will encourage players and will, you know, bring personalities to the school. Persons probably want to be, as you said, the next two genre, the next Leon Bailey, in terms of exposure, in terms of going overseas and at the Phoenix Academy. He's been able to give that kind of exposure as well. Players want to be in systems where the means are there to aid their development. Systems of play, proper nutrition programs, supplements, all of those things, which develop players physically as well, which is important in terms of their growth. Certainly. We've seen a lot of the smaller schools have talent, but as the season goes on, they struggle to keep up, they fall away. And it's because of those other things. Depth of squad also important in long seasons. So yeah. That's something that moaned a lot last year. And that was due primarily to registration issues in terms of having players having to sit out. But this year, they have a full bench. But some coaches still like to have reasonably small squads. He did speak to that as well. But he said that then. But I guess Mackenzie Thomas. Oh, yeah. Of course, he himself, Craig Butler, is a product of Jamaica College. He went to school here. So we know these ground very well. Some more changes that we spoke about from Jonathan Grant. No surprise. That change will come in a short while. As Jonathan Grant, they tried to build from the back his vessel for Mona. Gordon did well to get on the end of that one. Jonathan Grant able to come forward, but only midway there half. Ball through to Brown. Offside flag was up. And the passes, they have really been few for Jonathan Grant. Here's Barrett. That cutout by Peralta. Peralta again doing defensive work there. Easy handling for Akim Bernard. Converting the second goal penalty. Struck well. Struck like a keeper. Laces behind it. Yeah. And Stevie York had to really shield his face. Gordon doing well to take that down first time. Good defensive work from Parks to push it out. But it's Thomas now. Did great work to get two penalties. Did Thomas wins the corner kick for Mona. So. Javid Wallace leaves the field. And finally Robinson enters 18 for 19. Here's a corner kick for Mona. Lifted in the area. And the bicycle kick from Rabina Gordon. It did go on target. Didn't have a lot of power behind it. But it really has a beauty to it. It went down rather than going forward. And this thing would have come off because of that. Downward trajectory is another attempt. But the clear is Jonathan Grant. Haven't been doing much of that. Here's Robinson lifts it in the area. The header, well, was blocked by York. The follow-up by McKenzie. Here's Mona still in possession. Thomas Johnson. Thomas lifts it across. And what a finish from Denzel McKenzie. His second of the afternoon. It was a great pass from Romarian Thomas. He's been instrumental in three of the four goals on the afternoon for Mona. And Stevie York beaten at the near post by a superb tap in. He really did well first time, Kristela. Another four-nil performance from Mona High. Nice build-up. I can't just, way too easy. And there are a class above Jonathan Grant. Romarian Thomas with the delivery. Excellent. Right on the feet. Right on the right foot of Denzel McKenzie. And yeah, 56th minute finish. And he now has nine on the season. Those McKenzie picks up the assist Romarian Thomas. And as I said, has been fully involved in the play today, winning two penalties and then providing that fourth goal for McKenzie. Here's Ellis. Ellis answers for Jonathan Grant. Here's the player to watch. And Mona, they weren't watching really. And a cool finish in the 57-minute. Antoine Ellis gets one back. Nice consolation goal from a Jonathan Grant perspective. Positive moment for them. Get on the score sheet. The first they've got on the score sheet in this tie. Four-nil they lost the first leg. Good build-up play. Nice finish. Yeah, no chance for Bernard. And Ellis picking up his fifth goal of the season. Second highest scorer for this Jonathan Grant team. Still lots of work to do though. Eight-one on aggregate. Perhaps that will give some amount of motivation for Mona to really go even harder at it. Especially if the substitutes come on, they'll be trying to prove a point to the coach. He did mention that they have a habit, does Mona, of giving the substitutes the opportunity to play especially when they're comfortably in front. They've only made two substitutions so far, Mona. Two of a possible seven in four periods. Here's Thomas. Releases. Vassal. Look at the shot. Wonderfully saved by York. Corner kick down from Mona. Let's see what they can do from this one. Mackenzie leases it deep to the back post. Header from Urbina Gordon on into his own player. Does well to regain possession. Wins another free kick. Gordon and Harris there. Harris queues it up for Thomas. Barry trying to do some defensive work for Jonathan Grant. Thomas plays it off him for a corner kick. Thomas lifts that one in the area. Tell you what you really have to have a cute sense of sight to discern between the number three and the number eight. That's eight. I tell you if you can find number three, you'll see the flight I'm having. That's for Mona. Changes are ringing. Laurence Barrett coming off and Dominic Prince entering the field of play. Number two for Jonathan Grant. For Mona, Demarine Harris leaves and Sean Leighton enters. Started playing three seasons ago as a 14 year old Sean Leighton has grown to a six footer. I saw him when I was getting some uniforms for my son and I tell you I was shocked that the tiny tat was torn over by Chris. Gets his first touch on the ball. Gordon plays it for Mackenzie. The return ball wasn't good. Was it a handled ball in the area? Yes, it was. Barbara Headley points to the spot. Again. Third penalty. This time Mackenzie with the delivery into the area and right away as he played the pass, he was trying to signal to the referee that he was obviously a handball. The assistant agreed. Purvell Beckett on that far side. Here it was a passing side. Hand away from the body, wasn't it? Yeah. Unfortunate from a Johnson-Grant perspective. Probably enough distance that he could have put his arms closer to his torso. And third change in terms of the penalty kicks today. We've seen Bernard. We've seen Gordon. Now we see Peralto. Dante Peralto from 12 yards. It's saved. Stevie York with a great save. He hasn't given up. Chris Taylor. And there was some amount of force behind that one. Wasn't the easiest penalty to save perhaps in terms of where it was struck. Yes, but yeah, the force behind it, you really had to pull out some strength. Yeah, straight on the middle from Peralto though. Not good in terms of placement. Just went for raw power and it wasn't as much power as Bernard. And in fact, the one with Bernard, it actually followed him. So had to go keeper in an awkward position. This time he was able to get his hands up in a strong position to make the save. It was like a double save because it almost as if it stopped on his hands and then he pushed it out. Peralto deciding to strike with the right foot. We've seen him use a left as well unable to add a third for the season. Here's Mona. Thomas. Wonder who their designated penalty kicker will be when the matches get a lot closer and in tight situations where you you don't really have the luxury like here where they're leading by. Here's Bernard. Bernard is making a run teeth in the opposition half and he's still here. Science to go back now. The offside flag would be up against Gordon. Adventurous to say the least. Becks were good entertainment and I can't help but admit that Craig Butler does provide entertainment value to schoolboy football. I've admonished him that he needs to return to his marketing strategies. Here's a cross from Tafari Williams. Daniel Campbell here. Sean Layton. They clean it out for a throw in. Some signs from a Kimbana there of the famous Colombian goalkeeper. Rene Higuita. Love those kind of overlapping runs coming out getting above the half line with twists and turns. Would need a taller here though. Much longer here you would need. Yes, I'm probably a bit of a moustache as well to go with it. Higuita especially in the 1990 World Cup. His exploits did eventually cost him a goal though. It begins Cameroon if you remember Rajamia. That celebration from Rajamia definitely set alive that World Cup. Dancing by the corner flag. Yeah. It's a free kick in a dangerous position for Jonathan Grant. Let's see if they can convert the strike. Week in the end. Play it out by Chansu. Yeah, you can see that number three will just aside a while ago. It's a throwing for Jonathan Grant. They take it quickly. Trying to lift it in the area. Nathaniel Campbell in all sorts of problems. He tries to try to hold the ball in his feet to turn it away from the players. Akeem Bernard will take the kick checking on his opponent as well. He places the ball right by his head. There's Akeem Bernard. It's the Farah Williams. I actually do wonder if Higuita might be somewhat of his, you know, a goalkeeper that he might look up to or is it from a Craig Butler perspective. Because I can't think of a higher scoring goalkeeper than Rene Higuita. He scored over 40 goals in his professional career, generally, and three times he scored for Colombia at the international level. So it could be something he's thinking of. He's already gone three for the season in schoolboy football. And as I said, probably the original man when it came to the keeper-sweeper style, Higuita, he actually went more than just a sweeper. He was actually playing as a midfielder, sometimes even as a forward. He would get so high up the pitch, a blast from the past. The younger generation needs people like you, Chris. Jamaica College warming up. They have the privilege of playing in the second match-up on their home venue. They have them hide their opponents. The defending champions must remind you. Lead 3-0 on aggregate. So a similar scenario coming into this one. Well, yeah, Mona were leading by four goals to nil. And there's an Eltham team that has lots of work to do. Definitely can't afford to go down early. Or it will end up being a situation like this. At least Jonathan Grant have gotten back a goal. But with an 8-1 aggregate to Mona, it's just really playing out time. Huge campus here at Jamaica College. Of course, you saw the shot of Jamaica College warming up there. Warming up by an adjacent field to this one. And that's another full-sized field. Download the Sportsmax app today. Get it on the Google Play or the App Lab store.

I can tell you my knowledge is little to none. That's for the likes of Lance Whitick and even George Davis. Perhaps your purse isn't little to none. In fact, George Davis, who we just mentioned, his old school is Jonathan Grant as well. He won't be happy with the aggregate toward the score line at the moment. Sorry, George Davis. Good afternoon to you, George. I know you're watching this one. I absolutely know you're watching this one. They've had better days. You'd like to tell you when he was there, which probably was 1999 as well, when they won the Walker Cup. He was still a student. Mackenzie lives this one. Stevie Octlin, well to tip it over. Keneal Wolf, rather, who coaches San Diego, brother of Keneal Wolf, the coach of Jonathan Grant, was on that team, scored the goal. For Jonathan Grant, yeah. For Jonathan Grant to win the Walker Cup. Memories. Layton. And both went to the school as well. Both Keneal and himself obviously went on to play professional football in Woolery and represent at the Rega Boy level as well. Well-known name in Jamaican football, the Wolfback, if you remember. Keneal and Woolery. As a touch of doubly-doubly wrestling to the Wolfback. Would you find that on the app as well? I'm not sure. Perhaps. Here's Keshane Gordon there. Three times he scored this season, Gordon. They're number seven. In fact, one of those three goals came in the first fixture at 4-0 win. Ramona number seven. Not a bad strike. Tipping but not enough to get it under the crossbar. Did have goalkeeper York. Busy for a moment. Has made a couple really good saves in this half. York. We thought in the first half he should have done better. But a telling low save to his left-hand side. He saved a penalty as well. More sprightly in the second half. Mona were the third-ranked team coming out of the first round behind Jamaica College and St. Andrew Technical, who are the top two. And many would say that those three teams are probably the strongest teams they have seen in the Manning Cup this season. Yeah. There are some voices that, you know, reckon St. George's College definitely in the conversation, but certainly not at the level of Mona, St. Andrew Technical and Jamaica College. I mean, St. George's have done well, of course. Yeah. Yeah. As he said, as the rounds progress and the matchups become closer, you look at the squads. These three teams as the top three ranked teams have looked the best in terms of squad depth, ability, and production. When you think that Kishi and Gordon... The other schools have had good individuals, but maybe as a team not the strongest. Yeah. Kishi and Gordon was a starter last season, and he's coming on as a substitute now that shows you that there's some amount of improvement in the overall Mona squad. So... Yeah. I mean, there have been an influx of players but separate and apart from that, the junior squad is also coming up. Here's Vassal. Which does speak well as well for St. George's. That was one of the reasons why their team is a lot stronger this year as well after winning the... Was it the under-16? Around the 14? They went to the final, the under-16 last year, yeah? And lost the champion. Right. Here's Vassal. Release is Kishi and Gordon. No relation to Rabina Gordon. He turns inside, fires. Wasn't a bad shot. A spectacular goal last season against Camperdown in that hotly contested 4-3 match-up. So, update to you from the Dacosta Cup, BB Coke versus Manchester High. BB Coke scoring in the second minute against Manchester High. Of course, they are in the round of 16 and eight teams will qualify for the quarter-finals and that will be two groups of four for the quarter-finals for the Dacosta Cup. Currently, it's four groups of four. Four groups of four, yeah, the top two. And the top two, yeah, we're a good group, yeah. Yeah, big lead for Manchester. They are the pride of the parish of Manchester. Oh, 1-0 for BB Coke actually, my apologies. BB Coke coming off that big win 3-2 against Happy Grove. So, yeah, BB Coke looking to go deep in the tournament, did win the Ben Francis Cup a couple of seasons ago. It's what, 2019 was that? That they won their 2019 the year after Charlie Munt winning the Ben Francis Cup, BB Coke. And, yeah, another strong team coming out of St. Elizabeth. BB Coke, a young school compared to others were never really troublemakers, you would say, in that St. Elizabeth School. But of recent years, they've put together some good units and for them to get two wins from two matches if the result, if the match continues on the same path, that would be big, almost confirming that they would get through to the following the next round. Yeah, Kingston College leading champion 2-0, their encounter at the stadium Eastfield in the Manning Cup. A reverse of what we saw a week, a few days ago, where champion were leading 2-0 only to lose 3-2. So, 5-1 aggregate, it's very difficult for champion and this is champion's away game, is it? Yeah. So, yeah, Kingston College would definitely favor Kingston College as well. Yeah, Kingston College, a champion actually coming into it had to win by two clear goals. So, I don't think at that point, at this point, that will be happening. Here's Mackenzie Fomona, finds Brown does well the turn but the shot high over the bar. Carlton Brown there, two goals to his name this season. So, 20 shots for Mona, two for Jonathan Grant and of the two from Jonathan Grant, they would have converted one. Peralta playing through Robinson, Kishane Gordon now. Rubina Gordon chasing but he's just down recognizing that it's a corner kick for Mona High. Thomas on the ball. Peralta with a free kick for Mona, lifts it in the area, Kishane Gordon. To Thomas who plays it out for Denza Mackenzie. Robinson back to Mackenzie's under pressure but evades his man, sends it in but Layton for the snap shot that went wider the mark. The Farrow Williams trying to clear for Jonathan Grant. Craig Butler trying to show some skills there. Did manage to get it up in the air under some amount of duress. Another change being made for Peralta coming off. Tayshawn Mackintosh coming on and Rashane Rodney coming in for number three, Stevon Johnson. Here's Layton, Kishane Gordon was asking for a better pass from Sean Layton. Play it down for Jonathan Grant. Here's a Sportsmax moment brought to you by the Sportsmax app. Here's a consolation goal for Jonathan Grant. Ball breaking for Antoine Ellis who got by Peralta and fired at home pass to Kim Bernard. The Mona custodian, Ellis stay with that effort. Moves from four goals to five. Five goals, five assists this season for the number seven, the player to watch. Showing why he was given that designation. So four-one on the day, eight-one an aggregate, Mona leading Jonathan Grant. Of course, two of the goals for Mona being penalties. They actually failed to convert one of those penalties. Three chances they had via that route. We attempt that from the substitute, Giovanni Robinson. You can look at that number at the bottom right of your screen. I tell you, it looks like an 18, but it's 30. Perhaps the match commissioner can help us in our plight, Chris Taylor. Insists on different numbering funds. Here's Jonathan Grant. Offside flag is up against the advancing player on that occasion. Another substitution being made by Jonathan Grant. Another super keeper is out now out of his 18-yard box. I've been a garden back in defense now. Amar and Thomas. Close to garden. Garden brings Bernard into the thicker things. Kenzie lifts this one to the direction of Sheldon York. Beautiful pass played in for Brown. Brown finishes for Mona. It's five-one. Carlton Brown. What a difference a year makes. Didn't have much goals to his credit last year, Carlton Brown. But three this season so far. And a cool finish from that build-up play. Yeah, nice ball into the area and composed finish from Brown as well. Started with Robino Gordon through the center of the park. And yeah, his total football scenario wing-back ended up in the six-yard area for Mona. And Carlton Brown will be taken off as well. Heavily criticized last season for his work, especially against Clarendon College where he was actually taken off early as a wing but was really exposed by Holland Company. And yeah, very good season so far this year. Three goals now to go with his five assists. Yeah, done his replacement. Had in their stats. 46 goals in the competition now for Mona. And they've just conceded about five. Four in the first round and now one in two matches against Jonathan Grant. Thomas lifts it for Gordon. He's in Gordon was offside. With a certain change as well. The sun was out a lot. Now those gray clouds that we spoke about have multiplied. A lot cooler, stronger breeze as well. And I wouldn't be surprised if we get some rain as well. Yeah, those are the clouds building every second. And yeah, you're not actually seeing the back part of the mountains anymore. So it's on its way. I mean, with the breeze it will help to push it hopefully away from the ground. But that trough still everything Jonathan Grant. Trying to advance play broken up. Here's Jonathan Grant. Got defensive work from Robino Gordon who gave it away. And the superior physical presence of the Mona players just being the undoing of Jonathan Grant when they do get the opportunity to come forward. Danza McKenzie lifts one forward. Nathaniel Campbell finding Kishane Gordon. Gordon does well to get room for himself. The shot was weak in the end. So quite a few Mona players Chris would have had some saying the player to manner the match conversation. Of course, Danza McKenzie having two goals. But in my mind, Ramarian Thomas, three assists, here's offside. Yeah, I agree with you. I think Thomas has been the best player on the park. I mean, it's been an all-round performance for Mona, but it's been easy for them. But Thomas has been involved in everything that has happened for Mona. Winning the first two penalties, providing for the fourth goal. He's been on the park. He's orchestrated the middle of the park. He's really been the creator and everything. In fact, even now getting deep and stabilizing the back line when on a few occasions that Jonathan Grant have tried to press. I agree with you. I think he's been the best player. Credit to McKenzie for scoring those two goals. One which should have been saved from by the keeper. But yeah. The sharp Williams there. Being a spark in the second half of Jonathan Grant on this right in flank. Fassel doing just enough to keep that one out of harm's way for Mona. Four of signs for Mona, three for Jonathan Grant. Only two minutes of time added. We're in the second of the two. Gordon on the end of that pass from Bernard Gordon. Gordon! It's an assist for the keeper. A goal for Keshane. Gordon the substitute. 6-1 on the day. 10-1. And Craig Butler there. Knowledge in the input of Akeem Brunner. The goalkeeper in that particular play. And talk about starting from the back. But I'm doing well. Just to get by York, the technical ability of the Mona players certainly superior to many of their counterparts. Yeah, and a deflated team is Jonathan Grant. Obviously at this point. They know that it's all over in terms of their season. 6-1. Good for Gordon to get on the score sheet this fourth of the season. Building confidence right throughout the squad, which is important from a Mona perspective, especially with more to come. Arahedli has seen enough. He's seen what he wants to see, I'm sure. Mona comprehensively dismantling their opposition. Jonathan Grant on the return leg of their second round fixture. Akeem Brunner got on the score sheet. Had an assist to boot as well. That's a custodian. He had two. Denzel Mackenzie. A free kick and a tap in from close range. But it's been comprehensive for Mona. They booked their spot in the quarterfinal. And they can be joined by Kingston College, St. Andrew Technical and Haile Selassie or Tivoli. The referees, they have their own time discussing some of the things that they would have seen, that they want to improve on or that was done well. But it's been all Mona in their backyard, you could say. As it really should be using the crowd support and the home advantage to their full credit. Confirmation of the full-time score. Mona, six. Jonathan Grant won here at the JC Ashenheim complex. Got things going. And in that melee there, there was a shot from Harris that had to be blocked and Terral to also try. Ramaren Thomas came forward on quite a few occasions that flashed wide of the upright. And that was an omen of things to come from that number eight. Ramaren Thomas had three assists on the afternoon. Easily handled by the goalkeeper. That free kick from Jonathan Grant. But this is where the game would open for Mona. Fall from Dominic Grant on Ramaren Thomas. And Rabino Gordon converted easily from 12 yards. Added to his goal tally for the season. Rabino Gordon, 13 goals this season. Peralta would also have a shot that flashed wide. Dante Peralta darting in the area. And another shot from Harris was saved expertly by the keeper. Ramaren Thomas would advance again and Parkes bringing him down. Just after Parkes had received a yellow card, Mercy was shown by the officially not handing him another card that would have sent him off. But there was no mercy from that kick. The goalkeeper, Kim Bernard, raw power. Not much replacement. Stevie York could do nothing against that one. Danza McKenzie stepped forward and fired from the free kick. Stevie York really should have done better. A weak palm to that one. Danza McKenzie getting another goal eight at that time for the season. Ramaren Thomas sent his delightful ball in. And a cool finish first time from Danza McKenzie. His second on the afternoon. Nine goals along with 18 assists. For the number 10, the National 117 representative for Mona, Danza McKenzie. Well, they weren't out of it. Not in spirit. Antoine Ellis converting the player to watch for Jonathan Grant getting one back. Distraught on the clean sheet of Mona. And that was a cool finish from the number seven, the player to watch showing why he was given that designation. It would have been hard to come back, certainly. And I'm sure that was the intention. A penalty given on this occasion as a Parkes handed the ball just inside the area. Peralta stepped forward. And a double save of sorts from Sheldon York. The undoing of Mona and Peralta as he tried to get on the score sheet. But it wasn't the end of scoring this ball broke. Well, Carlton Brown for all of his troubles last year showing that there is redemption and there's hope in another year. Getting on the score sheet three for the season for Carlton Brown. The number five for Mona. That was five on the afternoon for Mona. Akeem Bernard. Heating the line with that fast. Kishane Gordon, the substitute came on and converted Cooley in the 90th minute. And a finish in the scoring on the day for Mona. At the J.C. Ashenheim complex. Mona six goals. Ten won an aggregate and the advance to the quarterfinal. Here the stats 13 shots and target for Mona. 26 attempts half of them on target. Two from two for Jonathan Grant. Eight fouls for Mona. Nine for Jonathan Grant. Jonathan Grant, they had the majority of the yellow cards. Three to Mona's one. No red cards. All the players remain in the park. Seven offsides. Four to Mona. They are 12 corners. Jonathan Grant only had one. And Sheldon York had to make seven saves. Akeem Bernard only making one. 75% of the possession with six goals. Mona beating Jonathan Grant. Six one. We go now to Jeney who has the player of the match. The man of the match from Sports Max. Congratulations. You are the digital Sports Max. A man of the match. Romarian Thomas. Romarian Mona High scored 10 goals. Well, 10 won an aggregate. Assess your performance today. Well, it was a very great performance. And first and foremost, I want to thank my family. My coaches and my school and my teammates. Well, in the quarterfinals, you may play either Kingston Technical or stats. How ready do you think Mona is for those opponents? Very ready. We are people for it. Well, I saw a lot of students come out today to support Mona. How important is it for the support of the school for you and your performance? Well, it was a very great one. They build your confidence. I will come out victorious. Well, congratulations and enjoy your man of the match trophy. Thank you. Now we welcome the coach of Jonathan Grant High. Coach, not the results you would have wanted today, but your boys did put up a fight. What do you think might have went wrong? Well, today, I think we were basically late to most of the balls on the field. And Mona basically were more aggressive than us. And our boys, I didn't think they show up today in terms of their spirit towards the game. Well, you speak about late. You guys are also late to the venue. What was the issue there? Well, I guess there was some miscommunication on my part. So, yeah, that's the reason why today. Well, coach, as your season comes to an end, how will you continue to develop these youngsters with your program? Well, football is never ending in development. Our boys are concerned. I think this season, yes, the morning cup, we are out of it. But we still have a chance at the walker cup. So we still continue to train our boys and develop them to be great men in society, not just for football only. Because Jonathan and Grant don't look at it as football only. We develop young men for the society. Well, thank you, coach. Yes, you're welcome. And now we welcome the coach of Mona High, Craig Butler, and his assistant technical director. Coach, your boys put on another show for us today. From your perspective, assess the performance. I think that the quality of the players showed today, the quality of the commitment to the systems that we have showed today. And we employ them. We're able to keep the ball. We're able to attack, to press, and to defend comfortably. So I'm very impressed with the team and a good workout today. You know, more power to Jonathan and Grant. Happy for the challenge. Earlier today when we spoke, you told me about taking it a step at a time. As the quarterfinals are in near sight, how will you keep this high spirit in your camp? Then? Well, we've been working on that from the season, before the season even started, to be honest with you. So we've been pushing the boys from early. We have them running just about at their peak now. So I think we're ready. We're quite ready, as you can see today, even with the changes and the substitutions we've made, we just about kept the same shape and form. And the boys were finishing well today, which is what we were working on, mostly during this week, trying to get them to finish. Coach Butler, I know you're a big advocate for the Mona Pride. The students came out in their numbers today, speak about how important that is for your team and their performance. Mona Pride, it's good for the school. It's good for Jamaica. It's good for the students. It's good for the players. We always push this so that we can develop. And to say Mona, to where it is now, compared to where it was three years ago, not just in football, but throughout this whole school, the camaraderie, they love the pride. Children are dressing properly, making sure they're here, calm, ready for school, happy to go to school. And the teachers are awesome. The principal really is a good committed principal. And I'm proud of the whole school, and it means a lot to us going forward. Well, congratulations, Coach, and all the best in the next round. Thank you very much.
