Yeah, we've said before it's a repeat of last year's final and We can see the the quality so far Wonderful representatives of the Rain Neve Jamaica Premier League these two set piece now for Cavalier and try to Go in there at the near post delivery Cleary That scored one goal so far this season Thomas trying to shield it got a foot in there on the Mario Phillips He felt that wonder Mario Phillips I'm not sure it's if it's a mouth God some players do wear that a lot in basketball as well certainly not go Philips little bit more present in in short order as soon as we recover in the comment box and As soon as the Cavalier player is up Chris said it's not gum Composition between a Peter Nicholson and Suley McCullough the ball delivering inside. It's headed away by Lang Merrick Dwight Merrick Philips back to Merrick trying to move away from Alan does well to recover and win it for Cavalier Link does well He's gonna be called back for the challenge On link the first one from Merrick Couldn't do nothing really with what across a chunk Was trying to do in stopping him Campbell's ball inside is a wonderful one. And here's a chance of taking all that a brilliant finish Romeo Guthrie with his first of the season Inside the era converted it so well and Again, it was Devonte Campbell wins to get it with a wonderful ball inside And the setup to Guthrie Was well done and no mistake after that Great skill on the left-hand side yet again Devonte Campbell just can't manage his pace and trickery And he oh, yes lovely cushion head as well from the far post Was Merrick Merrick out there. Yeah, and the finish and Through the legs of you know Bartlett he might be a bit disappointed with that But yeah, he was on sighted for some time on Guthrie Kept his hand a ball right throughout the four-manet garden to captain And that was a neat finish Finally the deadlock is broken How will Cal Belier respond? Cal Belier would want to get on with things now you have to give credit to Devonte Campbell because he's just Had the key all evening Instagating play after play Which has led to the goal by God three It's been a struggle for all defenders to manage his pace Devonte Campbell really is electric and he's very quick with the ball as well It's only one player that I've seen able to manage his pace so far this season and it's Kenley Deacon from Waterhouse Right back and let me tell you his pace isn't normal either And he's been able to keep up with Devonte Campbell and it was partly because of that why that much ended in a stalemate as well The nullified Campbell on the left-hand side it Kenley Deacon, but apart from him He's been two steps ahead of the rest And sometimes when we say that a winger is pacey Sometimes we kind of undersell it because it's more than just being fast, right? It's about using the feints well and And it's a bit of skill there as well to to get by your mark as well as space on the ball Which which can be such a difference maker when you're trying to unlock a defense It's not just about speed It's a change of pace as well, which is what Campbell does Campbell freezes the defender and then The change of pace is what gets them out a lot of times the flag going up Getting Cavalier out of trouble on that occasion quick acceleration from Cameron as he said he's a skillful player as well Can go left can go right In fact one of the surprises for me generally in the Premier League is that he hasn't scored more goals Devonte Campbell because he has a good strike on him as well Still a long way to go for for his career to be fear Devonte Campbell original product of the Mount Pleasant Academy the real realest of the products Bit there from the start as a footballer Now 20 years old the young man on the ball here Devonte Campbell and he was held hostage there by Watson It's surprising that there's no card there Lucky to get away with it was Watson collected well by Shaniel Thomas trying to win back the ball, but Ramon how is showing some real strength there? Jums are still going How will Cavalier they win it Calvin on it? Trying to utilize his space to get by McCullough, but McCullough utilizing his experience there to get the better of the youngster Allen wins it back and again McCullough in the way There's a whistle on the play I don't think it was the final challenge coming from McCullough Because he got pure ball here, but anyway, we continue Irving Irving's efforts and well by Chacon Davis the captain Means some attention Stands here at Savannah Park pretty active The drummers still going players from the Academy here Mount Pleasant Academy that is Open to make the next step up In the not-too-distant future they're also monitoring them They are the Whitmore and Davion Ferguson Present in the future give it away by Reed Phillips does well. Oh, that's a lovely first touch Was leg late there Well Len is in trouble Second year look out to Giovanni Len In the first half for Stella you mentioned the fact With the first year look out being so soft you hope it wouldn't come down to a situation Where that Would have proven costly To now issue a second year look out to Len who has to leave the park exactly 20 minutes later It was on the 30th minute That it happened that yellow card ridiculous the yellow card and now it has cost Cavalier further and Ling was having a good game as well really good game and You agree with this yellow card. This is a yellow card for sure, but the first one was ridiculous. I Mean you'd say From a Giovanni perspective that knowing that you're in a yellow card. You just can't win in that reckless manner Have to be a little bit more Tactical with your challenges maybe a little bit more finesse if there's such a word in a challenge But that was reckless. They will have to make some changes as well not necessarily to the personnel, but to the tactics Formation You know it is possible that either read or Irving could be a part of that back line Well, this is in a dangerous spot Phillips behind it to be behind it the wall already constructed by Cavalier Here's a drive that's wide of the mark Cummings there with the effort Yeah, they wanted to evade the situation of going over the wall and under the bar setting up Cummings But he dragged that one wide Initially thought there was a touch as well I think that's what the one place is pleasant place thought that he was a corner, but no Captain play how well Was trying to find Guthrie who was in no position to get that one and he needs to be replaced his will ready signal Signal the substitution to be made Minor to download the sports max app today from the Google player at the App Store. I Think that was time maybe up, you know Yeah, I think that was the initial injury may have Well, that's sure exactly what's happening. Not sure if it's the Cox's bone or the hip and clear discomfort. Obviously can't move freely Unfortunately for Guthrie, obviously it was from the challenge as well She was a strong one from Lane read Allen across to Watson Shandy James comes on from unpleasant Replacing Romeo Guthrie the gold scorer and Robinson Ronaldo Robinson coming off being replaced by Alex Xavier Gooden talk about making his transition to the big time Wilson at your technical high school Youngster, you're a card being shown to Phillips Here's an opportunity to shot. That's wide of the mark From Dwayne Allen Flag is up for offside against us across a chunk who has been trying hard but has been out of the game here today Lovely from Calvin But apparently he got that legally the referee side Couldn't committing the foul there really close on Campbell Lofted ball inside at the back post handled by Bucklett well When behind him merit, but our pleasant players still trying to press Quite a few players warming up as well ranking In the mix Melvin Doxley as well Daniel green. Yeah going through the paces Wonder if we'll see him at some point There have been several high caliber meetings on the sidelines Well another and also warming up. I wouldn't be surprised if Chong was taken off At the back post ball delivered inside looking for Chanel Thomas the flag at stayed down again, the ball lofted inside and Chacon Davis coming out on top Hurls it out looking for Devonte Campbell to Philips Philips was trying to return the favor or lovely touch inside to Thomas Thomas goes outside and the quick ball back inside Didn't quite work out for Cavalier on that occasion But definitely see what they are trying it just wasn't good enough It was on though It was actually Watson who tried to execute it This Calvin was most central on that occasion to read has it Watson having a trying to play out of The back Thomas does well Trying to beat Topi Chance for Allen Allen Familiar save by Chacon Davis He was aiming for the top corner here, but Chacon Davis was equal to the task And bouncing after as if he was waiting for another opportunity to let fly a dive Too big save for Chacon Davis. Look at him get up there and then just bounce after Good spring from Davis that was heading into the top corner from Allen and here's an opportunity and Davis goes down to collect He's had a good game enjoys his work Davis Supreme it fits as well Takes his training very seriously Chacon Davis Here's an opportunity Calvin surrounded by two Gets across inside it's a new Thomas. Oh, he goes down inside the box of penalty awarded to Cavalier Shandy James trying to plead his case. I saw some slipping inside the box Let's see what happened here, Chris Taylor All inside the area Thomas looks to pull away his foot didn't he shandy James or at least he tried to He was sleeping He was sleeping But he became an obstacle still Thomas felt it went down. I Mean that angle doesn't tell the whole story, but what I can see is Okita Nicholson was in a good position. He was right there Smart move by Shaniel Thomas just to stop to try and cut in force the Play Shaniel Thomas looking for a second goal this season Thomas will find the corner wonderfully taken By Shaniel Thomas. He gets the right way to Davis But that was too well placed in the end at Cavalier Or down to ten men they have equalized here to buy the pockets one-one And now the changes will come he would be disappointed Davis You could see the reaction that ball actually went under his left hand in the end But the pace of it the pace of it from Thomas Well, the placement was exact and the pace a bit too much Well earned it well taken and now the substitutions come there is Daniel Green Fresh from his exploiting Vietnam and Marlon Allen Back in his hometown parish of St. Anne Back from a couple really good seasons with Arnett Gardens. There's Daniel Green He was a league's joint leading goal scorer in 2021 With a tough or a by-grade 13 goals they scored that season Both went to the same team in Vietnam Both are back in Jamaica Macketson cannon by the way has come on for Cavalier as well is replaced Shamar Watson Well, we have about 15 minutes to go we have a game in our hands This game going the course of what took place in the final so far where Cavalier had to get an equalizer in that one Are they doomed they wouldn't have minded having Colin Anderson Back here Cavalier He was the one who got the equalizer in the final Marklet holds on I Had it read Irving looking for options Chanel Thomas Calvin hesitated with the path then Puts it in a place of trouble for his team Mount Pleasant looking to transition Taking their time with the man advantage The captain McCullough asks for it Sends it to Daniel Green Green making the run Will get there Philips now Green gets it back Switching the play ball inside is not a bad one It's headed away by Ming caught eventually by Barclay Requires some attention It's not time for the sports max at moment of the game And it's a wonderful goal developed Well by Campbell Merck with a knockdown but through the finish but we're getting his first go to the campaign and Doing it for Mount Pleasant these days. They have many dance routines I'm probably thinking that it's just a matter of time as they patiently build up McCullough Jamoy Topi now is trying to find Daniel Green Nicely done by Allen Good fit throw it Cummings with the coverage good with a long throw there Cummings had to just head that behind for a corner kick to Cavalier Critical moments in the game now just ten minutes left It's been a high intensity game And even though it's pretty cool Those legs will be feeling it Concentration a must now Indeed it is a must There's a liver inside and the head on target goal Well, just like that from behind put delivery from Gadiel Irving and Shaquan Davis could do nothing about that That is a brilliant finish from Calvin Steering it into the far corner and he would be more disappointed with his defenders with Shaquan Davis Because there's nothing he could do to get there Wow, what a turnaround and Mount Pleasant now steering down the barrel of their first defeat of the season Cavalier couldn't get past them all of last season now What a finish this game McCullough on it Phillips track sweep dot wide Picked up by Howell Daniel Green Topi pass was predictable Phillips needed better there and Cavalier they are perfect at Managing the time who'd have thought that Cavalier would have been able to turn this around Especially after going down to ten men But Mount Pleasant they aren't done lovely from Mori and the referee Allowing that one to continue That's got to be a foal there got to be a foal Mount Pleasant still with it though McCullough Cutting inside thinking of a shot and that's a good block from Calvin And Thomas realizing that he doesn't have the support will have to turn back, but he's lost it The cavalry was late in support of Shanil Thomas there Allen Or lovely from Adrian Reed must have done that occasion by Shandy James Lovely one two between Howell and Green as Peter Google the owner of Mount Pleasant Look it up Seem trying to get the equalizer now time for the Trinidadian the young tree to make his mark And a lot expected from the youngster Nathaniel James Is getting ready to well he's actually on the park Mount Pleasant looking for that equalizer Two Cavalier players attacking it and applying the pressure not allowing Mount Pleasant to settle at all Davis evades the challenge still pressing high Devonte Campbell back on the left trying to thread that one through James lovely ball green and Trying to hit it first time in fact did hit it first time on the volley but Couldn't find the target And today is pitch side Yes, Donald, I am pitch side with the core CEO for professional football Jamaica limited Kimo Berg Kimo, I know you're enjoying this match so far. You said that you want to see more goals Yeah, man, how much more goes you want to see and from who ideally I want to see two more goals So I want to see Mount Pleasant score one more and then anybody score after that because of course We're all about the funds right and the funds love to see some goals Right it's about exciting football and that's what that's what the JPL is producing And that's what we want to continue to produce going forward speaking of fans There aren't much in the stadium today, but a good turn out especially from Mount Pleasant traveling so far What can we do in the league to bring the fans are just marketing so that more people can come out and support on a Sunday and a Monday So that's that's exactly what we're working on right now, right?

So then I think we thank you. Can why what don't increase back to you? Let's watch the game Thanks, Janette. My pleasure and still Going forward looking for the equalizer. We're hearing that seven minutes of stoppages will be played There's an opportunity for green And There's a through in awarded to my pleasant Cavalier was open that it would go the other way Green with the dink again looking for Devonte Campbell That's the clearance from Gooden and Chaniel Thomas coming away with it robbing Cummings And the lob And then tried to put his body on the line there to stop that Here is James. Was there a nudge behind? Yep Adrian Reed Maybe it was Irving No, it was Reed with a nudge Phillips is behind this one. He needs a good delivery here Mount Pleasant looking for the equalizer There's the ball inside the area headed away by Reed It's come to Sandy James Sandy James his ball inside the area headed away once more James Now out wide to Devonte Campbell Campbell's ball inside floated inside headed away and Buck let's build it and he has a chance for Mount Pleasant Now they managed to clear but not too far out how else ends that wide and he has a trinidadian with the shot That's wide of the mark It was so close For Nathaniel James Did Buck let get the touch on it a pearly did should have done better with the first attempt at claiming it though But James effort Just wide of the mark and yeah, you got fingertips apparently still couldn't spot it from that replay Campbell's ball inside Need to be a good one from the Mount Pleasant perspective here They are applying the pressure There's the ball inside headed away not too far away still kept alive to be trying to win it He goes down and the whistle blows. It goes the free kick in favor Of Cavalier He doesn't know what it's like to lose this season Piedor Whitmore Mount Pleasant will try again We've seen a really good game here Nathaniel James trying to thread that out wide Run into traffic Did he time that run to perfection? He did Shaniel Thomas he can't finish and a brilliant save once again by Shaquan Davis That would have ended it as a contest Thomas was looking for a second on the night Lovely pass with the outside of the boot Thomas picking it up. He was being closed down in for the far corner, which was the right idea Good save Davis good football all round Trying to hold up the play Well, he has kept that one in play and it's turned behind for a corner kick They have some more defending to do Cavalier James To send this one in At the near post flicked on and deflected and goes behind once again another corner Back to back corner kicks here for Mount Pleasant This game has seen a lot of twists and turns Here is James's ball inside Barclay got a hand on it Camber does well to win it sends it back out wide James does well James well Wasn't on the same wavelength there have a brief discussion in terms of man the match, but It's been such a good all-round performance, but I like the effort of Calvin what he has offered offensively and defensively and That's the end of the game The defending champions have lost for the first time this season And they have been brought down closer to earth by the team Who were beaten in the final last season Cavalier? It's a good win It really is a very good win They had to come from behind they had to do it with 10 Shanil Thomas on target and so to Jelmaar Calvin The young man from Antigua and Barbuda Devonte can't be played out of his skin in this game But at the end of the day all three points going to Cavalier As they got the better of Mount Pleasant by the odd goal in three as we take a look at the full-time highlights here Mount Pleasant dictated Terms in the early stages. That was some wonderful work by Devonte Camel and the shot from Sudeh Makala Deflected it over the bar and then this effort from McLeary So the save being made there was an appeal for a penalty Calvin fell into the box. There's another magnificent save Denying Shanil Thomas, Chakwan Davis moving smartly and low down to his right to stop the shot again Devonte Camel was absolutely electrifying Twisting and turning and getting the ball inside headed behind and Cavalier knew that they missed a big one there Just debated it and then Camel with some brilliant work Sending that one inside the header down the shot through the legs Of being of our clan Guthrie getting his first goal and it's a moment. He'll remember for Mount Pleasant Was a delightful ball. Absolutely delicious from Campbell and then Guthrie Yep, got help from Merrick and opening his account this campaign He likes the moment for his new club this one slips through and Giovanni laying with a second yellow card here first one was probably a little bit harsh, but that was Certainly what was to have happened here and if this appointment all round laying new it was coming. He went off but then Cavalier Went into another gear again a stunning save by Chakwan Davis to his right and then the penalty James was slipping, but he took down Chani Thomas with him Thomas with the conversion from 12 yards getting his second goal of the season and That was the equalizer But they would press on look at that header the Antigone the youngster with the header He's been in fabulous form this season. Jalmara Calvin. That is third of the campaign and The number seven Wanted in the end coming from behind and Rudolph's feed Was ecstatic there They still had to weather a few storms the ball inside headed away Barclay was left clapping at that one still an opportunity, but they were backing numbers eventually and then the shot coming in from James fingertips saved Another Caribbean man almost making headlines here Nathaniel James from Trinidad Tobago and chenille Thomas could have finished this, you know had all the time in the world But again Davis with the same just magnificent They managed to hold on in the end Cavalier To one the final score They had eight shots six on target Mont Blasio with five shots for and target Mont Blasio with 13 fouls six more than Cavalier couple yellow cards a piece a Cavalier with a red card to Giovanni Ling of course in the end They had four corner kicks one more than Mount Pleasant who had the majority of the possession in the end at 59 percent Jalmara Monday night football under the lights here at Sabaina Park scoring the winner against the defending champions How big is that for you? I'm very proud playing with a man shot to come out with a victory I'm very very proud of my team after a very Disappointed final a team come out show the effort that we have we can fight still have the fighting us I'm very proud you've been in this Cavalier squad for a while You've been patient now into the starting line of three goals on the season How do you feel generally about your performance throughout the season and what are you looking forward to? Well, there's room for improvement a lot of room for improvement But I'm very proud with the progress that I've made so far also grateful for Mr. Speed for believing in me and putting me out there on the field I'm playing here in Jamaica as well Of course you represent Antigone Bob you that they're under 20 level. How big is that for you cross cultures as well? Well, it's not really much. I was actually buying Jamaica say it wasn't really a difficult transition to actually come back to Jamaica and play And how do you feel Cavalier team is coming on? We well, it's a slow progress, but we get in there we get in there every match Excellent stuff. Good performance day. Congrats on your goal and keep going from strength to strength. Thank you very much Jamar calvin there the player to what the player of the match for Cavalier scoring the winner in this two-one fixture and Theater top a bit more. Well top up your first taste of defeat. You must say a pretty entertaining match right throughout Well, yes, I'm definitely I'm unfortunately We came out on the wrong end, but I'm I think it was a well-deserved victory for the the Cavalier team. I thought after we went went up one in and the Cavalier get a center, but in complacency Creeping especially when I look on the the penalty And I go from the corner. I think it was complacency. So all and all I think Credit must be given to the Cavalier team today Yeah, and you run the changes as well. You tried different options You changed tactics somewhat a slightly tweak maybe information, but it still didn't work And when you look at the the balance of the game, it could have gone either way Yes, but as I said before unfortunately, we came out On the wrong and I but I'm as I said before credit must be given to the Cavalier team. We know the Cavalier team If you look on the issue of Cavalier, they know how to play with 10 man. They know how to 10 play with 10 man I think we we gave up too many Option for them in the last half. We no more players that will come back stronger in the weeks to come Yes, definitely see if travels top all the best. Yeah, man. Thank you theater top a bit more there Head coach technical director at Mount Pleasant and coming out on the losing end of the stick. Well Rudolf finally Cavalier getting it done against Mount Pleasant as you said this kind of match as I said to top us Well, could have gone either way very entertaining Both of you had your chances in the end you took the majority Yeah, it was a difficult match, but you know, we were like taint We're not really accustomed to be down there and we lost to a game in a row again We're not accustomed to losing to a game in a row. I had a good feeling this man about this game but I must say after going on to 10 you know the boy show character and I Know what they expect me to come and play the tree at the back this time We go for because if you notice they were trying to spread about to the flank But we were prepared for that and you made a change early as well since you mentioned that you start out with 352 but we saw early Gadiel Irvin sat in at the back for what was the reason for that? What was the thing that if you notice there They had two wingers and then they were the wing back were overlapping so we know that was there They were trying to pinpoint those races. So using a direct fullback and play arresting back for we use at the counter that time so And then in the first half we got some good looks didn't you know, the red card was set us back But we were determined Yeah, red card maybe a bit unfortunate. I thought the first yellow wasn't necessarily But when how many times have we said this about this Cavalier squad in terms of resilience fighting back character and so on What is it about this young team that makes them keep producing these kind of performances and getting the job done? I think we have a winning mentality if you notice young right back with I came out at 17 years of age I mean that is first game is playing in this pressure situation And I'm telling her he's probably my man of his second second after he played extremely well But cover the other winning mentality from training. That's all we operate against each other and they just never ever give up Well a big winning for here for you here tonight your third of the season congratulations and all the best. All right. Thank you So let's take a look at the results from match week nine to two between don't be hold it and tip of the gardens One one between what house and put me right it to one beer over humble line So to Montague Bay United over treasure Beach one one between honor gardens and Lyme Hall two two between Melange night and in half of you and Cavalier getting by Mount Pleasant in the end by the odd golden three So the gap is closing, but it's still some way to go Mount Pleasant on 19 points There are four ahead of on it gardens Tivity third on 14 put more four on 12 Warthouse also on 12 a point ahead of Cavalier who are now in the top six But guess what Cavalier? They have quite a few games in hand on Warthouse and a couple of games behind the the leaders of this pack Line hall Melange night it at the bottom of the standings half of you Of course just out of the relegation zone With a better goal difference Yeah, it's been wonderful Monday night footballer repeat of last season's final But this time the tables turned Cavalier with a 2-1 win over Mount Pleasant It's been a pleasure being here with you at Subway in a park Hope you enjoyed our coverage here on the home of champions on behalf of producer of Mornster director Michael Edwards Chris Taylor Jeanet Robinson the hard-working production team here at Sportsmax. It's goodbye from Subway in a park Let's look forward to on the home of champions on Sportsmax to tomorrow PSBI no one Go up against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League 1245 p.m. Jamaica time 145 with the Eastern Caribbean and then Union Berlin Meet to come with Royal Madrid 3 p.m. 4 p.m. ECT you can watch that on Sportsmax and of course inter Milan against the Real Sociedad Live Tuesday afternoon 3 o'clock for ECT on Sportsmax to Remember you can watch all these matches on the Sportsmax app as well on Wednesday RB Leipzig against young boys for 45 p.m. 145 ECT on Sportsmax to And 3 o'clock on Wednesday for ECT Royal Antwerp up against Barcelona And also on Wednesday Bolsa Dortmund against Paris Saint-Germain Three o'clock to make a time for in the Eastern Caribbean Back live here at Subway in a park Cavalier and Mount Pleasant locked at Nile all But it's been a really good game so far an interesting one between these two teams both teams creating chances just haven't been able to execute well in the final third But let's see what the second half has to offer Christina still with me inside the commentary box wasn't about first half we expect better Come the second half you think especially as far as converting the chances Yeah quite an entertaining first off it must be said I think both teams played really Reasonably well well drill teams both these and you can see why both of them got to the final last year as well Keepers on their a game And as they said not easy teams to break down Cavalier they have just conceded five goals So far this season Mount Pleasant to probably take a very Well-worked play to break down one of these or a beauty from a dead ball situation. Maybe Back on the way fall start second time of asking Yeah, we've said before it's a repeat of last year's final and We can see the the quality so far Wonderful representatives of the Rain Nevee Jamaica Premier League these two set piece now for Cavalier and tried to Go in there at the Near post delivery Cleary That's good one goal so far this season Thomas trying to shield it got a foot in there on the Mario Phillips He felt that one de Mario Phillips Not sure if it's a mouth guard some players do wear that a lot in basketball as well Certainly not go Phillips Philips really bother for Presenting in short order as soon as we recover in the coming to box and As soon as the Cavalier player is up Chris said it's not gum composition between of Peter Nicholson and Suley McCullough the ball delivering inside it's headed away by Lane Merrick Dwight Merrick Phillips back to Merrick Trying to move away from Alan Does well to recover and win it for Cavalier Link does well He's gonna be called back for the challenge on link The first one from Merrick couldn't do nothing really with what across a chunk Was trying to do in stopping him? Campbell's ball inside is a wonderful one And here's a chance of taking all that a brilliant finish from your guttree with this first of the season Inside the era converted it so well And again, it was Devonte Campbell winstigated with a wonderful ball inside And the setup to guttree Was well done and no mistake after that Great skill on the left-hand side yet again Devonte Campbell just can't manage his pace and trickery And he oh, yes lovely cushion head as well from the far post Was Merrick Merrick out there. Yeah, and the finish and Through the legs of you know, Barclay. He might be a bit disappointed with that But yeah, he was on sighted for some time and got three Kept his hand the ball right throughout the four-man at garden captain And that was a neat finish finally the deadlock is broken. How will Cal Belair respond? Cal Belair would want to get on with things now. Do you have to give credit to Devonte Campbell because he's just Had the key all evening instigating play after play Which has led to the goal by guttree It's been a struggle for all defenders to manage his peace Devonte Campbell really is electric and he's very quick with the ball as well It's only one player that I've seen able to manage his pace so far this season and it's Kenley Deacon from Waterhouse Right back and let me tell you his pace isn't normal either And he's been able to keep up with Devonte Campbell and did work so it was partly because of that way that much ended in a Steelmate as well nullified Campbell on the left-hand side. He'd Kenley Deacon but apart from him He's been two steps ahead of the rest and sometimes when we say that a winger is pacy Sometimes we kind of undersell it because it's more than just being fast, right? It's about using the feints well and and it's a bit of skill there as well to to get by your mark as well as space on the ball which Which can be such a difference maker when you're trying to unlock a defense It's not just about speed It's a change of pace as well, which is what Campbell does Campbell freezes a defender and then The change of pace is what gets them out a lot of times the flag going up Getting Cavalier out of trouble on that occasion quick acceleration from Cameron as he said he's a skillful player as well Can go left can go right In fact one of the surprises for me generally in the Premier League is that he hasn't scored more goals Devonte Campbell because he has a good strike on him as well Still a long way to go for for his career to be fear Devonte Campbell original product of the Mount Pleasant Academy the real realest of the products been there from the start as a footballer Now 20 years old the young man on the ball here Devonte Campbell and he was held hostage there by Watson It's surprising that there's no card there For that what lucky to get away with it was Watson collected well by Shaniel Thomas trying to win back the ball, but Ramon Howard showing some real strength there Jums are still going Cavalier they win it Calvin on it Trying to utilize his space to get by McCullough, but McCullough utilizing his experience there to get the better of the youngster Allen wins it back and again McCullough in the way There's a whistle on the play I don't think it was the final challenge coming from McCullough Because he got pure ball here, but anyway we continue Irving Irving's effort and well by Shaquon Davis the captain Means some attention stands here at Savannah Park pretty active The drum was still going players from the Academy here Mount Pleasant Academy that is Open to make the next step up In the not too distant future they're also monitoring them They are the Whitmore and Davion Ferguson Present in the future give it away by Reid Phillips does well. Oh, that's a lovely first touch Was leg late there Well Len is in trouble Second year look out to Giovanni Len in the first half for stiller you mentioned the fact With the first year look out being so soft you hope it wouldn't come down to a situation Where that Would have proven costly To now issue a second year look out to Len who has to leave the park exactly 20 minutes later It was on the 30th minute That it happened that yellow card ridiculous the yellow card and now it has cost Cavalier further And Ling was having a good game as well Really good game and you agree with this yellow card. This is a yellow card for sure But the first one was ridiculous. I mean you'd see From from a Giovanni perspective that knowing that you're in a yellow card You just can't win in that reckless manner Have to be a little bit more Tactical with your challenges, maybe a little bit more finesse if there's such a word in a challenge But that was reckless they will have to make some changes as well not necessarily to the personnel, but to the tactics Formation You know it is possible that either Reid or Irving could be a part of that backline Well, this is in a dangerous spot Phillips behind it totally behind it the wall already constructed by Cavalier Here's a drive that's wide of the mark Cummings there with the effort Yeah, they wanted to evade the situation of going over the wall and under the bar setting up Cummings But he dragged that one wide Initially thought there was a touch as well. I think that's what the one place is pleasant players thought that he was a corner Captain play how well Was trying to find Guthrie who was in no position to get that one and he needs to be replaced his will ready signal Signal the substitution to be made Minor to download the sports max app today from the Google player of the app store Think that was time maybe up, you know Yeah, I think that was the initial injury may have Well, that's sure exactly what's happening. It's not sure if it's the Cox's bone or the hip clear discomfort, obviously can't move freely Unfortunately for Guthrie, obviously it was from the challenge as well She was a strong one from Lane Reid All in the cross to Watson Shander James comes on from unpleasant replacing Romeo Guthrie the gold scorer and Robinson Ronaldo Robinson coming off being replaced by Alex Xavier Gooden Talk about making his transition to the big time the Sennacher Technical High School youngster You had a card being shown to Phillips Here's an opportunity to shot. That's wide of the block From Dwayne Allen Flag is up for offside against us across a chunk who has been trying hard, but has been out of the game here today lovely from Calvin But apparently he got that legally the referee side Couldn't committing the foul there really close on Campbell Lofted ball inside at the back post handled by Buck let well When behind in Merrick, but our pleasant players still trying to press Quite a few players warming up as well ranking In the mix Melvin Doxley as well Daniel green. Yeah going through the paces Wonder if we'll see him at some point There have been several high caliber meetings on the sidelines Marlon had and also warming up. I wouldn't be surprised if Chong was taken off At the back post ball delivered inside looking for Chanel Thomas the flag at stayed down again the ball lofted inside and Chacon Davis coming out on top Hurls it out looking for Devonte Campbell to Phillips Phillips is trying to return the favor or love the touch inside to Thomas Thomas goes outside and The quick ball back inside Didn't quite work out for Cavalier on that occasion We definitely see what they are trying. It just wasn't good enough Pass it was on though It was actually Watson who tried to execute it Because Calvin who was most central on that occasion to read has it how they're trying to play out of The back Thomas does well Trying to beat Topi Chance for Allen Allen Familiar save by Chacon Davis He was aiming for the top corner here, but Chacon Davis was equal to the task And bouncing after as if he was waiting for another opportunity to let fly a dive Two big sales for Chacon Davis look at him get up there and then just bounce after Good spring from Davis that was heading into the top corner from Allen and here's an opportunity and Davis goes down to collect He's had a good game enjoys his work Davis. So premium fits as well Takes his training very seriously Chacon Davis There's an opportunity Calvin surrounded by two Gets across inside it's a new Thomas. Oh, he goes down inside the box of penalty awarded to Cavalier Shandy James trying to plead his case. I saw some slipping inside the box Let's see what happened here, Chris Taylor Ball inside the area Thomas looks to pull away his foot didn't he shandy James or at least he tried to He was sleeping He was sleeping But he became an obstacle still Thomas felt it went down. I Mean that's uncle doesn't tell the whole story, but what I can see is Okita Nicholson was in a good position He was right there Smart move by Shaniel Thomas just to stop Try and cut in force the Play Shaniel Thomas looking for a second goal this season Thomas will find the corner wonderfully taken By Shaniel Thomas. He gets the right way to Davis But that was too well placed in the end at Cavalier We're down to ten men. They have equalized here to buy the pockets one-one And now the changes will come he would be disappointed Davis You could see the reaction that ball actually went under his left hand in the end But the pace of it the pace of it from Thomas Well, the placement was exact and the pace a bit too much Well earned it well taken and now the substitutions come there is Daniel Green Fresh from his exploiting Vietnam and Marlon Allen Back in his hometown parish of St. Anne Back from a couple really good seasons with Arnett Gardens. There's Daniel Green He was a league's joint leading goal scorer in 2021 With a tough or a by-grave 13 goals they scored that season Both went to the same team in Vietnam both are back in Jamaica Maketson can it by the way has come on for Cavalier as well is replaced Shamar Watson Well, we have about 15 minutes to go we have a game on our hands This game going the course of what took place in the final so far where Cavalier had to get an equalizer in that one Are they doomed they wouldn't have minded having Colin Anderson Back here Cavalier He was the one who got the equalizer in the final Mark let holds on I had it read Irving looking for options Chanel Thomas Calvin hesitated with the path then Puts it in a place of trouble For his team Mount Pleasant looking to transition Taking their time with the man advantage The captain McCullough asks for it Sends it to Daniel Green Green making the run Will get there Phillips now green gets it back Switching the play ball inside is not a bad one It's headed away by Ming caught Eventually by Barclay's a click requires some attention It's not time for the sports max at moment of the game And it's a wonderful goal developed Well by Campbell Merck with a knockdown but with the finish but we're getting his first go to the campaign and Doing it for Mount Pleasant these days. They have many dance routines probably thinking that it's just a matter of time as they patiently build up McCullough Jamoy Topi now is trying to find Daniel Green nicely done by Allen could fit Troy Cummings with the coverage Good with a long throw there Cummings had to just head that behind for a corner kick to Cavalier Critical moments in the game now just 10 minutes left. It's been a high intensity game And even though it's pretty cool Those legs will be feeling it Concentration a must now Indeed it is a must There's the liver inside and the head on target goal Well just like that from behind put delivery from Gadiel Irving and Shaquan Davis could do nothing about that That is a brilliant finish from Calvin Steering it into the far corner. He would be more disappointed with his defenders with Shaquan Davis Because there's nothing he could do to get there Wow what a turnaround And Mount Pleasant now steering down the barrel of their first defeat of the season Cavalier couldn't get past them all of last season now What a finish to this game McCullough on it Phillips track sweep dot wide Picked up by Howell Daniel Green Topi pass was predictable Phillips needed better there and Cavalier. They are perfect at Managing the time who would have thought that Cavalier would have been able to turn this around Especially after going down to ten men, but Mount Pleasant, they aren't done lovely from Mori and the referee Allowing that one to continue That's got to be a foal there got to be a foal Mount Pleasant still with it though McCullough Cutting inside thinking of a shot and that's a good block from Calvin And Thomas realizing that he doesn't have the support will have to turn back, but he's lost it The cavalry was late in support of Shanil Thomas there Allen Oh lovely from Adrian Reed I must have done that occasion by Shandy James Lovely one two between Howell and Green As Peter googled the owner of Mount Pleasant Look it on He seemed trying to get the equalizer now time for the Trinidadian the young Trinita make his mark And a lot expected from the youngster Nathaniel James Is getting ready to well he's actually on the park Mount Pleasant looking for that equalizer Two Cavalier players attacking it and applying the pressure not allowing Mount Pleasant to settle at all Davis evades the challenge Still pressing high Devonte Campbell back on the left trying to thread that one through James lovely ball green and Trying to hit it first time in fact did hit it first time on the volley but Couldn't find the target And jane is pitch side Yes, Donald.

So Donald and Chris. Thank you, Kamoi Well, Donald and Chris back to you. Let's watch the game Thanks, Janay. Mount Pleasant still Going forward looking for the equalizer. We're hearing that seven minutes of stoppages will be played There's an opportunity for green and uh There's a throwing awarded to Mount Pleasant Cavalier was hoping that it would go the other way Green with the dink again looking for Devonte Campbell That's a clearance from Gooden and Chaniel Thomas Come the way with it robbing Cummings And the lob And then try to put his body on the line there to stop that Here is James. Was there a notch behind? Yep Adrian Reed Maybe it was Irving No, it was Reed with a nudge Phillips is behind this one. He needs a good delivery here Mount Pleasant looking for the equalizer There's the ball inside the area headed away by Reed It's come to Sandy James. Sandy James's ball inside the area headed away once more James now out wide to Devonte Campbell Campbell's ball inside floated inside headed away And Barclay spills it and he has a chance for Mount Pleasant Now they managed to clear but not too far out Howell sends it out wide And here's the Trinidadian with the shot that's wide of the mark It was so close For Nathaniel James Did Barclay get the touch on it? Apparently he did should have done better with the first attempt at claiming it though But James effort just wide of the mark and yeah, he got fingertips apparently Still couldn't spot it from that replay Campbell's ball inside Need to be a good one from the Mount Pleasant perspective here They are applying the pressure There's the ball inside headed away not too far away Still kept alive Topey trying to win it he goes down And with the blows it goes The free kick in favor Of Cavalier He doesn't know what it's like to lose this season Piedot Whitmore Mount Pleasant will try again We've seen a really good game here Nathaniel James trying to Thread that out wide Run into traffic Did he time that run to perfection? He did Shanil Thomas he can finish And a brilliant save once again by Chaconne Davis Wow would have ended it as a contest Thomas was looking for a second on the night Lovely pass with the outside of the boot Thomas picking it up. He was being closed down Aim for the far corner, which was the right idea. Good save Davis. Good football all round Trying to hold up the play Well, he has kept that one in play and it's turned behind for a corner kick They have some more defending to do Cavalier James To send this one in At the near post flicked on and deflected and goes behind once again another corner Back-to-back corner kicks here for Mount Pleasant This game has seen a lot of twists and turns Here is James' ball inside Barclay got a hand on it Campbell does well to win it Sends it back out wide James does well James well Wasn't on the same wavelength there We have a brief discussion in terms of man the match, but It's been such a good all-round performance, but I like the effort of Calvin what he has offered offensively and defensively And That's the end of the game The defending champions have lost for the first time this season And they have been brought down closer to earth by the team Who were beaten in the final last season Cavalier? It's a good win It really is a very good win They had to come from behind they had to do it with 10 Saneel Thomas on target and so to Jelmara Calvin The young man from Antigua and Barbuda Devonte Campbell played out of his skin in this game But at the end of the day All three points going to Cavalier As they got the better of Mount Pleasant by the odd goal in three as we take a look at the full-time highlights here Mount Pleasant dictated Terms in the early stages. That was some wonderful work by Devonte Campbell in the shot from Sudeh Makala Deflected and over the bar and then this effort from McLeary So the save being made there was an appeal For penalty as Calvin fell into the box. There's another magnificent save Denying Saneel Thomas Chakwan Davis moving smartly and low down to his right To stop the shot again Devonte Campbell was absolutely electrifying twisting and turning And getting the ball inside headed behind and Cavalier knew that they missed a a big one there Just debated it and then Campbell with some brilliant work Sending that one inside the header down the shot through the legs A bit of our claim Guthrie getting his first goal and it's a moment he'll remember for Mount Pleasant It was a delightful ball absolutely delicious from Campbell and then Guthrie Yep, got help from Merrick and opening his account this campaign He likes the moment for his new club This one slips through and Giovanni laying with a second yellow card here First one was probably a little bit harsh, but that was certainly what was to have happened here and It's disappointment all around laying new it was coming. He went off but then Cavalier Went into another gear again as turning saved by Chakwan Davis to his right And then the penalty James was slipping but he took down Chaneel Thomas with him Thomas with the conversion from 12 yards getting his second goal of the season and That was the equalizer But they would press on look at that header the Antigone The youngster with the header He's been in fabulous form this season Jalmara Calvin. That is third of the campaign And there number seven Wanted in the end coming from behind and Rudolf speed Was ecstatic there They still had to weather a few storms the ball inside headed away Barclay was left flapping at that one Still an opportunity, but they were backing numbers eventually and then the shot coming in from James fingertips saved Another Caribbean man almost making headlines here Nathaniel James from Trinidad Tobago and chanel Thomas could have finished this, you know Had all the time in the world, but again Davis with the save Just magnificent They managed to hold on in the end Cavalier To one the final score They had eight shots six on target Mount Pleasant with five shots four on target Mount Pleasant with 13,000 six more than Cavalier couple yellow cards a piece A Cavalier with a red card to Giovanni Lang of course in the end They had four corner kicks one more than Mount Pleasant Who at the majority of the possession in the end at 59 percent Cialmarro Monday night football under the lights here at Sabaina Park scoring the winner against the defending champions How big is that for you? I'm very proud playing with a man shot. We come out with a victory. I'm very very proud of my team After a very disappointed final a team come out Show the effort that we have we can fight still have the fighting us. I'm very proud You've been in this Cavalier squad for a while. You've been patient now into the starting line of three goals on the season How do you feel generally about your performance throughout the season and what are you looking forward to? Well, there's room for improvement a lot of room for improvement But I'm very proud of the progress that I've made so far I was grateful for mr. Speed for believing in me and putting me out there on the field I'm playing here in Jamaica as well. Of course you represent Antigone. Bob you're at the under 20 level How big is that for you cross cultures as well? Well, it's not really much. I was actually buying Jamaica say it wasn't really a difficult transition to actually come back to Jamaica and play And how do you feel Cavalier team is coming on now? Well, it's a slow progress, but we get in there. We get in there every match Excellent stuff. Good performance there. Congrats on your goal and keep going from strength to strength. Thank you very much Jamar calvin there the player to what the player of the match for cavalier scoring the winner in this 2-1 fixture And theater top a bit more. Well top up your first taste of defeat. You must say a pretty entertaining match right throughout Well, yes, I'm definitely I'm unfortunately We came out On the wrong end, but I think it was a Well-deserved victory for the the the Cavalier team. I thought after we went went up one in and the Cavalier get a center of a team complacency Creeping especially when you look on the the penalty And I go from the corner. I think it was complacency. So all and all I think Credit must be given to the Cavalier team tonight Yeah, and you run the changes as well. You tried different options. You changed tactics somewhat a slightly tweak maybe information But it still didn't work and when you look at the the balance of the game, it could have gone either way Well, yes, um, but as I said before unfortunately, we came out Um on the wrong and I but um as I said before credit must be given to the the Cavalier team. We know the Cavalier team If you look on the issue of Cavalier They know how to play with 10 man. They know how to 10 play with 10 man I think we we gave up too many Option for them in in the last half We know Mount Pleasant will come back stronger in the weeks to come. Yes, definitely See if travels tap all the best. Yeah, man. Thank them theater top a bit more there Head coach technical director at Mount Pleasant and coming out on the losing end of the stick. Well Rudolf finally Cavalier getting it done against Mount Pleasant as you said This kind of much as I said to tap us well could have gone either way very entertaining Both of you had your chances in the end. You took the majority Yeah, it was a difficult match But you know, we were like 10th. We're not really accustomed to be down there And um, we lost two game in a row again. We're not accustomed to losing two game in a row I had a good feeling this man about this game um, but I must say after going on to 10 you know the boy show character and um I know what they expect me to come and play the tree at the back this time We go four because if you notice they were trying to spread about to the flank But we were prepared for that and um, you made that change early as well Since you mentioned that you start out with a three five two But we saw early Gadiel Irvin sat in at the back four. What was the reason for that? What was the thing? Well, they if you notice there They had two wingers and then they they were the wing back were overlapping So we know that was there they were trying to pinpoint those places So using a direct full back and play arresting back four we use at the counter that um, so And then in the first half we got some good looks didn't you know the red card was set us back, but We were determined Yeah, red card maybe a bit unfortunate. I thought the first yellow wasn't necessarily yellow But when how many times have we said this about this cavalier squad in terms of resilience fighting back character and so on What is it about this young team that makes them keep producing these kind of performances and getting the job done? I think we're about winning mental time If you notice um, young right back we guy came out at 17 years after edge I mean that is first game is playing in this pressure situation And i'm telling you he's probably my man of his second second half. He played extremely well But coverly of a winning mentality from training. That's all we we operate against each other and um, they just never ever give up Well a big winning for here for for you here tonight your third of the season. Congratulations and all the best.
