 Now Issa, a schoolboy footballer in Ceasar, people are ready, you know. All right then, Pico, Manningo, Oliver Yashil, Yomek Wilingo, Tewa, the champion. Yeah, big Tewan. Now, with the schoolboy football season done and dusted and all champions crowned, Issa have delivered their squads for the older Costa and all Manningo teams. And as you know, we always have the exclusive scoop here on the Sports Mag Zone. Let's start with the older Costa lineup for the first time. You're going to see it. Let's go. Go Keepers, Rashid Burrell, Clarendon College and Antoine Gooden of Glenmure. The defenders, Alanda Lee Blake of Garver-Maceo National Bolt of Clarendon College. Campbell of Saint-Tedismeth Technical Latiba Green of Clarendon College. Hedley of Glenmure. Devonte Hodges, Clarendon College. Tyree McKinley of Garver-Maceo. And then the midfielders, Theon Cupid, Clarendon College. Davis of McGraw High, Malachi Douglas, no surprise, Clarendon College. Kyle Gordon, no surprise, Glenmure. Shamir Hutchinson of Dintil gets in. And Jason White of Glenmure in there as well. And the forwards, Clarekart, Garver-Maceo. No surprise. Dejean Cummings of Glenmure. Kahim Dixon, Clarendon College. Tyrese Gaw of Dintil Technical gets in in the forward line. He could have gotten in at midfield as well. And the Stevon Spence of Fum Technical is also in that setup. Yeah. Let's have a look at the old Manning Squad now. Shall we? Go Keepers. Shakuradir of Tivoli Gardens. Dejean Davis of St. George's College. Defenders Michael Forbes-Heidell. Alex Xavier Gooden, St. Andrew Technical. Robino Gordon of Mona. Stevon Johnson of Mona. Robert Siao, Kingston College. Malachi Sterling, Jamaica College. Kemar Thompson, St. Andrew Technical in midfield. Ronaldo Barrett. No surprise there. Adrian Reed-June of St. George's College. Denza Mackenzie, Mona. Dylan John JC. Nikoi Gale of St. Andrew Technical gets in in midfield. Dejean Green of Kingston College. Also there. Brian Burkett of St. George's College. Jomaria Henry. Heidell. Leon Brown of Stats. Demaria Daley of Kingston College. And Romaria and Thomas of Mona. The forwards for the old Manning Squad. Chris Taylor is still with us. Chris, let's get right to it. And start with the old Acosta team. From your standpoint, any surprises in that squad? No real surprises. Dominated, I would think, by the semifinalists in the Acosta Cup especially. Glenmure Clarendon. Dintil. And of course, yeah. So, no surprise there. I think generally the names that you would have expected to see. Probably Asha Hutchinson, the goalkeeper from Dintil. Primarily keeper as well. Maybe a bit of a surprise that he couldn't make the top three. Of course, Garvin Masih of the other semifinalists. Yeah. But I'm a bit surprised that he couldn't make the top three as a goalkeeper based on his experience and how long he's been around. He bit Giovanni Affleck from Dintil as well. Might have felt that he just missed out. Didn't have as good a season as he did last year. Yeah. I was about to make the point that I saw Affleck a couple of times this campaign as well. And I wasn't overly impressed. I felt that he was going to make the top three the best. I felt that for a forward of his quality and given how well he did last season that he missed too many relatively easy opportunities. Still manage 14 goals. And then you look at who they have there as you call a couple names and kind of surprising. So I'm just saying, I don't think it's a big deal that he's left out. Had he been in, I don't think it would have been a big deal or something. He might be a little bit disappointed. Having made that cut last year. And Tyrese Gore obviously his strike partner gets in ahead of him. But I think generally the selection is good. I think the selection is right for the most part. Another thing I wanted to look at, if you counted the names there, I thought generally when you do an all the cost and all manning team, I expect to see a first 11, second 11. So you would have a 22 man squad which gives all positions equity. I don't think they did that on this occasion. I also like when a formation is produced early because obviously if you're playing with four at the back, then your compliment of players might be slightly different in terms of how many defenders midfielder versus you playing 3-5-2. I think right now in modern football, 4-3-3 is probably the most used formation, especially at the schoolboy level. So I would have understood going with that. And in that case you are looking for eight defenders, six midfielders and six forwards. And obviously it then gives equity as you said you would have four wingbacks and so on. I don't think they went about it in that way. And so maybe some positions feeling it a little bit more than others. Yeah, I want to bring up to Jean Cummings from Glenmure who really excited fans. When you see him, he has a lot of skill. He gets by a lot of players, he dazzles. But I had an issue with his end product for a lot of the times I saw him. And from my standpoint, even though he is such an exciting player and I personally think he has so much potential, I'm not sure if he makes it for me just because of the end product. I don't think it's consistent enough. Well, yeah, and I saw when you kind of went over his name. I think maybe Cummings also picked on potential and what they know he can produce. But I agree, Breaks down teams very well in a strong Glenmure team wants to sharpen up again with the finishing. But we have said that about quite a few other fours. We spoke about Africa as well. Obviously, Cahim Dixon this season are caught above the rest in terms of... But it's not just the finishing. It's the deliveries as well. Because it's part of his game. He plays out wide. You're looking for quality consistent passes. And I just feel that he does a lot with the ball, but the final deliveries are not as consistent as you would want them to be, especially for a player that has shown the level of skill that he has shown. And that's the point. I think when maybe you look at the level of skill that he has and what he can produce, especially from wide areas, his movement, which is more advanced, I would say, than three-quarter of the DeCosta Cup. Yes. When you look at his competition in terms of the places, who are the other players who will be competing with him? I still think he might be a cut above the rest in terms of where he's at now. And then you look at him and you say, well, you can see where he should go. Yeah. So I think... Fair point. I think with a little bit more fine-tuning, he could be one to deal with. Yeah. Well, he definitely does excite the fans. To the old manning setup, shall we go, Chris? How about this one? Pretty much what you expected? Pretty much what you expected. I'm a bit surprised that they have put Ramarian Thomas in the forward bracket. I actually think he's more of a midfielder, more of a number eight. Ramarian Thomas, he's one of the players of the season for me, from Mona, their number eight. Again, you look at this team, and I certainly agree, Adir, the best goalkeeper I've seen from Tiva Legans. I'm so glad that he was rewarded with that spot. I think the second place goalkeeper could have been many. There was also Tajari Lee from Haidel, who I thought was pretty good in Haidel. I was about to say Kingston College. Well, and then Haidel, but produces so many good goalkeepers. If you look at their history, Nicholas Clark, Shakwa and Davis, and Liz goes on. So I look at this and I think, yes, definitely look at these players here. Good seasons generally all over. Good quality all around. So, yeah. Yeah, interesting. I think Taylor, sorry. Taylor from St. George's, I think he could have gotten in. I thought Taylor is a defensive midfielder. You look here, you see Nikoi Gale is in the mix. And I think to myself, that Taylor based on the season he has had and where St. George's went, I thought he was really exceptional in a lot of the season. Went unnoticed a lot, because it wasn't obviously a pretty role in terms of goalscoring and so on, but how he broke a player, how he read the game, Taylor. That was a player with the locks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I think that he... Zabari, yeah. Was terrific every time I saw him, that's for sure. I thought that he deserved a place in that team and to think that he didn't even make the reserve list. I'm not sure if we could have another look at the reserve list, but I think he certainly should have gotten in there. I was surprised that Peralta made it, for example. Yeah, his understanding of the game, for example, just talking about Taylor and he seems to know what he wants to do with the football before it gets to him. And so he always seems ahead of the game. And when you look at St. George's at the back end of the season, every game you saw him, he was one of the standard players against the best competition in all of schoolboy football. So I think you are right. He could have and probably should have gotten a look into that squad. Interesting. You spoke about Tajari Lee because or almost prediction guru, Lijay Williams had Tajari in his all schoolboy football center. He's a good goalkeeper. He's a good goalkeeper. I remember when he was just starting out at Kingston College, he had these kind of shaky performances but certainly got it together. And then he's moved to Heidel. To me as Blossom, Heidel, as he said, went all the way to the final. And as I said, I definitely think Adir was a cut above the rest from Tifale. And we probably needed more support in his defense line. He was exposed a lot. So maybe he was asked to make a lot of brilliance. But Lee for me, for sure, and Taylor I think was an interesting omission. In a season that we actually saw, I thought, good defensive midfielder. If you think about if Alex was or from Mona, good in that role as well as a number six. So good to see that role, you know, being dominated somewhat in schoolboy football. Yeah, definitely. I agree with you on the Zabir Taylor issue. Akim Radar and Mona's goalkeeper. I don't have a problem with him being listed as a reserve maybe. I thought that Bernard, I thought physically he looked better than he did last season. I thought more in shape. He had obviously trained a lot harder. I thought his agility was a little bit better, but still making a little too many mistakes for me. Yeah, did the Olivier Shield performance, you think take away significantly from him being able to make this squad? I think the fact that Mona won the title probably put him in the squad. I think, I'm not totally sold on Bernard. I think generally communicates well. I give him credit for physically how he has improved himself. But I think sometimes some save that is expected to make. He's not really executing that way and still work to do. As I said, I'm disappointed that Lee didn't make the top three. Yeah, all right. Thanks very much, Chris Taylor. That's it. As we just had a look at the old manning and all the Costa teams named recently. And you heard it here first on the sports mic. So let's go to a break. Thanks to Chris for today. Yeah, he pretty much stayed the entire show. He's like that, you know, let's take a break all the back with more.
