THE Peter Moses-coached Real Mona Masters won the first renewal of the Orville Edwards Memorial football festival on Easter Monday by defeating Santos Masters 3-1 at the Bell/Chung Oval.

In the curtain-raiser, Santos Super League Team and Central Kingston played to 0-0 draw.

In the feature match, former Tivoli and Arnett Garden Premier League player Andrew Chisholm gave Real Mona the lead in the 10th minute when he volleyed a cross into the roof of the net past a hapless Nyron Prawl in goal.

They doubled the lead in the 20th after Mark Scottland benefited from a cross which goalkeeper Nyrol Prawl should have held, but the ball fell out of his hands for Scottland to oblige.

Santos Masters pulled a goal back in the 35th when Dennis Ellis scored. Real Mona Masters wrapped up the match after Michael Murray scored in the 51th minute.

Orville Edwards was Jamaica’s and one of the Caribbean’s top keepers during the 1970s and 1980s. He was a member of the victorious Vere Technical High School team which won the daCosta Cup and Olivier Shield titles in 1968, 1969 and 1970, and also a member of Santos FC in the National League, KSAFA Major League and Master’s League. Santos dominated local football from 1973 to 1980.
