Hyde hails Clarendon College second-half semi-final performance

Clarendon College (CC) will play in the final of the ISSA/Wata daCosta Cup for the second year in a row after they destroyed Dinthill Technical 4-0 in the semi-final at the Montego Bay Sports Complex last Wednesday.

Both teams met at this stage of the competition last year, when CC came away 5-2 winners, and after a testing first half it was an easy second-half stroll for the Lenworth Hyde-coached team. They will face 2016 champions Cornwall College in the final, this after the Montego Bay-based team defeated Frome Technical 4-2 on penalties in the feature game at the same venue.

Clarendon College welcomed back the duo of Nicque Daley and Ricardo McIntosh from international duty and it was the goal-scoring abilities of those two that broke the back of the Dinthill challenge in the second half. A brace from Daley, whose goals came either side of a strike from McIntosh, put the finalists 3-0 up by the 78th minute before Javell Ellis put the icing on the cake five minutes from time.

Hyde acknowledged that Dinthill had troubled his team in the first half but he was happy with the response to the half-time team talk.

“It was a good second half. The Dinthill team high-pressed us in the first half. They were sprinting a lot and had high intensity in the first half. I don’t think we handled it well; we should have kept our composure but we were kicking away the ball and not playing out from the back as how we should.

“I spoke to them at half time, told them to relax and enjoy the moment, and I think they did that.”

Daley, who had an excellent tournament in the recent Concacaf World Cup qualifiers, showed that he is in peak form with his bustling performance that bore fruit early in the second half

“Nicque Daley set the tone with an early goal in the second half and they were more relaxed and the confidence built, and when we are confident like that we play good football.”

Hyde believes that the young and powerful national striker is set for great things.

“That is how he plays; he doesn’t know any other way to play; he is just a forceful player and with the midfielder behind him, I think the sky is the limit for Nicque Daley.”

He also admitted that his two strikers were missed during their Champions Cup campaign.

“We missed them (Daley and McIntosh) against Charlie Smith and it’s good to have them back because you see what they do when they are in the team. They like playing with this midfield; they enjoy the moments. It was an enjoyable moment for the team in the second half.”

With more than a week to prepare for the final, the former daCosta Cup winner is hoping to add a coach’s medal to his trophy cabinet this time around.

“We looking for a good game in the final; we just have to go and prepare and we have to work hard mentally. It’s a mental game now. We have done the work already so we just have to come mentally tough for the final.”

The final will be played at Montego Bay Sports Complex on Saturday.
