Clarendon College walk away with all-island supremacy as Olivier Shield winners
Clarendon College won the Olivier Shield on
Saturday at the National Stadium, after they defeated Jamaica College (JC) 4-1
on penalties.
The match ended 1-1 with Oquassa Chong
scoring minutes before the final whistle as JC took the lead, with Clarendon’s
goalkeeper Prince-Daniel Smith equalising in second-half added time.
The contest was stopped for approximately
45 minutes after 26 minutes had already been completed. It was caused by a
power outage in the area and the lights in the stadium did not turn out.
Both teams got and spurned chances
throughout the encounter, but it was Chong who found the back of the net when
he fired home from close range for a JC lead.
Goalkeeper Smith advanced into the JC area
for Clarendon’s last corner and bundled home an opportunity after an error from
JC’s goalkeeper, Daniel Russell.
Clarendon converted all their penalties
with JC missing two times, which handed Clarendon their fifth hold on the
trophy.
