Henry double lifts STATHS past Mona, KC hold JC in Group B
KINGSTON, Jamaica — Two goals by Marvin Henry propelled St Andrew Technical High School (STATHS) to a 2-1 win over Mona High in Group B action at the Waterhouse Stadium.
Henry netted in the 16th and 60th minutes while Franklyn Mitchell responded for Mona High in the 21st minute.
It was a crucial win for STATHS having thrown away a two-goal advantage in drawing 3-3 with Jamaica College (JC) on Tuesday. They now moved to four points and effectively eliminated Mona High who are pointless after two games.
In the second Group B encounter, Walker Cup champions Kingston College (KC) had to come from behind to earn a 1-1 draw with Jamaica College.
Delajahe McCormack gave JC an 11th-minute lead but Shareef Ricketts pulled KC level in the 40th minute following a moment of hesitation from National Under-20 defender Jaquan Brown, who allowed Ricketts to toe-poke home from a corner kick.
It was a crucial point for KC as they moved onto four points. The same as STATHS but are second on goal difference.
JC are in third spot on two points and will have to beat the pointless Mona in their next match as KC and STATHS clash in a top-of-the-table match. Only two teams will advance to the semi-finals.
On Saturday, there will be two games in Group A with Excelsior on one point facing leaders Eltham High on three points at 4:30 at the Waterhouse Stadium.
In the curtain raiser, Wolmer’s Boys on one point tackle the pointless Calabar High at 2:30 pm.
