    Western Bureau:
    Jamaica inched closer to securing a place in the semi-finals of the 2008 Digicel Caribbean Championships last night,when they trounced Grenada 4-0 in the top-of-the-table clash and feature game of a Group A double-[COLOR=orange! important][COLOR=orange! important]header[/COLOR][/COLOR] at Jarrett Park in [COLOR=orange! important][COLOR=orange! important]Montego [COLOR=orange! important]Bay[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR].
    Eric Vernan, Luton Shelton, Andy Williams and Demar Phillips were on target for the Jamaica team, which are now sole leaders of the group with maximum six points from their two games.
    In the first game of the afternoon's double-header, Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) put their semi-final aspirations back on track with a come-from-behind 2-1 win against Barbados.
    The Barbadians took a 12th-minute lead through Gregory Goodridge, but the Trinidadians stormed back to snatch victory through a double strike by Errol McFarlane, who converted twice from the penalty spot.
    With just one round of games to decide the two semi-finalists from Group 'A', the standings read as follows: Jamaica six points, T&T three, Grenada three and Barbados now out of contention without a point.
    Dominant throughout
    "This is the kind of result we came here hoping for this afternoon, so we are naturally pleased with this result," said assistant coach of the Jamaican team, Theodore 'Tappa' Whitmore. "It is always nice to please the fans with a good performance."
    The Jamaicans, who were quite dominant throughout the game, started their impressive march to victory in the eighth minute when Vernan pounced on a rebound before the woodwork and fired in his first goal for the senior Reggae Boyz.
    Eight minutes after Vernan's strike, Shelton made it 2-0 when he latched on to a corner from Phillips and nodded powerfully into the goal, making the [COLOR=orange! important][COLOR=orange! important]half-time[/COLOR][/COLOR] score 2-0.
    Seven minutes into the second half, Jamaica struck again. Williams won possession inside the penalty area and his cracking shot flew between the legs of goalkeeper James Raeburn, making the score 3-0.
    With time running out in the game, Jamaica completed their impressive showing when substitute Roland Dean dribbled through the heart of the Grenada defence and dropped a pass at the feet of Phillips, who easily slotted home, making the final score 4-0.
    Looking ominous
    In the first game, Barbados started off looking ominous and took the lead in the 12th minute when Goodridge took a neat pass from Riviere Williams and slotted into the goal, making the score 1-0.
    Trinidad finally came good in the 41st minute when referee Javier Jauregui ruled penalty after a rash tackle on McFarlane. McFarlane made no mistake from the spot, making the half-time score 1-1. The Trinidadians were to benefit from another penalty call by the referee in the 70th minute, after goalkeeper Alvin Rouse was penalised for a challenge on Anthony Wolfe. The goalkeeper complained and was subsequently red-carded. McFarlane converted from the spot, making the final score 2-1.

    "It therefore is useless and pointless, unless it is for share malice and victimisation to arrest and charge a 92-year-old man for such a simple offence. There is nothing morally wrong with this man smoking a spliff; the only thing wrong is that it is still on the law books," said Chevannes.

    Impressive???

    Yep, when it comes to "minnows" like Grenada, our men (like our women soccer team) sure has strength.

    Pardon me for not being in even the slightest way impressed (and yea, yea, yea, Grenada beat the mighty Trinidad 2-1).

      Boyz whip Grenada 4-0 in DigiCup headlinerBY PAUL A REID Observer Writer reidp@jamaicaobserver.com

      MONTEGO BAY, St James - Host Jamaica are a point away from securing a place in the semi-finals of the Digicel Caribbean Cup (DCC) after beating Grenada 4-0 in their Group A game at Jarrett Park last night.
      The win, Jamaica's second, took them to six points and top of the Group ahead of Trinidad and Tobago and Grenada who are on three points each.

      Eric Vernan scored his first senior-team goal, while Luton Shelton, Andrew Williams and Demar Phillips were also on the score sheet for the Jamaicans who will play Trinidad and Tobago at the Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium tomorrow.
      The Jamaican coaching staff made four changes from the team that beat Barbados in the opening game on Wednesday, bringing in central defender Shavar Thomas, veteran midfielder Williams and strikers Dane Richards and Phillips.
      Backed by a good turn out of about 5,000 cheering spectators, the Jamaican team dominated from the start and took the game to the Anthony Modeste led Grenada, avenging a 1-2 loss in a friendly under previous coach Rene Simoes.
      Vernan got the scoring started in the 6th minute when he finished off a good move from Richards. The New York Red Bulls striker fought his way through a crowd of defenders and crossed the ball to the unmarked Vernan who curled his left-footer around the diving Desmond Noel in the Grenada goal.
      Shelton made it 2-0 12 minutes later when he headed home a corner moments after another corner was dug out by Noel.
      Richards should have made it 3-0 in the 25th minute when he picked up a pass from just inside the Grenada half and raced away to the goal, but was caught just inside the area by the fast- recovering Modeste.
      A powerhouse from just outside the area by Williams was blocked by Noel in the 33rd minute and the goalkeeper produced a brilliant save in the 40th to deny Shelton.
      Williams got on the scoresheet eight minutes into the second half when a tame shot slipped through Noel's legs and across the line, while Phillips got the fourth in the 77th minute.

        Grenada has not been a bad team recently. Check their games against other teams and you will see. They also have good players like Jason Roberts(EPL) who did not play last night, and the youth who captain Portmore United.

        Seems like a good display as Ja was in command for most of the game if not all.

        I am looking for Grenada to to beat the Bajans.

          Two newspaper reports with slightly different views.

          I guess "cracking" means "tame".

                Well we know a "wild" shot certainly wouldn't have scored...

                    I have not seen the goals, but if I had to guess, I think it would be a creeper, not a cracker.
