    GARVEY UPSET GLENMUIR


    BY PAUL A REID Observer writer


    MAY PEN, Clarendon — Garvey Maceo scored the first major upset of the ISSA/Pepsi/Digicel daCosta Cup schoolboy football competition after beating defending champions and favourites Glenmuir 1-0 in their first round Zone I game played at the York Community Centre yesterday.
    Daniel Callaghan scored the winning goal in the 18th minute after Andre Prince’s powerhouse was knocked down brilliantly by Glenmuir’s goalkeeper Kristopher Lewis.
    Callaghan was quickest to the loose ball before the Glenmuir defence could react and kicked into the open goal as Glenmuir crashed to their first defeat in group play since the 2001 season when they were beaten 2-1 by Old Harbour. Glenmuir avenged that loss with a 2-0 win in the return leg.
    Yesterday’s victory was also the first for Garvey Maceo over Glenmuir in the first round since the team started playing against each other four years ago.
    The result helped Garvey Maceo share the lead in Zone I with Old Harbour High, who edged Central High 1-0. Both teams are on nine points — three more than Glenmuir.
    Meanwhile, former champs
    Clarendon College continued their merry way in Zone H, chalking up win number four on the trot after edging Thompson Town 1-0.
    Another former winner, Vere Technical, and Lennon kept in touch in the points tables with victories over Claude McKay and Denbigh, respectively.
    Michael Moreland scored a hattrick in Vere’s 5-0 win to take his tally to six, joining four other players. Nichols Walker and Andre Brooks got the other goals for Vere Technical.
    Lennon edged Denbigh 1-0 to stay second in the Zone on ten points to lead Vere on goal difference.
    Michael Miller of Tacky High went from hero to zero, scoring one of two braces for his team in their 5-2 win over Islington High before picking up a red card in the 75th minute.
    Gailando Brown also got two goals for Tacky in their first win of the season in Zone K.
    St Elizabeth Technical (STETHS) returned to the winners’ circle after beating hosts Black River 2-0 as the losers dropped their second straight game in a matter of days and slipped to fourth in Zone E after Newell also won 1-0 over Maggotty.

    Solidarity is not a matter of well wishing, but is sharing the very same fate whether in victory or in death.
