Former <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 700; COLOR: orange! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">Jamaica</SPAN> midfield magician Theodore Whitmore pulled off a small miracle in the opening game of a double header at Jarrett Park on Sunday when he inspired Seba United to a 1-0 win, their fourth success in 13 games, over Village <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 700; COLOR: orange! important; BORDER-BOTTOM: orange 1px solid; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent">United</SPAN> at Jarrett Park.
In the feature encounter, Wadadah and Reno played to a goalless finish.
The win was a positive start for Whitmore who was appointed interim coach for two games following the departure of Geoffrey Maxwell last week, a few days after a 0-3 loss to Portmore United.
"I think it was a disciplined game from Seba. We did not have Sion McNish and Damion Williams, but we just had to work. The three points are long overdue and a win is a win so we just have to take it from there," a pleased Whitmore said after the win which pulled them out of the relegation zone.
Glenroy Miller provided the vital strike in the 45th minute to put a smile on the faces of the faithful who turned out to support their team.
But while the result was different there were not many differences in the way the team played. What was impressive about the team was the performance of attacking players Delroy Ellis and Oliver Trail who were used as markers due to <SPAN class=kLink style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: orange! important; FONT-FAMILY: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; POSITION: relative">injuries</SPAN> and absences.
As has been the case so far this season, Seba knocked the ball around well, but found it difficult to score. For the early first half it appeared as if it would be another misfiring evening as Wilfred Smith, Miller, and Ricardo Geddes had missed opportunities. Of the three only Geddes could not be blamed for missing.
