    <SPAN style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: newspaper; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In an entertaining game before a large crowd, Obrian Woodbine (7th minute), Demar Howard (53rd), Clovis Crooks (54th) and Sedane McCreath (76th) scored for Frome. </SPAN>
    <SPAN style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: newspaper; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">DeCarteret’s goals came from Dean Gayle in the 34th and 69th and Sandrie Wilson in the 84th. </SPAN>
    <SPAN style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: newspaper; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Woodbine’s header from a leftside cross gave Frome the early lead. But DeCarteret, while suspect in defence, were always dangerous in attack and deserved their equaliser when Gayle latched onto the loose ball spilled by the diminutive Frome goalkeeper Odane Sereaton and slotted home. </SPAN>
    <SPAN style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: newspaper; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">But Frome came surging forward in the second half, passing the ball about nicely on the recently renovated surface and quickly went two goals clear. First, Howard knocked in Woodbine’s freekick and a minute later Crooks, served by Kenrick Samuels, sliced through the middle to hit his grounder past goalkeeper Delroy Dillon. </SPAN><SPAN id=Ar0220102 style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: newspaper; TEXT-ALIGN: justify"></SPAN>
    <SPAN style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: newspaper; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">DeCarteret pulled one back 15 minutes later when Gayle acrobatically booted home a corner kick from the left. </SPAN>
    <SPAN style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: newspaper; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">But Frome soon regained the two-goal cushion — as McCreath capped a smooth pass from Howard following good combination play to bury his left foot grounder inside goalkeeper Dillion’s left hand post. </SPAN>
    <SPAN style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: newspaper; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">With the minutes ticking away, DeCarteret’s ever dangerous Wilson finished off a sweeping attack with his right-foot grounder past a helpless Sereaton. </SPAN>
    <SPAN style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: newspaper; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Frome coach Boysie Nicholson said his side was hampered by the absence of first-choice goalie Shamar Mullings, who is injured; key midfielder Delano Rankine with the national under-20 squad, and defender Odane Ottey on card suspension. </SPAN>
    <SPAN style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: newspaper; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">That apart, Nicholson felt his side would have to improve significantly especially in defence “if we (Frome) are to win this competition”. </SPAN>
    <SPAN style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: newspaper; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Decarteret’s coach Pawsey Lyn also felt his side </SPAN><SPAN id=Ar0220103 style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: newspaper; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">was also let down in defence. “Our wing-backs allowed Frome to get behind them too regularly,” he said. </SPAN>
    <SPAN style="TEXT-JUSTIFY: newspaper; TEXT-ALIGN: justify">At Jarrett Park, Petersfield survived a confident and skilful Ocho Rios High team to win 2-1 in extra time. The teams had pl
