STGC 4, KC 3: All Hail the Big Side

[#1Fan]

I got this report on the game from a friend in Jamaica and have decided to share:

Gentlemen,
I had to share this with you immediately after the game today. 3 goals down in the 55th minute of the game and St.G.C. showed great courage, grit, calm, and determination to overcome that deficit and beat Kingston College 4-3 in today's clash between the giants of North Street. Hum....did I just say giants; perhaps I should have said giant in this instant.

Anyway, that is something to write home about and congratulate St.G.C. team for a great victory. Not withstanding the fact that KC is not one of the best teams in the competition, Georges showed wonderful character in this amazing comeback. I'm not sure if the team has the technical competence to win the Manning Cup again this year, but this victory today over KC is enough for me to say Georges deserve 100% praise for effort. St.G.C. rules!!

A wonderful football game

The Editor, Sir;
On November 6, I was taught a major lesson in tenacity, fighting spirit, the never-say-die attitude of a true champion and I was overwhelmed.
As a St George's College old boy (class of '70), I was fortunate to attend the Manning Cup match between St GC and our North Street neighbour and rival, Kingston College at the Constant Spring Football Complex. Our Manning Cup clashes usually bring out past [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]students[/color][/color] of both schools in their numbers and regalia and November 6 was no different.
At half-time, [COLOR=blue! important][COLOR=blue! important]Kingston[/color][/color] College - through a brilliant, world-class free kick and two lapses by the St George's goalkeeper - were leading 3-0 and I was concerned that we would surrender bragging rights on North Street after nipping KC in the annual Roper Cup in August.
At half-time, I paid very close attention to the St George's coach, Neville 'Bertis' Bell, and his team, who appeared to be quite composed, relaxed and seemingly not worried in the least about the scoreline.
Quality football
Lo and behold when the second half began, I witnessed a display of quality football and the qualities of a champion that I have not seen for a very long time, as St George's fought back tenaciously to tie the score 3-3 and then score the winner in the dying moments of the game, ironically by Rohan Roye, a former Kingston College player who, earlier in the season, transferred to St George's and was eligible to play for the team.
It was astounding! For the obvious discipline and composure displayed by the players, kudos must go to the coach, Neville Bell; the team's # 10 player who came on at half-time and engineered the team's victory and the entire squad of players who proved that 'in unity there is strength'.
All in all, it was a wonderful game of football and a pity that one side had to lose.
In the same breath, remember your motto KC - 'The brave may fall but never yield'.
I am, etc.,
