Barbican, 2010 JNBS Peter Cargill Cup Champions
|
BARBICAN SEEKS third STRAIGHT PETER CARGILL CUP 28.9.2011 – Barbican masters are on a quest to repeat as the JNBS Masters League mid-season champions for the third consecutive season when they meet Constant Spring on Sunday, October 2, at Winchester Park.
Avril Cargill greets referee Peter Muir at the 2010 Mid-Season final at Buttercup Park. Barbican, under the expert guidance of Manager/Coach Chris James, has dominated the Kingston and St. Andrew Masters Football League Association (KSAMLA) competitions by winning the league title a record six times (2001-2002, 2005, and 2008-2010); the mid-season final in 2009 and 2010; and have also won two editions of the league's opening day champions cup in 2009 and 2010.
Constant Spring, 2010 JNBS Peter Cargill Cup Runners-up The defending triple champions have virtually cruised to the zone A championship title with an impressive record of 9-1-1, scoring a league leading 32 goals while conceding a mere five. The Barbican attack this season has been spearheaded by the league's leading goal scorer, Denton Shedden, who has found the back of the net 15 times, while their defense is being marshaled by central defensive stalwarts Stafford Fong and Neville Wright.
Barbican's Denton Shedden (gold) - Constant Spring's Roger Reid Constant Spring has also been very formidable in winning the zone B title, and in doing so, has conquered the so-called "group of death" with an admirable 8-2-1 record. Spring has scored 30 goals with 8 against. Former Jamaican international, O'Neil "Chippy" McDonald, has led the Constant Spring attack this season with 9 goals, and is one of the leading candidates for the 2011 JNBS masters league "rookie of the year" award. Desmond Tucker and Roger Reid has been firm at the back of Spring's defense, and veteran Phillip Mack has been a consistent creative force in midfield.
Barbican's captain, Wayne Whonder (L), was presented with the Peter Cargill Cup in 2010 by Ambassador Stewart Stephenson and Judy Benjamin of title sponsor JNBS. Barbican and Constant Spring have met six times since Spring made their masters league debut in 2008. Barbican won four of those encounters while Spring has won two, including a 2-1 upset win in this year's JNBS masters league champions cup. Barbican beat Constant Spring 4-1 on penalties in the 2008 masters league championship final, and dominated Spring twice in 2010 with a narrow 3-2 win on penalties at the mid-season final, and edged Spring 2-1 for the 2010 league title.
