Sport

BY PAUL A REID Observer writer Monday, July 22, 2013

MONTEGO BAY, St James — Club Stars FC and Heights FC will contest the St James Football Association Guardian Life Division Two final following exciting one goal wins over Somerton FC and Faulklands FC in the return-leg semi-finals played at the UDC Field on Thursday.Faulkland FC rallied from a 0-2 deficit to earn a 2-2 draw against Heights on Thursday, but Heights’ first-leg 1-0 lead gave them the edge 3-2 on aggregate, while Club Stars beat Somerton 2-1 in the second game for a 4-3 aggregate win after the first leg a week prior had ended 2-2.Both teams have earned automatic berths into the Division One competition next season by virtue of making it to the final.After coming from 0-2 down to earn a draw in the first game, Club Stars took the lead when Micoi Myers scored the first of his double in the 16th minute.The lead lasted until the 78th minute when Marvin Ellis headed a corner past the Club Stars goalkeeper to tie up the scores once again, 1-1 on the day, and 3-3 on aggregate.Myers responded soon after with a low shot that found the net to give Club Stars the lead for good.Heights took a 1-0 lead into their game and Jason Taylor scored twice in the 25th and 32nd minutes to extend their lead.Richard Robinson, in the 41st minute, and Gary Taylor, in the 56th, cut the deficit to one, but that was as close as they would get.Errol Anderson (foreground) of Somerton shields the ball from Club Stars’ Sean Sutherland in last Thursday’s St James Football Association Guardian Life Division Two return-leg semi-final at the UDC field.

Saturday, June 29, 2013

POLICE yesterday shot and killed one man and arrested another following an alleged shoot-out with a group of men in Kirkland Heights, St Andrew.The name of the dead man was not released up to press time.Police cornered the men after they allegedly carried out a series of robberies in and around Red Hills and were attempting to make their escape through East Kirkland Heights.Police said about 1:00 am they received reports that a group of men travelling in a grey motor car held up and robbed several people in the Chancery Hall area.“After receiving the reports, a police team saw a group of men travelling in a vehicle fitting the description of the one in which the robbers were seen,” said an officer from the St Andrew North Police Division.He said the men opened fire at the police when they were signalled to stop. The fire, he added, was returned and the driver of the vehicle lost control and it crashed into a utility pole.“Two men alighted from the vehicle and fled into nearby bushes while the driver was held,” police said. The police added that following a search of the area the body of one man was found in the bushes, while the other escaped.Yesterday, scores of residents from Kirkland Heights expressed shock at the incident, adding that in recent months their communities have come under attack from robbers.“Is just last week I had to run for my life after gunmen travelling in a vehicle held up me and a friend while we were walking along the road,” said one resident, while another said only recently gunmen held her up and took her money and other valuables.Police carry out investigations yesterday at the scene where one man was shot dead and another held in Kirkland Heights, St Andrew.
