Jamaica College (JC) remained on course to lift the 2014-15 Walker Cup title after clipping Hydel 2-1 yesterday in the first game of a double header at the Constant Spring football field yesterday.

In the day's second game, St George's clipped Hydel1-0 to book their spot in the final against JC.

Jamaica College went ahead, after a defender handled the ball inside the penalty box in the 38th minute.

Captain Junior Flemming stepped up and struck his spot kick low and wide of the goalkeeper's outstretched arms for JC'S first goal.

"We performed well by following instructions," Flemming told Star Sports.

"We followed instructions and executed well in this tactically defensive game," he added. Flemmings has scored 12 goals for his team so far in all competitions. "I hope to continue the trend of scoring and leading from the front, so JC can continue winning," underlined Flemming.

JC began the second half by lobbing balls into Hydel's penalty box. The move yielded fruit in the 78th minute, when Akeem Shackleford caught goalkeeper Nicholas Clarke off his line.

Shackleford controlled delicately, and struck his shot powerfully into the back of Hydel's net for their second and decisive goal of the game. Stephen Barnett gave Hydel hope in the 80th minute when he pulled a goal back.

JC coach Miguel Coley lauded his team's effort.

"It is a good win going forward," he said.

"Credit to Hydel, they came out and played hard, so we are pleased with the final result. My boys played with passion and that decided the game," Coley added.

Donovan Hayles, coach of Hydel, believes his team missed too many chances.

"We could have had a better result, but my boys just didn't take the chances today, he said. They made too many mistakes," added Hayles.
