Christiansburg/Wismar Secondary edge MHS 3-1 to win Linden Zone.

DEFENDING Champions Christiansburg Wismar Secondary School, more popularly known as ‘Multi’, defeated arch rivals Mackenzie High School (MHS) 3-1 yesterday to clinch the Linden Zone title of this year’s Digicel schools football tournament. 

The three-time National Champions pocketed $100 000 along with the winners’ trophy and a set of uniforms as they moved one step closer to the $1M overall prize.
Omar Brewley scored in the 14th minute from the penalty spot to give the defending champs the lead and ultimately the control of the game. Multi-Scorers
MHS failed to put together a threatening run against a sturdy ‘Multi’ defence, as the first half ended 1 -0.
Both sides made changes to their starting lineup but it was ‘Multi’ who were more forceful at both ends of the pitch.
While MHS struggled, ‘Multi’ turned up the pressure with several unsuccessful attempts until Bobb put them in the lead.
Bobb, in the 61st minute, latched on to a sweetly lobbed pass from Duquan Hercules to net a beautiful header, much to the delight of the huge crowd at the Wisburg Secondary School ground.
With a 2-0 lead, ‘Multi’ looked set for a comfortable win but MHS clawed their way back in the contest through Denielson Rose in the 72nd minute.
MHS had won a corner and Rose climbed above the defending champions’ towering defenders to head home his side’s lone goal of the game.
Like true champions, ‘Multi’, six minutes later scored their third and it was Bobb’s second.
A foul was given on the left flank and the champions quickly took the kick and slipped a ball through to Bobb who ended up one-on-one with the advancing goalkeeper.
The Multi forward neatly tucked the ball past the MHS keeper and sent his side’s supporters in jubilation.
MHS tried but failed to cope with Multi’s rock-solid defence.
