It's the walk of the final for 2023, a family venue, the national stadium of Jamaica in Kingston. It's an anti-technical versus a Jamaica College. And what a store we have on our hands. The script writers perhaps could not have done it any better. The BFOs, old rivals, standout teams for the past six years. Jamaica College consistently getting the better of San Andro-technical. Can they now turn the tables or will it be more of the same for Jamaica College? Beautiful scenery. That's a shot off the title, the trophy on hand. Last year's winners. Hi, they were eliminated early and the prognostic, prognosticators rather had it that Jamaica College and San Andro-technical were the top two teams and they perhaps should have been in the Manning Cup final, but that is not the story. They now line up for another swan song in their story past this time in the Walker Cup final 2023. What a schoolboy football season we've seen. It has been a tremendous season, goals are plenty, action, drama and yes, for 90 minutes another hard stuffing, hard pumping, game of football in action and it's yes on your home of champions. San Andro-technical they have smiles on their faces, there's a calm about them, but in the shadows as you may only see the silhouette on your screen, 22 men will enter through that tunnel and do battle over 90 minutes. At the time Marshall, the number 10, he on his birthday scored in the Manning Cup, the Walker Cup, I beg your pardon, semi-final against Wolmers. What do we have on our hands today? To be quick with us, ever present, the flag man for San Andro-technical high school has a flag, has a horn as well and you'll hear a lot of that, Jamaica College, they, the substitutes, they now make their way and expecting a lot, national under 15 player there Giovanni Tela, he should come off the bench and they have loads of quality at Jamaica College. Good rivals, what goes on in the mind of the players are their nerves, is there much reservation? What can they deliver? What will we see? Fervent Opus in campus, that's their coach, David Ferguson, he makes a solid march as well as we get ready for kickoff apart, the Mount Pleasant coaching staff as well, Mount Pleasant Football Academy coaching staff would have won this season this year in the Jamaica Premier League. Can he add more silverware to what has already been in a storied schoolboy football coaching career for him? What a moment and Chris Taylor is on hand and I'm Dean Smith and we're expecting a great matchup in 2023, walk a cup final, the national stadium, speakers and all, here is the anthem and from the silhouette, we now see the flag bearers, we see the most important thing on hand the ball, the match officials, they now make their march as well and behind them, the players, many of whom would have dreamt of playing in front of the national stadium audience and this isn't being fulfilled before our very eyes, it's the walk a cup final, they go across the track, a track that has witnessed greatness and they enter a field that has witnessed greatness for Jamaica, this was the venue that it was confirmed that Jamaica qualified for the 1998 World Cup and now these players try to add it to the story, the many stories inside the national stadium, it's a walk a cup final, what a moment we have Chris Taylor. Yeah lovely moment, these teams have met so many times over recent years, been arguably two of the strongest teams over the last decade and even though stats really have nothing to show for it in terms of trophies, this yet another opportunity, another final for Phillip Williams and his boys, albeit not necessarily the final they would have wanted to be competing in but it's still a trophy and one that they could finally lift, no trophy since 1987 for Sintangio technical and in this competition, a trophy that has been pretty dry for Jamaica College, if you look at the entire duration of this competition the three titles compared to over 30 in a Manning Cup, so it's a title that they've really struggled to attain Jamaica College and yeah, this promise is to be another blockbuster with two very talented sides who fell short but still as you said, something big at stake. Something big at stake and the one-up manship that I'm sure will stand as a predominant feature of this game stands tall because whichever team wins will have a hand, will have a say over the other team because they've faced each other so often. The pleasantries are being done as the sponsors have their moment in the limelight greeting the players and officials, of course Matthew Leiber there representing Sportsmax, a part of the pleasantries, what a moment for him. The three finals, these two have competed over the last five to six years so it just shows the strength of these two units, the setup of the two schools, they want to call it the academy that they have and yeah, kudos to them as well, somewhat amazing as well that stats have only come out on the winning side of things on one occasion some four years ago but the matches have always been close as we said three times they have not only have they gone to finals but what three or four times they have played in penalty shootouts to decide the encounter so it just shows how tight it is between the two schools over the time even though the navy blue has come out on top more times than not. Here's a captain Richard Livingston, he knows he must deliver a blockbuster performance to guide the team from bumper hall of Spanish down road to their first senior schoolboy football title since 1987, of course they would have won beyond the 16th competition two seasons ago, here are the referees Tarun Robinson, Rick Tanacha and Ricardo McKenzie, his assistants, the fourth official Kelsa Anderson, they have the charge over this afternoon's encounter. Tarun Robinson has been around for a while, they take a break from officiating for a period as well as overseas as we see the stats start in 11. Jaheem Williams in goal, Alex Xavier Gooden, J. Lloyd Smith and Kimar Thompson the back three, they have five in the middle of the park at the base and they call Gail and Kalanjie Watson also there Richard Livingston, Dwayne Atkinson and Rashon Frankson, up top we have Andre Salmon and Leon Brown, their coach by Philip Williams. Jamaica College let's have a quick look at their starting lineup, roll rented in goal, Tariq Jones, Revon Mills, Dylan John, Tahir Lawrence, Jaden Johnson, Branson Sayers Jr, Dante Logan, Jamari Howell, Jamoy Dennis, Malachi Sterling, their coach by Davion Ferguson, their lineup is a 4-2-3-1 and the normal defensive player Malachi Sterling goes into the middle of the park at the central midfielder now, what impact they had. Renson Sayers the captain, Vincentian from St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Livingston who many feel has somewhat played out of position throughout this season, I would actually like to see more in a central role is a captain of St. Andrew technical has been used as a flank player, I don't think he's a natural flank player even though he's talented on both feet, but he doesn't really have the speed in the way that you would expect nowadays in the modern game of football, modern style of football. Agreedly one of the things that I see with him though why perhaps Phillip Williams sees it fit to play in the flank is because he doesn't naturally go towards goal, even in the Walker Cop semifinal had an opportunity to really rifle a shot, went for the cross, was a good cross, nobody can take that from him, he definitely has a good delivery, but the attacking mindset, the goal word mindset that you think somebody in the middle of the park should have, I haven't seen that from him. What I do think he has is his vision and creativity and I think that's somewhat was lacking when you looked at the semifinal performance of St. Andrew technical for the quarterfinals performance that was missing in terms of you know how they created their opportunities. And I thought a person like him who passes with two feet and as he said can see the big picture would be better deployed there. I mean how many opportunities did he really get to cross ball as I said not a natural winger, but stats blessed with talent. And so to try and find a space for each player who Philip Williams once in the starting lineup has been maybe difficult in itself. It certainly has been. Let's see how they deliver. St. Andrew technical Jamaica College. They will have the kickoff and say as a punter to the field trying to find Dylan John, but it's how will on the ball. And now St. Andrew technical trying to break forward. Alex Xavier Good and his past misguided goes the way of John now for Jamaica College swings it to the right tennis there. Call goes in the favor of Jamaica College on that occasion. Opportunity for a great delivery early in the encounter for Jamaica College. Let's see how they deal with this one comes in the area. Let's go but it's goes very high still not fully cleared, but perhaps semi cleared now and that one perhaps. Went out of touch you it did. It's a throwing now for St. Andrew technical taken quickly. And let's see what they can make of this year. Living star does get the throw in. Taken quickly. Can he whip it in? Calls it back. Goes to the line and tries to bring it across. I don't talk about those talented delivers. There's an example of that. Good skill as well. And many persons for St. Andrew technical believe that had he been a part of the team. Last season, of course, he would not been there because of injury. Alex Xavier Good in there being brought down me that J Lloyd Smith being brought down there as Jamaica College tried to come forward. Had he been a part of the team last season, they perhaps would have won. That's all conjecture. Speculations, but that history can't be rewritten. Can it? Long ball booted up field. Salmon still giving some problems, but. Jamaica College able to come out of the danger and they come forward now. Jane Johnson on the ball. That's Philip Williams, the head coach of St. Andrew technical. Also teaches at the institution for close to 20 years now. Mechanical join. Let's see if he can drop a plan to finally get the upper hand in a final. It really matters over Jamaica College. Easily played out by St. Andrew technical. Malachi Sterling has really settled by the team just yet. Here's Logan on the ball. Gets it to John, but all the way back to hear Lawrence and he finds his goalkeeper. Trying to. Get the control that David Ferguson loves to implement. That's certainly his coach in mantra and showing that there's control. I wasn't the bad control on that occasion, but. To make a comment still come out with the ball though. Dennis to Johnson and the channels that they're trying to play through either team have effectively been blocked off by the opposing defenders. And this is really expected to be a chess match. That's David Ferguson, head coach of Jamaica College. Enviable. Title of winning. Head around. It's that man again. It's Leon Brown again for St. Andrew technical highest, even though he's the meditative and he beat Roll Rent and all ends out. Can this be the turnaround for St. Andrew technical? It really came high on the first time. Delivery, Chris Taylor. What about that? Yeah, nice delivery into the area and Brown. It wasn't properly marked either. Not the best defending from Jamaica College, but kudos to Brown as well who headed it into the turf, which made it even harder for Renton. It's the first goal. JC have conceded in the walk-up this season. And that was a good finish. 17 on the season now for Leon Brown. And in major matches this season, you would say he has not come up trumps for this St. Andrew technical team. And obviously rectifying that very early here. In the quarter-final against Haile Selassie, he scored both goals. And that was a part of the reason they would have moved on to the semi-final and eventually the final. So, blooming late in the season. Well, I mean, as you said, 17 goals on the season. He did score quite a bit in the early rounds of the competition. But in the Manning Cup, in some critical games, in that quarter-final stage, where you would have looked to see Leon Brown come to light, he got heavy criticism, just was out of the game totally. But yeah, good to see him find a pocket of space as he's done at the moment as well. The delivery from Franks was magnificent. Who also picked up his second assist of the season. Rashan Franks. But yeah, I think he was intelligent from Brown just to head it into the turf. Because it was still quite a distance from goals. Yeah, it was. And that helped to propel it past Renton. Alexi Avogudin had a strike of fury from this angle. That goes straight to the wall. In the quarter-final matchup against Kingston College, they lost that match 1-0. You mean in the Manning Cup? In the Manning Cup, yeah. Here they come again. St. Andrew Technical broken up, Jane Johnson. And in that match against Kingston College, they enjoyed a lot of the possession. But the problem for them was that they weren't very creative. The passes were very lateral and back. No player trying something different, no player willing to take on defenders. And that was a part of St. Andrew Technical's game that I found disappointing, even though they're so talented. Yeah, there's the challenge coming in. And Brown down again for St. Andrew Technical. In that game, as you mentioned against Kingston College, I don't know why, but I just felt a speed of the game. And when you actually sped up the game, of course, on Sportsmax's YouTube channel, I went to times two in terms of speed. And when you saw the accuracy and the consistency in how they were playing St. Andrew Technical, you could see the repetition and how it's really drilled in them. But again, as you mentioned, to further your point, there was nothing creative about their play. It was just routine. And having seen them all season at Kingston College, they were able to draft a plan that really stymied all the progress that they would have wanted to make. Yeah, well, Brown is back onto his feet, which is good to see from a stats perspective. Two times in quick succession. But yeah, certainly I agree with you, Dean. And as I said, if the routine is working, then fine. And against weaker teams in the first round of the competition, the routine will work. Because all these players are talented, especially going forward. Versatile attacking line in terms of goal scoring, lots of scorers, lots of persons who have the ability to put the ball in a box against weak defensive opposition. But when you come up against a team that is very organized, sometimes you have to do something out of the book, out of the ordinary. Absolutely. Change it up if it's not working. And that's what they couldn't do. Jaheem Williams there, equal to the task. And showing that no danger came from that. Attack in play from Jamaica College. Here's a natural technical trying to go the other way. First starts letting him down. Here's how it is trying to switch the play. But charge on and it fell to Gooden, who took a few touches too many, I believe. Apologizes, getting the goal kick there. Dylan John was unhanded to cause some amount of problems. Dylan John, a lateral around there. Alakai Sterling on the ball. Gets it to Dante Logan. Evades the press easily. Here's Mills. Paul played forward there by Tariq Jones. Off tilt. It's a goal kick again for Sanandro Technical. Nikoi Gale had a great game. In the semifinal, gets it to Franks. And Franks' first stop to let him down. Another player on the turf for Sanandro Technical. It isn't Nikoi Gale. He's back up now, able to, as we'd say, proverbially in Jamaica, run it off. It's a throwing for Jamaica College. Some rotation being deployed in the positioning for Jamaica College. Jamoy Dennis coming over on the left flank, started on the right. Here's Logan. Charged on, effectively, by Kalanji Watson. Gale is fast cut out. Logan to Dennis. Gets it to Howell. Sterling on the ball, so easy on the ball. Jones switches it over to Logan. Trying to create spaces Jamaica College. Here's Dennis whipping it across. Headed out by Sanandro Technical. But it goes to Tariq Jones. And they're happy to keep possession. Sarah Streisel lifted in the area. Dennis is there being close, marshaled by Alex Xavier Gooden. But it's still with Jamaica College. Logan to Dennis. Tahir Lawrence now. And Howell do this all afternoon, Jamaica College. Let's see if there's some killer instinct to the final action. Dennis on the ball. Howell Jones showed just a shade too much of that one. It's booted up field by Sanandro Technical. He's a throwing for Sanandro Technical, taken quickly. What is the final without the school dramas? Definitely keeping vibe high and alive. Dangerous moments. He's really played out out of touch, though. Here's a throwing for Sanandro Technical. Frankson gets it in the area, but headed out. Sarah's the captain, well-handled by Kemar Thompson. One of three central defenders for Sanandro Technical. Of course, their system, three at the back, five in the middle of the park, and two forwards. Here's Jones. Mills. And Sarah's gets it to Mills, who finds the pink boots off Malachi Sterling. He's under pressure. They do manage to get it away. Here's Logan on the ball. Has seen quite a lot of the ball. Has Dante Logan, and that's certainly happy. Just the soak of all the pressure, or the give us much time on the ball, as Jamaica College would want. Could head her out there for stats again. Jones gets it to John. Sarah's lifts it up. Solid defending so far from Sanandro Technical as well. But very hot conditions here at the National Stadium. You just wonder as this match goes on, how that will take a toll, especially in terms of, not only the legs, but in terms of concentration. Will we see more errors, which will create more goalscoring opportunities? Both teams have been pretty good defensively. And I haven't considered a lot of goals. As I said, in important matches, both teams fall in shot. Sanandro Technical actually failing to score. Two of their three quarterfinal matches, which is a big surprise in the quarterfinal round. Both with three-nil wins to get here in the semifinals. So, from that perspective, very good. As I said, Jamaica College only conceding for the first time here in the final, in the Walker Cup. So, of course, both these teams, because they fell out of the Manning Cup in the quarterfinal days, they would have joined the Walker Cup in round two and not round one. Effectively, the quarterfinal round, yeah. But some may hear quarterfinal round and wonder, where did we start? Where did we start at a round of 128, a round of 64? Yeah. So, it's a water break. They're loving the vibe. Here's a look at the opening goal for Sanandro Technical. Franksson got it on the right in flank, lifted in first time. And Leon Brown punching the air in triumph there as he opened the account. 17 goals this season for the number nine. Excellent finish from him. 17 goals to go with six assists on a solid season for Leon Brown, much improved from last year. Certainly, in terms of his finishing, has improved a lot, a lot more clinical. And as I said, for such a shot, player good to see him finish so well with the head as well. Granted, he wasn't under any pressure, but still with a quick thought, needed to look up, realize where the goalkeeper was his distance and what he had to do to beat him. And he did it well. The lead have good sign for Sanandro Technical. The one time they beat JC, which was in 2019, is the only time they have led since 2017. So, since 2017, they've always had to work from behind. This is the first time, well, this is the second time they have led, the first time it was a victory. So, let's see if history follows them today. Brenton putting himself under some pressure there. Undue pressure, if you ask me, getting a firm talk into from the JC defensive line as well. Tyrone Robinson ensuring that the player taking the throwing doesn't steal too many yards. Here's Logan on the ball. Threads it through for Jaden Johnson. Get the return ball from him. Goes central to Jabari Howell, has faced the dribble. But yeah, Stats, having the numbers in the midfield. Here they come the other way now. Salmon tries to spread it across. Atkinson's there trying to lift it in the area, but was charged down. Here they are in position to make a college being equal to the task there. Throwing for Jamaican college taken quickly. Can they make something of this? Two defenders surrounding him, he gets around. Got the shot off, but it was charged down. They play forward now. And can they go the other way? Here's Leon Brown. Draws two defenders with him. Trying to get it across. Dust evades two of them. Gets around, but Jamaican college able to clear. Dennis there drawing the foul as well. Quite a few nibbles there, eh? Nothing major. And maybe that's what referee Tyrone Robinson thought as well. Off field for Brown. Kudos to Brown, though, for trying to stay on his feet and work his way. Here's Howell for Jamaican college to Logan Mills. Sterling, his pass was overcooked. Goes out of touch. 25 minutes gone in this encounter. National on the 17th player, Alex Davia Gooden. Boots it forward. Actually, captain of the team last year on some occasions. Here they come forward now. Sterling to Johnson for a challenge on that occasion. And they make no apologies about it either. Gooden himself in the area, strong challenge. And to make sure that he timed it very well. Here you see it. Johnson getting away well timed by Gooden. Made sure just as the ball got away from Johnson, that he made a tackle at that point. Sometimes defenders hesitate at that point when they see the ball going away, wait a little. And by the time they put in the foot, the ball has gone ahead. And they end up taking down the player. So spectators on hand inside the national stadium, getting in on the action. Quite a few from Jamaica College. So far, of course, the Manning Cup final comes up after this. Another team in blue in the form of Heidel versus Mona for human red. So red will definitely be here all evening, as well as blue. The only thing left is purple, the combination color. Yeah. You just had to put in the purple, didn't you? What are you trying to get at, Pistele? I'm not sure if you're trying to complete the spectrum. Yeah. Flight of scoping. And what is sure is that it will be a first time winner in the Manning Cup. Whoever comes out on top starts, if they win here, it will be the first time ever for them. Jamaica College will be the first time since 2017. Three times in their long story history have they ever won this competition. Here comes that. They tried to get that one across. Hasn't been really cleared. Still in possession. Here's Frankson. Can't shoot from that angle. Did try the shot. Here they come again. Looks to be Atkinson on the ball, but touched too many there. And Jamaica College able to push forward now. Here's Frankson. Frankson, too, going down. Jade Johnson still feeling the effects. Perhaps of that earlier challenge, Jade Johnson still being treated. Still feeling the effects from that challenge. There's a really strong challenge from good former captain. Giovanni Taylor here, being sent to get ready. If Jade Johnson is unable to continue. Key, another player there warming up. The unfortunate for Jamaica College to lose Johnson is that kind of player who scores in important matches. Turns up when he's needed. If you look at most of the critical matches, Johnson has been on the score sheet. Second highest in the scoring chart for Jamaica College with 12. Dylan John leads with 15 here. Cross comes over, played away, and a stat still in possession. Throw it. Gale is trying to get it across, but charged down. They're wasted by St. Andrew Technical. Straight to Jamaica College player. They get a foul going the other way as well. Here's Jones. Dennis, all the channels have been plugged effectively by St. Andrew Technical. Another player for Jaycees down. It is Johnson, and perhaps that's the end of his campaign in the Waka Cup final. Perhaps, let's see. Stretcher has come out. Wow. Big moment is really unfortunate for Johnson. You can see the grimace on his face, but it will be a chance, an opportunity. A young Giovanni Taylor, eight goals and seven assists on the season there, number 10. He'll probably be called off the bench a little bit early, although it seems that it might be Garrick, actually, and not Taylor. So it is Garrick, who is going to make the appearance. Terry Garrick, one goal and three assists on the season. Thought it might have been Taylor, but he did play in the Colts or under 16 much. Was it the semifinal yesterday? So yeah, it might be taken at all. Maybe not as fresh as they would want him. Yeah, especially for a physical encounter with the current defense of St. Andrew Technical. Jaycee actually won that semifinal under 16 encounter ahead of Calabar. So it was worth it, then. Yes, it was. Here's Nikoi Gale for St. Andrew Technical. His pass was hindered, and Andre Savin was unable to get a hold of it. Jamaica College trying to push forward the other way. So you're saying, yes, well worth it from a Taylor perspective, because Jamaica College ended up winning that semifinal. Here they come again. Good save. Garrick. Immediate impact. Yeah, first moment for him in the match. Not the cleanest strike with the left foot, but I think that actually worked in his favor. Made it difficult. Not sure it was Sneak and Indo, might have just hit the upright. Here's the corner kick. It's in the area. Jamaica College unable to get ahead to it, but they'll map up at the back now, and you'll see a lot of this from Raul Renton. That's a part of how David Ferguson likes even his goalkeepers to be a part of the action, giving him an extra man to keep that control. That's the mantra, as I mentioned earlier. 2009, 2010, 2017. The three times that Jamaica College have won the Walker Cup, and in fact, in 2017, that's the last time that all Manning Cup teams were able to compete in the Walker Cup. Of course, they changed the format after that year. Much to the dismay of Jamaica College, who felt they should have gotten an opportunity to defend their title, instead of deciding to change the format to give more teams an opportunity. And also to lessen the workload of the teams who had to be playing in four, well, possibly four competitions, especially those who made it to the final. With the advent of the Champions Cup, which is a knockout in itself. So, yeah, there's much debate over that, but it has remained, it initially started with what? Was it 12, eight teams, then went to 12, and it's been tweaked over the years. I actually like the format that they have now, Dean. I think, good thought process from the ISSA Executive. How it is now is that the teams that fall out at the round of 16, play the first round of the Walker Cup, and then they lose us in the quarterfinal round, then join them for the second round. Yeah, second round being the quarterfinal stage, and then we go from there. More creative thinking. Here's Sears with the free kick after that challenge, from good and on theory, Garrick. What can we see from the captain in terms of his delivery? Get it in the area. So, he, Williams, is happy to guide it out. Not the best from Sears, who's usually good from the deadball scenarios. That one a bit too deep in terms of delivery, and Williams, as he said, shadowing it out of play. Can't say I've been impressed with the pass in accuracy, either team, on the afternoon. I was just about to say that if the game continued with this level of pace and intensity, I think St. Andrew Technical will be pretty happy. I don't think JC have been very innovative in their play. They haven't really changed the top, made incisive diagonal runs, even if they're not getting the ball, just to pull the defenders out of position. So, it's been pretty easy for good and on company. Sterling was trying to get that forward, but again, cut out by St. Andrew Technical. And even though on paper, St. Andrew Technical have said they're playing a 3-5-2 formation, I think for the most part, it's really four at the bat, because Frankson does sit quite a bit, the number 14, even though he likes to get forward. So, for the moment, especially since they got the goal, it's really been a four-man backline. Here's Dennis for JC, gets it across. Kemar Thompson was trying to, well, has managed to play it forward. Here's Salmon, Atkinson. Each other captain was wondering how I haven't heard from him all afternoon. Livingston, Stats still in possession. And Salmon there, unable to really bring it under his spell. Here they come again. Could this be a moment? Salmon has spread it wide. Not a moment for St. Andrew Technical and Andre Salmon. Didn't he fluff his lines there? Could first touch from Salmon, but yeah, just didn't keep his composure there. Was looking to hit it with the outside of the right boot, which is a difficult technique, but probably the right one to get it around the keeper. But it didn't come off the outside of the boot instead. It came off somewhere around the instep or the toe, and hence went wide. But yeah, sometimes wasteful Salmon, and even though he scored, what, some nine goals this season, probably should have been in double digits by now, based on the amount of chances he's got in the season. I remember the Wokokop semifinal had quite a few lookings, and he just couldn't convert. But I hope you're converted.

The difference, sporting offerings from Sportsmax, schoolboy football, La Liga, and so much more. Definitely need to get these Sportsmax app. Gale, Jones was trying to stamp it forward, but yeah, the game hasn't really lived up to the billing in the opening 41 minutes. Which this competition, when it was just remodeling 28, it did suffer from a lack of intensity, because a lot of teams were just disappointed that they hadn't made it through to the Manningkok. But I think since they have made some further adjustments, it's given more enthusiasm, more support. And then as you said, with these two teams playing, you just expect a blockbuster, because they have been so close over the last five to six years. Not much to separate them. And most times they are goal or a penalty shootout, which is exactly what we're faced with here. Here's Jamaica Connard trying to keep possession, played around, but again, good defensive organization from San Andro-Technical. Can they make something of this one now? Trying to get by two.  And played out further, but Nikoi Gale is there, still has possession. Gale was queuing up the shot, but went against that choice. Yeah. Summer now, his pass very poor in the end. Good defensive work. That from J. Lloyd Smith. As you can see, when they're coming across the 18-yard area, which was a complaint, they're too lateral with their passing, What about a couple forwards, Leon Brown, so making that diagonal run, carrying a defender. He doesn't have to receive the ball, but at least create an opportunity for a defense splitting pass. I just find that they're easily red because their pass is just coming on a straight line basically across that 18-yard area. So unless there's a gap there, there's nothing doing. Player down for San Andro-Technical. Looks to be... Yeah, it is the captain, Richard Livingston. Again, not involved enough for my liking. Good when the ball comes to his feet or wide, but I think he needs to be one of those that are deciding factor in the play. And hence why I get your point that he's good from delivering from wide, but because he's so influential, I would like to see him in the spinies, as I said, not an out-and-out winger, by any means, with his pace, running ability, or how he takes on players to the line, but how he impacts the game, I think, through the spine with his two-footed ability. Some of what we want to see from San Andro-Technical, he could create. Yes, he doesn't score... Well, we say he doesn't score many, but he scored about 10 on the season. So he still does score. I would just like to see him in that kind of role. He's up on his feet now, Richard Livingston. That's a shot of Froome-Technical. He'll be playing the Ben Francis Cup knockout final tomorrow against McGraw. Clayton Stevens, the coach there, and the blue hat to the far right of your capia. But here, Jamaica College trying to come forward, but again, San Andro-Technical, they have really defended well. Although Jamaica College haven't really been incisive in front in the final third either, here they come again. Again, that was cut out. Here's Mills, Sears. That was well read. And J. Lloyd-Smith, his pass. A lot of persons might not have known, but that same Froome-Technical looked at well as school. I actually did lift that title some 17 years ago in 2006. Here's Garrick on the ball for Jamaica College in the area, force-wide. Only time they've ever won the Ben Francis to go with their one D'Costa Cup title as well, Froome-Technical. Well, this is a chance for their first scene at Silverware. Never done it before. Here's Jones trying to get it across. And where were the blue shirts attacking the back post? It was not there. They have to commit more players forward in sensible areas, Jamaica College. Through the final minute of three, added on. Dante Logan with that attempt to there. Tyrone Robinson has seen enough of the first half of the Walker Cup final for 2023. A lone goal from that man, Leon Brown sees it. And J. Technical going to the halftime break with a one lead. Jamaica College were shell-shocked. Of course, that goal came in the fifth minute of play. And David Ferguson and company, they'll have a lot to discuss in the halftime break. He'll have a lot to talk about as well. Will it be a final crowning moment for him? For them? Well, so much more. We will see. Here if a Champions League is on Sportsmax 2 this Tuesday, PSB versus Arsenal, 12.45 in Jamaica, 1.45 in the Eastern Caribbean. And it's really Champions League week inter-real Sociedad Tuesday, 3.00 p.m. 4.00 in the Eastern Caribbean. Union Berlin, Real Madrid, 3.00 p.m. 4.00 in the Eastern Caribbean. Then on Wednesday, on Sportsmax 2, the U.F. Champions League RB Leipzig versus Young Boys, 12.45, 1.45 in the Eastern Caribbean. Dortmund versus PSG, 3.00 p.m. 4.00 in the Eastern Caribbean. Roya Antwerp versus Barcelona, Wednesday, 3.00 p.m. 4.00 in the Eastern Caribbean as well. We're back at the National Stadium. St. Andrew Technical leads Jamaica College 1-0 after the first half in the Issa-Walker Cup final for 2023. Some of the players for Jamaica College, Derrick Jones and Dylan John. Jamoy Dennis also re-engaging his feet for what is expected to be another 45-minute off tactical and physical battles. Richard Livingston, captain, as well as a few of his charges. Kalanjee Watson there and Kemar Thompson in your shot. And yeah, that's the walker cup. Second of action now. St. Andrew Technical with the kickoff. Nikoi Gale getting things going there. Kemar Thompson on the ball, trying to push it forward for the target man, Leon Brown. Fraxen trying to switch it to Livingston through here. And Renjan was alert to the danger. Will we see an energetic 45 minutes? Well, we need to. It's been disappointing so far. Here's Jamaica College with the shot. Over the top. For Dylan John as well. Their leading goal scorer. Kind of position that he usually lets you make you pay. Unusual space created here. And if you think about it, that was a really good chance. Should have done better with the finish. Technically good on the ball, good kickoff the ball. But just didn't get it right on that occasion. 15 goals and four assists for JCC's number seven. Only once this entire season has Jamaica College failed to score. And it was against Heidel in the quarterfinals, a one-nil loss. So they have found a way on most occasions. Can they find a way back in this one? Or can San Andrew technical push it beyond reach and recovery? Here's Sterling. Has been a revelation in the middle of the park. Malachi Sterling. In fact, in their 14 encounters over the last decade, only once has JCC failed to score in 2018. Get a foul. Free kick in a dangerous position. Thierry Garrett there. His movement have definitely unsettled the San Andrew technical defense. J-Loats with there, with that lunge, took him out. Could be dangerous. You make this about what? Maybe it's on 23 yards out. Yeah. If you had out your measuring tape. Sterling with the left foot or Sears with the right. The angle could go for any, because it's pretty central. It is. I think it might be Sterling. It will be. It's over the top. Decided to go to the side where the wall was defending Sterling, had to open up his body. Difficult to somewhat generate the pace from there. But yeah, well over in the end. JCC would flat in terms of their attack. And you think teams like these, with so many goalscores, to only have two attempts on target in the entire 45 minutes, one each. It was really poor in terms of attacking play. Throw in there through Sterling. Lose possession though. Leon Brown doing well to turn. Here comes an under-technical. That's Atkinson. Gets it to Brown. Three defenders around him. He may find an outlet there. Here's John. And you spoke about the passing. Just look at passing from both these teams. Really poor, below standard. Giving away the ball needlessly. Not sure what John was trying to achieve on that occasion. And let's not count out the heat as well. It is extremely hot here at the National Stadium. Gale to Frankson. Frankson steps it forward. Salmon trying to get it across now. Atkinson with the ball at his feet. Gale over to Livingston. Livingston going to the line to get it across. Renton didn't get it cleanly, but they still managed to clear. And they stab it forward by J. Lloyd Smith. Able to play it out. Obviously much from this man as well. Dennis loves to get down on that right-hand side with lots of pace. Bosling kind of player. Takes on defenders, but we haven't seen any of those runs. As I said, it's been a placid attacking display from Jamaica College. And solid defense from St. Andrew Technical. Well, the fans love that one. Can Salmon deliver something well? Good defensive work from Jamaica College. And they come away now. Dennis trying to get it under his spell. Gets by Thompson. Releases the ball. And Thierry Garrick is almost through there. He saw the ever-present. Well, he was forced to play a little bit wide. Let's look at this piece of skill here. Atkinson through the legs. That was nice. How will the recipient? Caesar Salad didn't have the dressing to go with it, though. Surprising the call goes against St. Andrew Technical on that occasion from referee Robinson. Kyle Butler on hand as a team that he was a part of the coaching staff last season. We'll play against Heidel in the Mannequin final. We speak of Mona. And his father, coincidentally, is the technical director at Mona and the marketing juggernaut. Has coined Mona pride. Will it be the pride of Mona or the high flying? Soaring on the wings of excellence of Heidel. But back to this one, the Walkerka final. Jamaica College. Jaheem Williams easily handles that one. Good work from Atkinson. Still have the ball somehow. St. Andrew Technical, the counter-press of Jamaica College has been solid to regain possession. But here comes Kalanjee Watson. Showed just too much of that. Mills to Howard, Dylan John. Back to Mills. Dennis stripped of possession on that occasion. Frankson tries to release it, but to hear Lawrence on hand. And he goes all the way to Ronald Renton. Who doesn't mind having the ball at his feet. Though sometimes he has attracted some amount of pressure. Amy Ferguson to the left of your screen. Called to Watson, Fongleaf, Kingston College. Now an assistant at Jamaica College. 56 minutes of this encounter. Stats still leading Golden Hill. Jones is kicking on that occasion. It's really been emblematic of the afternoon that we've seen. Well, they're trying to keep it alive. Here's Jamaica College coming forward. Gets it across the Sterling, his first touch. It wasn't good and that one was even worse. But Norgan does well, gets it to Sterling. Almost getting the return ball. And the referee points to the spot. And there is home for Jamaica College. Malachi Sterling. The player to watch. Nice overlapping run. From Sterling, likes to drive forward. Fever's the left foot. Started the attack. And a nice one towards that. Dennis, he was playing it with it. Looked so instinctive fast from Dennis. Well waited. And yeah, committing early was good. And on this occasion, he didn't time that challenge well. An excellent one in the first half, which resulted in the fourth substitution of Jaden Johnson. On this occasion, I think he went to ground a little too early. Maybe he should have looked to use the body instead.  So he was looking to take an extra touch with the right, which would have given good a bit of time. Anyhow, Sears. The captain for Jamaica College versus Jaheem Williams. Can he come big? Save the penalty in the quarterfinals of the encounter against Mona. Can he do so again? Or will Sears convert? Sears converts. Yeah, just. Well, that certainly wasn't a cleanest try. Hesitated, trying to throw off Jaheem Williams. And he probably threw himself off. And luckily for him, it went onto the body of Williams. Just look at it here. And then he scoffed that so badly. Oh, Williams should have saved that. Yeah, really should have. Yeah, Williams' palms are in the wrong position. Just look at him. Palms too high. Instead of being along the groan, just look at his hands here. Instead of getting that right hand down, it was high and it went under his hands. Maybe the lack of pace almost helping Sears in the end. But it all works out in the end. They're all content. JC, as we said, who've always seemed to find a way, score again in this competition. Well, the competition is alive again. And Malakai Sterling being treated by the medical staff of Jamaica College. What will we see for the remaining 30 minutes plus any time that will be added on? Will there be a winner in normal time? What can we find for the rest of this encounter? Here's Garrick, Jay Lloyd Smith there, bringing him down, played through. And his first touch really let him down on that occasion. Yeah, the San Andro-Technical defense, they fell asleep on that occasion. Garrick, as he's done all afternoon, causing problems. Here's Sterling getting the return ball now. Has been influential, has Sterling. And yeah, designated the player to watch. And we're still watching him on the ball. Can this be broken up? No, it can't. Sears, back to Sterling. Kemmer Thompson did well to shield that one out, gets the throw in. So San Andro-Technical getting ready to make some substitutions, which for one, Dwayne Atkinson will leave the field of play. Next to be Agitai Marshall, number 10, will come on in his stead. Also leaving is Andre Salmon, number 11. And number 19, Jamal Bygrave. Tacking-minded changes being made. Good to see that the San Andro-Technical supporters did in great spirits, even though they just conceded. You can see the shadow of the grandstand now, taking over the field, more than half of it covered, which will cool down conditions quite a bit. We were seeing earlier that we thought the heat would certainly play its part, as well, as the game went on. Not only the legs, but just the concentration side of things. Down on the Sportsmax app today, getting on the Google Play or the App Lab Store. And watch so many different channels with sporting content to suit your own fancy. So he was there. Oh, yeah. Tennis for short, the WTA. Crickets, as well. Lots of cricket going on around the world. The league, as you can see, well, there's many different aspects to the football. There is high school football from Trinidad. There's the Premier League in Trinidad, as well. Jamaica Premier League, as you see. Yeah. Mona there, with Craig Butler and company. Coming up in the Manningcock final next against Heidel. It will be the first opportunity. Well, whoever wins that, it will be the first time they have that trophy in their cabinet. First trophy at the senior level. Heidel have been to a final before, couldn't get it done against St. George's. Mona, first time. And I've been around for some time. Actually, Heidel persons might be the same, but we did win the Walker Cup, which is true in 2018. The first year that the format was changed, just a year after JC won in 2017, the last time they won the title. So, yeah, Heidel, I guess you would say, do have a trophy at the senior level with the Walker Cup. But looking for their first Manningcock title, Mona haven't won any. History beckons for either of those two teams. Yeah. Now, this tenure under Craig Butler is the first time you can really say that Mona have managed to retain players and really build a system, even though Mona has produced talent over the years. They've always left to go to schools with much better academies, much better systems, much better opportunities. So, Craig Butler's arrival to the school has really helped them to go from strength to strength in terms of keeping their talent and then adding more. Lots of players in this team were there last season, some even there this season before. So, great to see. It's what, his third year in charge. Yeah. Livingston with the delivery, gets it in the area. Fully cleared. Gordon wasn't really able to connect. I was surprised there wasn't a whistle on the plate. It seemed like a very high foot from one of the Sintagio technical forwards. If this game does go to the penalty shootout, who do you fancy? Historically, Jamaica College, they've... Never lost one against that. Yeah. And let's just be said, we haven't seen the most impressive shootouts between these two teams either. But, JC, I've got the job done. Still, some minutes left to play. Here's Livingston, gets by one, gets the delivery across. No one was there in a yellow shirt. If you do remember last season's penalty shootout, it was a near bite when deep into sudden death in terms of penalty kicks. Jamaica College again winning, I think it was 8-7. This one is through for Stats. Trying to get through, trying to get the shot off. It's a deflection. Great skill. Yeah. Great skill there. Another Caesar salad coming in. And it's good to see that they're looking to express themselves a bit more, Sintangelo technical. This was one of the things that I thought was missing in their quarter-final set-up. One-on-one situation is not willing to take on defenders. They're doing a little bit more of that. And they're advancing their play more, I think. Here's the delivery once more. Let's go up, but set it over the top. Yeah, real opportunity there. And Gooden, as he's done all season, always a threat in the area from corner kicks. Already had three goals this season. That's Gooden, making that he didn't add a fourth. Here they come, Sintangelo technical, still alive. Livingston, as he often does, tries to go to the byline. Pleased it out of touch, as the apology afterwards, still in possession is Sintangelo technical. Here's the delivery from Frankson, who was a good one. He went straight to goal on that occasion. Still alive for them by Grape, trying to get the shot off. Still not cleared. Nikoi Gil gets it back to Livingston. He swings it in, and Jamaica College finally gets to boot it forward. And that wasn't a good first touch. And now, Jamaica College on the offensive. And Jay Lloyd Smith, he left nothing to the imagination there. Poor touch from Garrick. That too? Yeah, Dylan John picked it up well, created a space and freed him. He just didn't have a good relationship with the ball, did Garrick. Very unlike his first name, he was very good in those kind of runaway situations with his pace. That being the French theory. Clear down for Jamaica College, the goalkeeper around Renton. Referee heads over to that area just to ensure he's all right. To ensure that he gets the treatment he needs. It's a throwing for Sintangelo technical. 72nd minute of play. Sterling on the ball for Jamaica College. Loses possession. Push forward. There's a foot raise now. Had to be cleared by Jones. Dante Logan snaps it forward. Jay Lloyd Smith wasn't really aware where the ball was a while ago. Does get the call. They live to reorganize it. Let's see how they do now. Smith. Poor first touch from Marshall. Goes long again trying to get by graving the game. Smith has been rather aggressive in his play. False of the ground there. Barge into theory. Garrick. All the worse for it. We will get to talk into and has gotten a talk into from the referee. To freak for Jamaica College. Could be 30 yards out. Captain Sears. Goes to the goal. Saw the frame. Not a bad strike at all from Sears. It was definitely going to go on the on the side of the crossbar. And that crucial touch from Jaheem Williams. Saw it over. Sterling now with the corner kick. Gets it in the area. Another corner kick. Will go the way of Jamaica College. Three corners for Jamaica College. Only one for St Andrew technical. Sears standing behind this one. Gets it in the area. Marshall trying to clear but goes the way of Dennis. Play it down for Jamaica College. Looks to be Sterling. Rock would fall there. Such a versatile player Malachi Sterling. We've seen him at wing back. We've seen him play in a central defensive role. No playing central midfield. Talented player and basically responsible for earning. Jamaica College the penalty as well. Which got them all square. Attended Wolmas initially as you said earlier in. Schoolboy life Malachi Sterling. Before this season now with JC. Michael Gill. Pass there and foul. Committed by Marshall. Under a quarter of an hour left in this one. Chris Taylor. I don't think it's enough time. I just have a feeling this is going further. As seems to be the norm with these two. Jaheem Williams. Easily handles that one. Here's Dennis. Of course do remember if they are all square after 90 minutes. There's no extra time. So it's straight to penalties. Livingston gets it to Frankson. Dennis now can carry forward as well as Sterling for Jamaica College. Well read by Gooden. Livingston gets it in almost there. Livingston once more. And I'm sure even though Jamaica College have had a great record against stats in terms of penalty shooters, they'd love to win this in regulation time. I'm not a big fan of straight penalties, but it is what it is. I think with the amount of football the youngsters are playing, you know, it's a made decision not to necessarily extend it further. But I just think penalty shooters should always be a last resort because it's such a lottery. I always rather a bit of extra time, even if it is reduced. But none of that this year. More changes for Phillip Williams. Even the knee brace has the colors. Nowadays the style. So Kalanje Watson leaves for Delaney White or Delaney. They do say pronunciation varies. Kevin Hall replacing Leon Brown, the scorer. Kalanje exits stage left. Can they rise to the occasion without him? Livingston. Here's Logan. Dennis unable to get on the end of that one. And yeah, only 10 minutes left in a normal time. What's on his mind? Maybe, oh no, not another penalty shootout. What's on his mind? Perhaps my arms are tired. Has been waving all afternoon to him. Williams again requiring treatment. Was a part of the penalty shootout in goal for Senator technical last year. What's on his mind? Here's the sports back.  Wonderful delivery from Frankson.  Open the account on the afternoon. Beautiful play. In the fifth minute of the encounter. His 17th goal for the season. The sports back that moment brought to you by the sports back up. Has since been substituted. I learned this term from you. Bargy Bargy. Here's Jamaica College. Dylan John trying his trickery. Gets it across. Didn't get it under control. Though the attacking player for Jamaica College. Here's three Jones. It was Captain Sears lifts it. John gets it under his spell now. Call goes against Alex Xavier Gooden. Taking quickly. Dennis. Good words coming in from Gooden there. You could just hear him saying to Williams relax, relax, relax. In other words, no one attacking the back post. Don't force yourself to try and catch it and give away a corner. So that was impressive from the. Form under 17 captain national captain in Gooden. Jamaica College making a substitution. The 84th minute of the encounter. Jamoy Dennis. We had expected Taylor earlier. He's now going to be shown in the fans in the stands. Wanted to see Giovanni Taylor as well. As I said, he played in the under 16 semifinal yesterday. A winning encounter for Jamaica College. They are now into the final of that competition. We'll play Wolmers. Who made it to two junior football finals. The under 14 as well. Good signs for them in the years to come. Hopefully. If it was Wolmers. That's in Tanger technical beating the. Semifinals of the Walker Cup. 3-0 was the end result. Coach by Jerome Waite. Their senior team though does not. Not ready yet in terms of. Challenging for a Manning Cup title. Beating experienced young. But yeah, as you said the under 14 and under 16 teams doing well. So. Let's see. On the 14 team beat Kingston College 1-0 here. Comes to make a college. Was on the play there. And. And they beat a Kingston College team that had Kelvin Brown. Who actually played in the Manning Cup early in the season. Has one of the top goals. And had scored 37 goals at the under 14 level. They marked him out. And. As they should. The second time they're beating Kingston College Wolmers. And they're coached by a Kingston College old boy. Well, Taylor will be playing in that final. Of the under 16 and. You would love to find something. In a remaining moment here to save his team having to go to penalties. Jones down one of two players who came across from York Castle. And a part of the Mount Pleasant Academy. With other way of penalties. Is that. What we're destined to see. Well. We have just. About four minutes in normal time. The shot a couple of moments ago of Paul Steer. Experienced cameraman with phase three is actually a Sintanga technical old boy. Like he's concentrating a lot. In the stands. Not sure which way is going to go. I think most of his life he's been waiting to see. He starts to lift another trophy at the senior level. Williams boots it forward. Got a touch on the way out taken quickly by Hall. Still in possession. Laney White. His cross was poor. As Dylan John now going the other way for Jamaica College. Does a step over gets by one. Nicole Gale recovers well. Goes away at Frankson. Comes inside. Here's Delaney White. Kevin Hall now on the ball. Gale. And of course the lateral passes that you mentioned. Being deployed all over again. Until ultimately it was broken up. Here's Gale playing the advantage. The referee. Poor pass. And the advantage has been lost. Here's Taylor. Still running. To make a college happy to reset it at the back now. They throw it forward. Here's Sterling. John Mills. Not much time to find a winner for these two teams. It will be straight penalties. No extra time involved. Penalties something that both these two are very used to against each other. Four in the last few years. JC winning all. Six years and five seasons. John. Kevin by Frankson. Draws him down. A bit of cynicism. Not quite yet says Frankson. Could have seen a yellow card for that. Seven minutes of added time. He's snacking on something. Here he comes but ultimately goes outside. Defending by Smith. Will be a corner. JC certainly looking more lively in the dying stages. Dylan John coming alive, Sterling as well. Making his presence felt. There was the corner kick in the dangerous area. Not cleared yet. The shot off the upright. Oh what a moment for Jamaica College. Was Taylor wasn't it though? Or was it Sears? Probably was the captain you know, Renson Sears. It was. He was beaten. Who delivered by Sterling? I thought the header should have been better from Sears there. But he made up for it with this strike. A couple centimeters away. Here it was. And that was good technique you know. Difficult technique. But he executed well. Seen some of those acrobatic finishes. In the higher leagues overseas in recent times. Niels travels fast. Here they come again. Threaded through for Sterling. Flashing across the face of goal. John was a little bit late in terms of attacking the area. So I don't think Sterling would have picked him up in his wing mirrors. Taylor was also at the edge of the box. Can't blame him for going for goal there. Even though the angle was difficult. Although the substitute Giovanni Taylor is in good form. Scored in that 3-1 win against Calabar. In the under 16 semifinal we were talking about. And you wonder if these changes are strictly for penalties. At this stage. So two players coming on. Forced in under technical number 16 and number 3. Marvin Taylor and Damian Blackburn. We'll see how that pans out. I've never been a fan of just bringing on players to kick penalties. Especially at this stage where they haven't been able to. Warm into the game. And we've seen over the years especially at this level. Where that has resulted in major misses. And some notable ones as well. I must say Philip Williams and St. Andrew technical have a bad reputation when it comes to that. But anyhow. Throw and take in. Marshall to Hall. Space for Nikoi Gale. Good. Headed out by Senator technical once more. Logan. Puts it up field. Gale there. That's Marshall. Can't hear Marshall the troops. Did get a deflection. Should be a corner kick it is. Two minutes left of the 7. This down for Jamaica College gets this. Now. That's spectators. Getting focused. This is their chance. Can it be a magical moment? Can it be an uppercut? Left it in the area. Hand of the ball. Back post and Jamaica College. Making a change. Goalkeeper going down. To give an opportunity for. His opposite number. Jason Charles to enter the field of play. Other changes being made as well. And obviously Jamaica College. Really don't mind the penalty kicks. Quite a few changes being made as well. So obviously these are for penalties. We will know these names for sure. That's number three. Zinedine McLean. Yeah McLean coming on and so too is Barrett. Ronaldo. Two penalty shootouts last season. One in the Champions Cup semifinals. One in the Manning Cup final. Eight seven in the Manning Cup final. That one was actually a pretty good shootout. Good quality kicks. Went into sudden death. And five four was the Champions Cup. In the semifinal win for JC. Two out of three matches they played last season. Went the distance. JC won five four penalties in 2019. In the final as well. And in the final of 2017. Five four as well. Can stats finally break the jinx. We're in time out at the time. Jamaica College having a free kick. In good territory for delivery. They really need a blaster from that distance. To the Jaheem Williams. I think this will be a delivery. To the penalty spot. It should probably make more sense. And allow all players to attack it. I'm surprised they haven't committed more forward. This is the last chance. It was flicked on. And the Tyrone Robinson has seen enough. Of this. Walker Cop final. Jamaica College Anderson Andrew technical. In a familiar story. A tie at the end of regulation time. And it will be decided by the dreaded penalty kicks. The lottery's out. Who will win the jackpot. Confirmation of the full-time score. San Andrew technical won. Jamaica College won. Full-time highlights now. Things got going early for San Andrew technical. Born lifted. By Frankson. Leon Brown headed it down. His 17th of the season. And once more look on the delivery. From Rashawn Frankson. And he was unmarked. Leon Brown. Made no mistake of it. Brenton was beaten there in the fifth minute. And there was rejoicing. The second half now. The game change in the favor. Offer Jamaica College. Malachi Sterling being the man who was doing the darting run. Brought down by Gooden. And the captain. Didn't have the most convincing of kicks. But it went in. And that's all that matters. Had a stone to throw. This one rattled the crossbar. After. Jaheem Williams got a tip to it. Now was from the captain as well. And also this one. Again in the midst of all the melee there. Sayers getting the acrobatic attempt off. Coming across the coming. Against the upright. And Jaheem Williams able to play it out. And that's all she wrote. For 90 minutes. Full-time match statistics. Senaja Technical. One shot on target from eight attempts. JC had five from 13 attempts. Nine falls committed by Senaja Technical. Five by Jamaica College. No yellow cards. No red cards. Two offsides for stats one for JC. They had the majority of the corners. Four to stats one. Jaheem Williams had to make four saves. And Jamaica College having the majority of the possession. 57%. But it's still level. After 90 minutes. The penalty shootout. Comes up next. Another penalty shootout. To separate Senaja Technical and Jamaica College. In other instances it was for the Manning Cup final. And for the Champions Cup. Semi-final last season. The fifth time. They will be separated. Via the penalty shootout. What do we have here? What do we have on our hands? Jaheem Williams. Part of the returning cast. Dante Logan. Coming forward for Jamaica College. The first kicker. For them on the afternoon. Tension. Drama. Nerves. The Logan's moment. Can this be Williams' moment? Logan. Gets it in. Good kick by Logan. Right smile from Jaheem Williams. He's good in penalties as well, Williams. But he went a bit early. Not sure he was on the line either. Was it a slight touch as well? I think there was, you know. But enough on it from Logan. Jason Charles. Came on in the dying moments of this encounter. Yeah, the first of the many substitutes. So, let's see. Marvin Taylor also came on late in this contest. Can he convert from 12 yards? Taylor versus Charles. That was a good penalty. Show us the wrong way. Both keepers going the wrong way. For the first kicks. This composure well did Taylor. Good penalty. Jaheem Williams. Against the captain. Score. Round two. Round two. This battle. There's one. The first. Can he win again? Yes, he does. Well taken from the Vincentian. This time, Williams no smile. Games going on, of course. Hesitation. And just throws the keeper. That was an excellent penalty. Into the far triangle. Even if he had gone the right way, Williams, you wouldn't have saved that. I guess he did lead the right way, but no chance. Clinical from the skipper. Nikoi Gale. You always want to kick first because you can then see what is happening. Whether you miss, you get a chance to then make the save. You get a lead. You put the pressure on the kicker, on the following kicker. Charles versus Gale. It's a standoff. Like a western movie. Can Gale fire? He does. That was a good penalty. Gets the monkey off his back. He was a part of the penalty shootout last year in the Manicup final. Did Nikoi Gale defensive midfielder? He's been generally good from the spot. On a few occasions, he's been called upon. All square. Dylan John comes forward now for two boots and all. Highlight player for JC this season. Probably their player of the season. Dylan John. Can he bring glory? Cheeky. Oh wow. But if that wasn't confident, I don't know what is. That was a really confident kick from Dylan John. Almost turned his body around. And we've seen players so many times miss from those kind of situation and then he just slotted it. Play the eye game with Jaheem Williams and he won the battle. They have a swag about them. Jamaica College. Delaney White. Can he convert? But not so late. Not so late. He would have warmed into the game nicely. Right now the breeze would probably feel cold though. Jason Charles trying to give the optical illusion that there's much space. So, has a second go as well. Again, the keeper goes the wrong way. Well, this change hasn't worked for JC so far. Taking out, putting in Charles. Went to early, chose the wrong way. Actually, that was David Blackburn. The numbers are so close to three and the eight. And Blackburn was one of those ladies. She came on with Taylor. So, so far it's paid dividends for Phillip Williams. Let's see if he can deliver from 12 yards. Jaheem Williams continues to step as cool as you like. And he walks away. Confident with the left foot. Lawrence stood to step as well and the hesitation. Well, look at Jaheem Williams. He wasn't on the line for sure by the time the kick was taken. So, had that missed, he would have been called back. Have to have one foot on the line. At least four or three, is it? It is Delaney White now. Did he hear me and will he oblige? Yes, he will. Good kick from White. Lots of pace behind it. Again, Charles goes the wrong way. Four-four. The choice in for Senator Technical at the moment. They're still in it. Perfect scorecard. Thus far, Jabari Howell steps forward for Jamaica College. Howell. Tension mounts now. The report card has been spoiled. And can Senator Technical be the teachers? Rejected by the crossbar, Kristela. Yeah, the keeper went the wrong way. Well, he couldn't get it two inches lower. What a moment. Just lifting leaning back at the last moment. And you score your win, Senator Technical. Charles hasn't gone the right way so far, hasn't been able to come up with a save. Captain Livingston who can win it. Their first seen a title since 1987. Richard Livingston, can he give the final blow? Livingston, a save! And happening. Jason Charles finally gets one right. And what a moment to get it ringwish on the face of Richard Livingston. Jamaica College lift the fight again. And Livingston didn't look up at the keeper at all. If he did, he would have seen that Charles went early. Charles was already leaning to the left hand side. And Livingston who scored a penalty for stats in the earlier rounds can't convert today. In the semi-final, in fact, that penalty that he scored. Wow. The pressure of the moment too much. And JC live again as they have so many times in their history. Malachi Sterling now won the penalty. Converts his advantage. Jamaica College. Arguably the best play on the park today. Malachi Sterling. Love how he has put his game together Sterling and never know any doubt on his face that he was going to convert. Can Charles make it two in two in terms of the save? It's 6-5. We're in sudden death. Alex Xavier Gooden. Can he keep Sanandro technical in it? Oh. There was venom behind that one. I'm surprised that he kicked so late. Alex Xavier Gooden. He's kicked in all of the penalty shootouts they have had. And he's a solid kicker. Look at that. That was a great in-step strike. Straight down the middle. And even if Charles had stood his ground he would have been in problems there. Five all. So now we're well we've gotten into the kickers who have not been preferred. Yeah. Ronaldo Barrett came on four penalties I'm sure. But clearly not. Let's see. Again Williams just needs to hold his ground a little longer Williams. He's going way too early. The penalty that was missed it. But he went the wrong way as well. He is jumping way too early. Look at this. He's off to the races. The Jamaica College players just holding their kick and waiting for him. Anyhow. Still have to finish it. Agitai Marshall. Can he deliver? Can he keep them alive? There's been so much drama. Marshall hasn't been a bad penalty shootout at all. Yeah. Nice kick from Marshall. Again. Charles going the wrong way but didn't didn't actually go early. It was just a really good penalty. Probably was actually leaning the right shoulder even though he didn't dive. Wrong foot in the keeper and Marshall did well. Phillip Williams. What's on his mind? Has got these knuckle competitions right at the senior level with Portmore United but hasn't quite been able to get it done here at the school boy level. Jamaica College. Saved! There is yet hope for stats and the referee not here in the entreaty of Zinedine McLean who thought is the argument that the keeper was off his line. Well, the assistant referee is right there. He's been sent away McLean still pleading. The referee has been called the fourth official. Has something to say. I think he's on the line. His foot is on the line. No problems there. I think so. No problems there. Oh, no, no, no. I think the officials are saying that the ball was moving. So it's not a case of the keeper not being on the line. But if the ball was moving that's a mistake from Jamaica College. He missed the penalty. What could he have done to the ball? What could he have done to the ball? What could he have done to the ball? He missed. He missed. It was moving. It was moving at first. It was moving to be honest. But on the spot moving it's a fault of the kicker. Why should Zinedine technical suffer? definitely Jaheem Williams was on the line his left foot was on the line and the area has been affected no wonder the ball well what do we have here McLean gets another bite of the cherry he does well the second time of asking Jaheem Williams remonstrating I think really stats have been hard done by here I would need to dig deeper in the rules but considering that the kicker is the one who places the ball had the kicker scored I could agree with them saying no this needs to be taken over because the ball was moving but he missed and the goalkeeper had done everything right why should he pay the price Kevin Hall for stats blast it over disaster for San Andro technical once more joy for JC they're rejoicing story continues for San Andro technical do you console them after this after they were almost sure that they could have won it motivate them how do you keep them in the game what a dramatic end it's been a mystery it has been a mystery he's enraged the old familiar story is still there they're enraged and I think rightfully so shell shock for San Andro technical and the old story goes the way of Jamaica College once more they did what they needed to do from the penalty spot Jamaica College win 76 on penalties it's a walk-up 2023 wow wow wow wow wow here's a replay Logan started things off for Jamaica College Marvin Taylor was as good that's where change Jamari how else smashed in the crossbar they thought they had it then did stats but Livingston the captain was beaten by Jason Charles it was a save initially but it was called back by the fourth official the second attempt he was able to deliver Zinedine McLean Kevin Hall blasted it over and the true blues once more beating San Andro technical from 12 yards the discussions will continue for quite a while Philip Williams was a visibly distraught angry enraged well we have to have a look again at the laws of the game and one law does state clearly the ball must be stationary law 14 point one the ball must be stationary on the penalty mark and the goal post crossbar goal net must not be moving we go now to the MVP of this encounter Kimani and Janae they're standing by somewhere with him thank you Dean I'm joined by head of business marketing at digital Kimberly Campbell she's presenting the man of the match award to Malachi sterling of Jamaica College Malachi let me have a quick talk with you you won on penalties how good does it feel to be walk-up champion well it's a good feeling to be the walk-up champion this is also my last season so

When it happened na nidusahidezi. Biyan, why did I need help? I didn't need help. No, biyan, when the lady came you did not move. Well I don't know how you guys are watching that video. First of all I just want to start by saying that Chiki is my manager. Okay, she's my manager, she's the manager of my music affairs. And for that reason, before I go on stage, I need to be in a frame of mind that is, you know, unbothered and deterred. Ha kufai kuna distractions, apu evo karibu nafatu kuwen na nini deliver meseji ya kukuwa watu wini na fa.  Timing, so the activity was right but timing was off. O dem ni fan. What's up everybody, welcome to SPM Buzz. My name is Liz Jackson and today I'm hanging out to the bald man himself, Biyan. I wish nige kuwana mafumba. Hey, what's up man, I'm Baryzenu at SPM Buzz, happy new year, happy new year to the Magi Pia. All love man, this is what I make it. Kufiti? Kabi saa niku pona yo. Niku pona? Niku pona. Saan titu nge takaku, when was the last time you cut your hair? Nyole hangu. Nika me ule Xavier or X-men, I may hangi because of wisdom. Amu shave once in a while. Mataimu wuji shave, mataimu babaongu wana come through. Inli shave jana. And do you feel like it's low maintenance? Extremely low maintenance man, like this is the best hairstyle I've ever had in my life. And trust me but they have had hairstyles, I know you guys don't believe me but. Shek wana dredi.

So I want us. Eh, when is Baba 8? So what I want us to talk about in this interview basically is Bien himself. Bien as an artist, Bien focusing on his craft in 2023. What can you say is your main focus? Well, you know, like I haven't put out my album yet. I've been promising the fans my album Manusawa Itoples. Was a long time. And then every time I record the album. I travel, I listen to new sounds, I get new inspiration.  Cancel. So this year. Nili kwa nimi takaku release. Lakin ni kenda gana December. Ni kenda gana. Nika record song zingini moto. Nika fanya makulabu zingini. Amazing. I laugh piano in the London. Kesho. For six weeks. Nimeji promise that London will be the end of me record this album. Like when I finish, when I come back from London. I'm coming back with a finished product. So for those of us who are hearing about Chichua for the first time. Could you tell us when you end up in Kiyaku Amun? Are you going south? Well, as easy. This time as Bien. Because like there's a couple producers I met when I was in Ghana. Who are based in London. And I just want to go there and fuse myself with the culture. I've been promising myself this trip for a long time. And I just think it's important that this year I, you know. Spread my wings and fly. Like go out there. See what the world has to give over for me. As well. I'm excited about the trip. And there's no day I've ever put myself to work. And go and come back empty handed. All of my trips in my career. Where I've gone out there looking for a different sound. A different vibe. They've always been successful. In fact, more successful than I think. Ever imagined. Do you feel the alone together in Sautisola has given you the chance to explore Bien himself? Yeah, definitely. You know. Sayi anu kiyangalitu vizuri Bien kama nimsanim new. Me ni new artist. Dokarei ime anza. Na. Imi kwa so rewarding emotionally. Imi kwa rewarding kwangupia mentally. Na in a way that sikuwa ini mawe explore posibili tia mi kupua asolo entity. Na. It's just that time for me to be able to see myself in that light because I think it makes me a better member even of the group once I know myself and all of my, without having any inhibitions, you know. Yeah. Let's talk about London. Are you solely going to record ama kuna place uta kuna perform? A kuna place kuna perform this time. Na na tu kufanya press ku record singoliangu next ina toka on the 17th of April of February. My next single is coming out in the 17th of February and I want to promote it in London because I think right now my horizons are global and I want that to be the place where I start doing the promotion. I'm talking about fresh stats. I've seen you've delisted posts on Instagram. Zime baki sita. Nimetu anisa fishi rada. My Instagram has just been such a trash. Trash can of memes pictures and just moments of my life that I think are important, but I just think it's nice to start afresh right now because this is a new year, it's a new dispensation and this yuokini angalia vizuri ata sipeganitimavideza kina rikomondis juini nimi nimi so chip fights nimi acha and I focus on kareya yami yamziki. I want to do kana. Na ta kaligraf jana na na tu kana but see respond and I focus on mambu mba in a letter So yuokini kusimbolize a new beginning. Let's talk about my baby that may post could you expound on that? So interview not okwen? Interview as soon as today? I can't talk about it but it's easy but my baby is a collaboration between me and a very prolific artist. I'll let you guys guess she's Nigerian and it's a duet and I just can't say who it is so please follow me on socials subscribe to my YouTube channel nimi yamza say 1 million nimi yamza kujenga hengine nini yamza kujenga yangu nimi song nili record last year na nimi li malizi anikiwa gana na omsa ni nia tari maze jai hata na filtriani to a new level I can feel the level Talking about pro atisokuna profile kubua I did interview fire boy last year and he said that there was plans to have a song with you or rather so because he mentioned that the Guinness campaign brought you together plans mefikawapi I don't know the Guinness campaign brought us together fire boy 2 years old we've just never been in the same space together there's some artists who don't want to send files there's some artists who send you a song and then you record and send the song back and all that stuff I don't mind that but I prefer to be in the studio with the artist nami sa ni kama fire boy nami nimi ni meti neza prefatu nikiwa studio na fire boy it's pure flames to make on ICO project because we were sending each other music and it just wasn't right it didn't feel right and I didn't want to put out a collab just to say kwa justice to any of us so inaka maze kila msi ako busy kwa ke so if the stars align we'll make magic let's talk about banaboy kido got an opportunity to meet him what can you say is that one lesson you've picked from banaboy banaboy has no one lesson to teach anyone he's a whole study of just how to carry yourself how to believe in yourself how to put in the work banaboy is hard work banaboy is incredible writing banaboy is family as well when you see how he's managed he's managed by his mom and his sisters and he teaches us the importance of all of those things and originality being ingrained in your africaness na struggling isangama sa niwa Kenya kwa level za culture because we're not culturally rooted in our expression when it shows in our art some people are I'm not saying all of us guys but I'm saying if you're trying to score or to scale international global heights tapping into your culture makes you unique and I feel like banaboy is as authentic as they come he's a unique artist as well I don't know whether you know how big you are but this is a chat of top african songs 100 you had two of them how did that make you I know I've been doing this all my life but for me I never ever made music to be a big artist it's never been okay those things will come but I do music to express myself and in my expression then the accolades will come my songs are gonna be in the top 100 and that's a blessing in itself I'm not downplaying the blessing but it's not why I do the music I'm happy the music is there Biyan let's talk about song writing you have a very strong power of your pen so when Biyan is writing music what do you write experiences things about your friends what inspires you writing when I'm writing music I write about people because most of the times maybe I haven't gone through the situation that I'm singing about but I like to write about people I write about people who are around me I borrow the isms of like pop culture when I came home when I was young when I was in a channel when I was in a culture icon I've said this before so it's always just writing about what I'm grounding and what I'm exposed to and that's why I also think it's important that I travel because the more that I see the world I'm able to show the world like the fans my worldview through my lens and they can understand where I'm coming from and where I'm going but when I'm writing it's important to have a room and say come away because I'm sharpens I am but when I'm singing when I'm singing when I'm singing when I'm singing when I'm singing since covid social media has been very big especially tiktok, instagram do you feel right now it's easier to put your song out there because of social media there are gatekeepers they say that when you are singing kiss always you make the power is in your hands but you have to do the work it's still hard work in fact it's harder than it was before because for you to get yourself in a position where you rise above everyone else it's going to take a lot of hard work but it's not impossible to do so happy when I look at what someone like brandy minor has been able to achieve last year alone I don't think these female artists worked harder than brandy and watching her growth seeing her getting all these shows seeing her getting all these hits based on just her dancing every day on her instagram putting out freestyles just doing the work it's inspiring to watch I mean look at vijana barubaru I've been watching vijana barubaru before they were hits but they're going to go far and this year I'm just hearing their music on rotation everywhere I go so you have to do the work it's not going to do itself and there's no severe complex somebody who's going to come and change your life and discover you and then you blow up even the big major record labels they don't want to start with an artist post it on instagram they want to find somebody who's already working so they amplify your success let's talk about drop out it was a freestyle that you did with your guitar do you feel your career started when you were in apahil in your fortunate enough to find a group of friends who you went the musical way do you feel if that didn't happen your life would have turned out differently being in school has defined my life so much meeting Savara and Chimano in apahil is my entire life so I will never discredit what school can do for you and who you can meet when you're in school because a lot of the life long friends I have are people who I met in high school are people who I met in uni my business partners in Manhattan are people who I met in university a lot of positive things that it's done for my life but when I sing the song my job as a musician is not to sing music that makes you happy it's about singing the reality in reality when I was in school when I was in school when I was in school when I was in school the end justifies the means when I was in school when I was in school when I was in school when I was in school when I was in school when I was in school there's no bad way to make money you do you at the end of the day you're the only one who can bail yourself out of the situation you're in so the song is a tribute to everyone who maybe was made to feel some type of way because they weren't ace students and to make them understand that it's a whole different bulgim when you're out here and for the ones who got ace good on you guys create build and something interesting I didn't know that you went to uni bian me ni menda university ni me summa journalism nesa kujapo espi mbazmi wachise kazi ni watu mnashizana mimi bide nashizana kia mbiki dusku mojanda I studied journalism which uni yen mi ni babin nili kwa usayu nili kwa usayu ma leksha rangu na watuwangu paka leo kina robiko ki shout out profesor oranga shout out watuwangu karibu I studied journalism I knew I was never going to practice because even when I was in school I already had a career I released Lazizi when I was in first year so I actually and music paid for my education so I took education very seriously by them I took education extremely seriously nimeji lipia kampu yote na pesa amziki nili study journalism nili study print lakini skufanya broadcast because history utangazaji nili mimi camera edit ni ni na mi ni mundishim deadly so I studied print oh that's nice so I want to know when you're releasing music do you have a timetable where you say no I'm going to release music every six months or it just happens I think the aim is to be prepared and be consistent sometimes you have a plan and then just things happen it's always nice to have a plan but also it's nice to be fluid and know that your plan might not work all the time or some opportunities may come that are overshadowing your plan so make up with all me pangakutua song kill a month lakini ilesongu metua januari inandakushika moto march sunona so let's not be any agile enough to change planiako but have a plan make a plan work the plan do you feel most of the songs that you write are timeless like this is a song I can relate up until now watcha nabuzaliwa 204 that's always been the goal I did it subconsciously for a long time but now I'm more conscious about it to write music that's timeless because I realize at the end of the day I have to sing these songs when I'm old until I'm old I always have to sing these songs so I have to make music that's timeless and I have to make music that I love so that's it man do you ever have creativity blocks yeah currently I'm going through one so I can go to a writer's block crazy but I can go to mangzati because I travel, I can go to a juice, I can go to London each of it is what I need as a writer's block major and who do you reach out to when you feel like you have an idea but you want to make it more better I just smoke a j I die I die who do I reach out to I have such a beautiful support system around me I hang out with artists all the time and even without me reaching out to them they nourish me like nikienda studio niskeso ngumpia msani already nga kweyo vaibya kuandika nikienda YouTube niskeso ngumpia msani nga yadukweyo vaibya kuandika always so I don't know man a writer's block is only unclogged by you exposing yourself to art and hanging out with artists sometimes I'm on fire and I'm writing four songs a day sometimes I don't even write one line sometimes I just have a mediocre day and I write one bad song so it's just it's about being consistent and for the song did you talk to Stivos that you can use this line I don't know there's no reason okay first of all it's not against the law because Stivo hasn't patented the line in Auma so I just used it and in me using it though I think he benefits as well and I've never met Stivo simple boy but I love him man he's a cool dude I love his antiques everything he's doing online I think Stivo is just chasing the bag and I always say it's hard work being Stivo simple boy it's very hard work so respect the guy so as you said 2023 man Zampia is that the end of the calligraph beef they recommend beef when you're beefing with local artists they're always going to beef with you but you know me in this market I'm international I've always been international and so for that reason Ile maembe may even do rushiwa mawe come here maembe jeiva ita rushiwa mawe na andoruna Eric Omondi for the sake of his relevance because you know Eric is his career is on his deathbed so Eric is always going to talk trash just to try and get attention from different spheres and then calligraph me upcoming artist so as calligraph on the karma razi ma two are lach on to to me mingyo nimi bringju nimi fanya makolabu na yai yai yai but he's ungrateful he's always just going to be talking shit online and when I meet calligraph actually he doesn't have the balls to say that shit to me in my face you know what I'm saying but I just want to thank god that I'm going to London from London I'm going to be going to the states imo kasi ko area mi kariya has elevated me from that space of toxic guys who are consistently talking trash and I'm just grateful for that man I interviewed him last week and he said that his dogs have been instructed when they see you they attack do you feel like your life is in danger I just don't think a dog can instruct other dogs but um no it's not in danger let's not talk about Eric you're giving him too much cloud man this guy you know he needs the cloud because of the content of the dog but I don't know what's going on he doesn't know what's going on he doesn't know what's going on he's just a local artist I don't know what's going on what's going on there was a show and you were just preparing to get on stage and you know there was a woman who came behind you and your wife came into the picture but you didn't notice what was going on when it happened why did I need help when the lady came you did not move well um I don't know how you guys are watching that video first of all I just want to start by saying Chiki is my manager she's my manager she's the manager of my music affairs and for that reason before I go on stage I need to be in a frame of mind that is unbothered and deterred I hope I can have distractions up with wokaribu and if I get a message I want to be in a fair so I want them to be at that time timing is off so the activity was there was right but timing was off I want them to be fun I always check him and say how fans behave so let them be fun is just the timing was off I actually don't think if that Chiki came into action me and Chiki was just there and there was no other there was no activity I meant to be doing going on stage I don't think Chiki would have told her to leave I am not sure if Chiki will come to work I don't know if she will come I am going to strip club with Chiki to not be in a love and see what she will be and to not end at home we are cool like that so Chiki did her job Chiki did her job very well. I want to give you a scenario. Who's your favorite artist? Give me an artist. Not even your favorite, just give me an artist. Otile bra. Otile nanda kupanda stage kuimba. Banda isha handa kupiga paka. Banda ina piga intro. Ademana kuja nanda kutua kia otile. You see time ya kutua kia otile? Otile nanda piga show. So yo ina stage nili kuwa pwevo. Na chiki ali handul vi poa. Na hata mini li handul vi poa ama. Desi ku enjoy sana nili. Nili smile tu li kakalene kwa na oh. Kuna mituwa panyu mangu kesawa nili kasonga mbele. Ehh. So zi muli kwa mataka nifanya nini on time? Abia nuli kasana before suonga. But anyway. Ehh. Muli kwa mataka ni toki immediately. Nipushu o dema wei vigorously. Awa suonga bie. Mituwa twa kubado. When the timing is right. Timing iki wa poa. Read the room. Alright guys. That was Bia. I hope you enjoyed this interview. Make sure you check out his socials. For what plans he has for us in 2023. Thank you so much for making time for us. Thank you so much SBM Bars for having my back always. Big shout out to you guys. And this year I pray that you guys only grow.


Welcome back. Today we're going to take a deeper look into the microcytic anemias. First and foremost, as we have discussed, microcytic anemias have a mean corpuscular volume, or MCV, that is less than 80 femtiliters. As a side note, a femtiliter is the same as a cubic micrometer. The first microcytic anemia we will discuss today is iron deficiency anemia. As you can see in this photo, to the right, the iron deficiency anemia has a red blood cell with central pallor due to the decrease in iron and in the decrease in the volume of the red blood cell. We will also discuss alpha thalassemias, beta thalassemias, lead poisoning, and citroblastic anemia, which are all microcytic anemias. So let's start with iron deficiency anemia. Iron deficiency anemia can be caused by two different types of problems. It can be to a decreased amount of iron in the body, which is often seen with four different types of ideologies. The first being chronic bleeding, chronic bleeding from the gut, from anywhere on the body. Chronic bleeding is different than acute bleeding. With acute bleeding, you will not see a decrease in the iron in the body. You have a total decrease in the volume of the blood, and it is a short term problem. When you have chronic bleeding over a long period of time, that's when you see issues with a decrease in iron in the body. You can also be due to malnutrition. Malnutrition is mitigated actually in the western world, often by fortifying flour with iron. So in our breads and other cooking products, we have iron in our diet that will help decrease the risk of an iron deficiency anemia. There are also some absorption disorders that can cause an iron deficiency anemia, namely irritable bowel disease, as well as celiac. A history of surgery specifically on the bowels, bowel resection can cause a decreased iron in an iron deficiency anemia. The second disorder that can cause an iron deficiency anemia is due to an increase in demand. This is often seen in pregnancy. In pregnancy, there is an increased demand for iron as the increase in blood volume in blood cells occurs. But if there is not an increase in iron in the diet or in vitamins, then there will be a decrease in the iron in each blood cell. So let's look and see what labs will show in an iron deficiency anemia. So the total body iron stores will obviously be down. It's an iron deficient anemia. The total iron binding capacity of the blood is going to be increased. You have less transferatin that is bound to iron. Therefore, there is more binding sites for iron increasing the TIBC. Ferritin is decreased. Your red cell distribution width is going to be increased because the body is producing more red blood cells at a faster rate and they're not maturing. And your reticulocyte index will be decreased. Moving on, the symptoms for iron deficiency anemia include fatigue, conjunctival pallor, that is the skin around the eyes, will be pale. Pica is a craving or a compulsive eating of certain foods or non-food items. We often discuss this with psychiatric disorders. Coiloneica, this is a spooning of the nails and the nail beds as you can see here with this gentleman. The nails have a spoon shape to them at the end there. And we also see glossitis. Glossitis is a bald or shiny appearance of the tongue that has a loss of color. Iron deficiency anemia is also seen along with a triad of symptoms in plumber-vinson syndrome. So in plumber-vinsins you get iron deficiency anemia, esophageal webs, and dysphagia. This is a very rare syndrome, but the USM only does love these type of questions because they are very specific. So be very aware of the plumber-vinsins syndrome triad.
