The eloquent performance may have been three days late for some, but for Kingston College’s (KC) coaching staff, fans and players, it came just in time.

At a time when the North Street-based team would still be reeling from their disappointing Manning Cup exit on Wednesday, they have found some consolation to end their season when they etched their names on the coveted ISSA/FLOW Super Cup showpiece.

The ‘Purples’ turned in a dominant display to roll over St Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS) 3-0 in a lopsided finale at Sabina Park to prolong the Corporate Area reign in the lucrative competition for a fourth-consecutive year.

In a time when his team needed him most, with this their final shot at a title, the prolific Rashawn Mackison confirmed his status when he netted a fine treble in the seventh, 44th and 82nd minutes to steer the crystal and $1 million in the direction of North Street.

Mackison ended the competition with six goals, which earned him the KFC Big Deal Golden Boot.

The win by KC saw them joining Jamaica College, St George’s College and Wolmer’s Boys as the urban area top guns to have grasped the lucrative title, while the hopes of STETHS and their rural area counterparts have been shelved for another year.

Both teams took their time in feeling out each other in the early exchanges, after a half-hour delay threatened to dampen the anticipation surrounding the showdown.

But one could almost sense that it would not be long before KC opened up into their usual flow and bring the contest to life, and they looked dangerous through Mackison, who went down inside the area in the fifth minute.

His appeal for a penalty was ignored by referee Kevin Morrison, who then instructed the player to get up.

The lanky striker duly obliged, gently brushed himself off, and returned two minutes later to put his team in front.

With a show of sheer determination, Mackison bore down on a defender, who desperately tried to shield the ball and, at the very last minute, found the crucial touch to poke the ball past the hapless Kenroy Wallace.

STETHS continued to show little life in attack through Demar James, who was allowed some amount of space inside the KC area, but put his effort straight at custodian Chadeen Rodriques.

However, that was the best chance the Santa Cruz-based team would have in the half, as all their other efforts were nothing but speculative, at best, from some distance out.

KC asserted their authority throughout and wreaked havoc on the STETHS backline so much so that even right-back Trey Bennett found time to get a good look at goal, and it took the recovering defenders to charge his shot down.

Mackison and Renato Campbell linked up well in the attacking third and the former was sent on his way to unleash a stinging right-footed drive which was parried by Wallace in the 39th minute.

It was the reverse four minutes later with Mackison, this time laying off a cheeky pass for Campbell, who hurried his shot over the cross bar from the top of the box.

KC eventually doubled their lead a minute from the whistle when Mackison finished off a delightful build-up, which started from the back by Omar Thompson and involved Campbell and Anthoniel Mullings, who provided the final cross.

Having to make up a two-goal deficit, STETHS came out more purposeful on the resumption as they briefly camped out in KC’s quarters and seemed poised to pull off another comeback like they did in the semi-finals.

But once KC broke free, it became a question of how many more they would add to their tally.

It turned out to be just one in the latter stages of the contest as poor decision-making had earlier thwarted their efforts.

The goal came eight minutes from time when Mackison was left unmarked in the area and easily tapped home from substitute Trayvone Reid’s free kick, which was cleverly played along the ground.
