STATHS look to maintain lead

Kwesi Mugisa, Staff Reporter

St Andrew Technical High School (STATHS) will look to keep their nose ahead of a rapidly closing Kingston College (KC) when they host Edith Dalton James in a tightly contested group F of the ISSA/Pepsi/Digicel Manning Cup today, starting at 3:30 p.m.

STATHS (16 points) the only team yet to lose a game in the group, lead KC by one point, having beaten the North Street team earlier this season.

However, STATHS' surprising 1-1 draw with Penwood last week has seen KC narrow the gap and could go to the top of the group with a win over a struggling Kingston High today.

Wolmer's (14) will also be looking to hang on to their place at the top of the table in Group C when they travel to Mona. Jamaica College, who are on 14 points, who are tied with Wolmer's but a goal behind in the goal difference column, will travel to Denham Town. Both Wolmer's and JC had huge wins over their opponents when the teams met in the first-leg games.

In group D, an unbeaten Bridgeport, on 16 points, will also look to hold on to pole position when they host St Jago. Behind their St Catherine counterparts by two points, Eltham will look to stay in touching distance when they host Cumberland. In the group's other game, third-place Jos? Marti (8) will tackle Innswood.
