Early impressionists\nManning\u2019s are among eight schools gunning for three straight wins tomorrow\n(Saturday, Sept 14) in the ISSA\/WATA da\u2019Costa Cup Schoolboy Football\nCompetition.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Impressive to date, Manning\u2019s early pacesetters in Zone \u2018D\u2019,\nare expected to face their first real test when they come face-to-face with\nPetersfield at the school grounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Manning\u2019s sit atop the standings with a perfect 6 points\nfrom two games, while Petersfield have garnered just one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Munro College, who failed to advance from the first round\nlast year, Manchester, Mile Gully, Oracabessa, Annotto Bay, Seaforth and Paul\nBogle are the other teams down to hunt a third straight victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, the 11-times champions Rusea\u2019s will be aiming to\njoin Frome Technical as leaders of Zone \u2018B\u2019 when they challenge Hopewell High\nin the local derby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The \u2018Russians\u2019 have won their sole game played and three\npoints would see them joining Frome Tech on 6 from two games. Hopewell too can\nclaim second spot should they manage to snag a win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It will be the clash of the winless two when Green Island\nand Merlene Ottey battle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Merelene Ottey has been winless in five games dating back to\nlast season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Zone \u2018C\u2019,  early\nleaders Herbert Morrison Technical High go in search of back-to-back wins in a\nhope to maintain the lead when they line-up against William Knibb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Compre\u2019 scored their first win in midweek and will be after\na second, which would move them to seven points. Cedric Titus, yet to tick off\na win, play at home to Spot Valley, who will also be searching for their second\nwin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lead could change hands over in Zone \u2018A\u2019, where leaders\nGreen Pond High and Cornwall College, last year\u2019s beaten finalists, will both\nbe at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cornwall are set to be involved in a second successive city\nderby when they face off with bitter rivals St. James High, oozing confidence\nafter returning to winning ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victory would lift CC to seven points, while a win for St.\nJames High could see them kick-starting their campaign and move to six points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Pond, on the other hand, can assume sole leadership of\nthe zone should they claim three points outright against a tricky Anchovy, if\nCC lose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Gregory Daley-coached Green Pond have scored six goals\nin their two games, conceding just once.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maldon and Irwin are both yet to win a game clash in the\nZone\u2019s other match.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All games are scheduled to begin at 3:30 p.m.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An overall 40 games are scheduled to be contested on the\nday, ten (10) involving western schools. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
