St George’s College took a massive step towards the quarter-finals of the ISSA/Digicel Manning Cup with a 4-1 win over Jonathan Grant High as the first leg of the second round got underway on Tuesday.
Mona High and Haile Selassie also took first-leg advantages with 2-0 and 1-0 wins over Tivoli Gardens and Excelsior High, respectively, entering the return legs on Friday.
In the fourth match of the day, Campion College and Charlie Smith battled to a 1-1 draw going into the second leg.
From Tuesday’s four games, St George’s College are in the best position to progress to the quarter-finals as it would take a huge effort from Jonathan Grant to overturn that three-goal deficit, especially playing away at Winchester Park.
Mona High is also in a good position with a two-goal cushion over Tivoli High and should go through safely after the return leg on Friday.
However, Haile Selassie High produced the biggest upset of the round, stunning former champions Excelsior High 1-0 at Calabar High’s ground. The second leg will be played at Excelsior.
On Wednesday, defending champions Kingston College will travel to Spain Town Prison Oval to play Jose Marti High at 3pm, as STATHS take on St Jago at 1pm in a doubleheader.
Norman Manley High will take on Jamaica College in Calabar while Wolmer’s Boys will play St Catherine High at the Stadium East ground.
