Former champions Old Harbour High and BB Coke High will be in action this afternoon as the revamped ISSA rural area Ben Francis Cup football competition gets under way with six games, including a double-header at Drax Hall in St Ann.
The first round is to continue on Saturday with another 24 games, from which the winners will advance to the second round set for September 26.
A total of 64 schools, the most ever in the history of the competition, will take part in the competition. The boost in the number of participants form part of the changes to schoolboys’ football this season. The Ben Francis Cup will be played and completed before the end of the daCosta Cup competition.
