Manchester get one over on Cornwall

Manchester High School gained a measure of revenge in the Ben Francis Cup knockout competition yesterday, eliminating seven-time champions Cornwall College 2-0 at Manchester High.

Manchester will await the outcome of today’s clash between defending champions Clarendon College and Ocho Rios High at the Drax Hall Sports Complex to learn the identity of their quarterfinal opponents.

The hosts struck twice inside a five-minute spell early in the contest, with Jahleel McKenzie opening the scoring in the 11th minute before Jequil Forbes doubled the advantage five minutes later, leaving Cornwall with a mountain to climb for the remainder of the match.
