Excelsior ready to move on ­— Broderick

Head coach at Excelsior High Keon Broderick says his team is determined to put their high-profile mistake behind them as they continue their ISSA Manning Cup title defence.

Excelsior booked their spot in the round of 16 on Wednesday with an emphatic 6-0 win over Holy Trinity at the Mountain View-based school, with Damarley Williams leading the way with a hat-trick.

The defending champions went into the contest with six less points after governing body ISSA, on Monday, charged them with fielding an ineligible player. It meant that they forfeited their previous second-round wins in Group 2 against St Jago and Calabar, while also losing their spot in the all-island knockout competition, the Champions Cup.
