ST ELIZABETH, Jamaica – Kemps Hill High were awarded the eighth and final spot in the quarterfinals of the ISSA daCosta Cup football competition on Saturday’s final day of the round of 16.
The Clarendon-based side edged Manchester High to the spot by the slimmest of margins, a fifth tie breaker, on a better disciplinary record. The rule has been on the ISSA books for years but it was the first time it has been used to break a tie.
Kemps Hill and Manchester ended up tied in all statistical categories and the disciplinary tiebreaker was used to separate them.
