Ten-man Clarendon survive stern Manchester test

Defending champions Clarendon College survived a fiery encounter and a late eruption of tempers to edge Manchester High 2-1 and advance to the semi-finals of the ISSA Ben Francis Cup knockout competition yesterday.

The ill-tempered quarter-final clash at Manchester High produced 10 yellow cards and a red card before security personnel were called in to quell tensions following the final whistle.

Clarendon, who are seeking to retain their title and secure back-to-back championships, will face Denbigh High in the semi-finals after Justin Hayles and Jahiem Senior found the back of the net.
