STGC, XLCR clash in Manning Cup

STGC, XLCR clash in Manning Cup
Howard Walker
Monday, September 29, 2008

High-riding St George's College tackle Excelsior High in a top-of-the-table Group E clash at Winchester Park at 3:30 pm today.

Both teams are on maximum 12 points, with Excelsior on top based on their superior goal difference.

The 'Light Blues' have rattled up an impressive 18 goals from four games while conceding seven, with Excelsior notching 13 for and one against for a plus 12 difference.

The Neville 'Bertis' Bell-coached boys brushed aside Dunoon Technical 5-2, whipped Greater Portmore 5-0, edged Camperdown 3-2 and rallied from two goals down to beat Ardenne 5-3.

Meanwhile, Excelsior, back-to-back winners in 2003 and 2004, have been quietly getting the job done.
The Lebert Halliman-coached boys from Mountain View blanked Greater Portmore 3-0, clipped Camperdown 1-0, defeated Ardenne 3-1 and thrashed Dunoon 6-0.

Both Excelsior and St George's are six points ahead of the chasing pack and today's result will more than likely determine the group winner, although they have the return games to play.

Dunoon Technical will be trying to keep pace with the leaders with a win over Camperdown, while Ardenne should secure their second win over Greater Portmore.

In Group A, Charlie Smith should rebound from their 2-4 whipping by Tivoli Gardens and dispatch Tarrant in style.
The Spanish Town/Tivoli Gardens encounter should be close and can go either way.

Former champions Calabar are expected to defeat Group B leaders Waterford and close the gap significantly.

Waterford lead the group with 11 points from four games, having beaten St Mary's College 1-0, Pembroke Hall 2-1, Donald Quarrie 2-1 and Ascot 1-0.

Calabar are on six points from two games with massive 5-0 wins over Ascot and Donald Quarrie.

Their games against St Mary's College and Pembroke Hall were not played for various reasons.

With that in mind, Calabar are eager to show who is boss in this group and based on how easily they won those two games, plus Waterford's performances against the same opponents, Calabar should be confident of victory.
