MAY PEN, Clarendon - Glenmuir High, Spalding High, Manchester and Dinthill Technical maintained perfect win records in the Inter-zone round of the ISSA/Pepsi/Digicel daCosta Cup schoolboy competition after scoring wins in yesterday's second set of matches to top their respective groups.

All four teams need only a draw in Wednesday's final set of matches to advance to the quarter-finals, where only the winners of the six groups, plus the two best second-placed schools will advance.
