Top teams into ISSA Rural Area quarters
DEFENDING champions Holmwood Technical, Denbigh, Manchester High and Tacius Golding advanced to the quarter-final round of the Digicel/ISSA Rural high schools Senior League netball competition after convincing wins last Friday.
All four teams won their respective groups with maximum 10 points. The quarter-finals, to be played on a knock-out basis, is scheduled for this Tuesday.
Holmwood easily captured Group 4; Denbigh took Group1; Tacius Golding topped Group 3, while Manchester grabbed Group 2.
Second place in all four groups are yet to be decided as it is considered very close on points with the other teams and goal average might have to be used to determined the runners-up who will also advanced to the quarter-final knockout stage.
Meanwhile, in the Juniors, Denbigh and Holmwood are the first two quarter-finalist as they have won all their five games in their respective groups. Denbigh won Group 1 while Holmwood captured Group 4.
Again, Groups 2 and 3 are very close to decide who go through with the winners of each group and the runners-up. Defending Junior League champions Hedrbert Morrison could be in danger of not reaching the quarter-finals as they might have to await goal difference with other teams.
