MoBay Sports Complex to host Ben Francis KO final
ST JAMES, Jamaica — The Montego Bay Sports Complex at Catherine Hall in Montego Bay will host Saturday’s ISSA/Lime Ben Francis Knock Out finals between three time defending champions St Elizabeth Technical and Manchester High School.
A release from ISSA Thursday announced that the game would go on after doubts about the availability of the venue were earlier voiced.
George Forbes, competitions coordinator at ISSA said that the organizers were given the all clear to stage the final at the venue.
The Montego Bay Sports Complex as well as Jarrett Park had been closed off to competition in order to get them ready for the start of the CONCACAF Girls Under-17 finals next Wednesday.
Meanwhile STETHS will seek an unprecedented fourth straight title after beating Paul Bogle High 3-2 in their semi-final in Clarendon, with all three goals coming in the final 15 minutes after trailing 2-0 from as early as the 16th minute.
Manchester High, which lost to STETHS in the 2011 final at Jarrett Park, edged Green Pond High 1-0 in their semi-final game played in Santa Cruz.
