Manning Cup Football: Excelsior trounce Tarrant 4-0
KINGSTON, Jamaica — In what was basically a repeat performance of their first-leg contest, Excelsior High once again trounced Tarrant High 4-0 in Group A return-leg action of the Inter-secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA)/FLOW Manning Cup competition on Monday.
Substitute Tyane Wilson led the way with a brace in the 65th and 70th minutes, with Voshawn Williams (23rd) and Alain Skerritt (88th) grabbing the others in the lopsided contest at Jacisera Park.
The win propelled Excelsior to the top of the five-team standings on 10 points, with a superior goal difference over Greater Portmore. The St Catherine-based team also moved to 10 points following a 2-1? deafeat of Tivoli Gardens High in the other group fixture.
Group favourites St George’s College have slipped to third on nine points and will not be in action until Saturday.
