Ten schools could join the 17 that have already secured progress to the next round via the automatic spots from the zones, while the others, including the best two third-placed teams in their pools, are expected to be filled in two sets of rescheduled matches set for Monday and Wednesday.

The shortage of adequately qualified referees as well as postponements caused by rain have forced the organisers, the Inter-Secondary Schools Sports Association to reschedule games to next week.

Yesterday, Green Island High kept their hopes alive after beating Frome Technical 2-1 in their Zone B return-round game at Frome, and drew level with them on eight points.

Denardo Kerr scored both goals for Green Island, who now need only a draw against Knockalva Technical at home on Monday to join zone winners Rusea’s High in the next round.

DeCarteret College scored their first points of the season, beating Cross Keys 2-0 in their Zone F return-round game and easing off the foot of the table, swapping positions with the losers on goal-difference, both on three points.

Today, former champions Cornwall College are seeking a historic 10th win in Zone A when they play away to Maldon High, and would complete a second perfect season in three years with a win, after winning all eight games in the 2014 season.

Three schools, including Clarendon College and Dinthill Technical can also win all their zonal games, joining Manchester High from last year, in this feat, the most recent time it has happened.

Port Antonio High took Zone L honours on Thursday night as Titchfield and Fair Prospect played out a 1-1 draw in a game that started at 7:00 pm.

With the result, Port Antonio High, who are on 15 points from six games, cannot be passed, while Fair Prospect on 14 points from their eight games are assured of second place.

The 17 schools that have already secured berths in the inter-zone round are Cornwall College and St James High from Zone A, Rusea’s High from Zone B, STETHS in Zone E, Manchester High and Mile Gully in Zone F, Holmwood Technical and Spalding High in Zone G, Clarendon College in Zone H, Dinthill Technical in Zone K, Port Antonio and Fair Prospect in Zone L, Garvey Maceo and Glenmuir in Zone M, Vere Technical in Zone N, Seaforth High and Paul Bogle in Zone O.

Four zones — C, D, I and J hare yet to have even one team secure their place in the next round and these could come down to the final games next week.

The awarding of points to Herbert Morrison from their 3-3 first-round draw against Spot Valley High, has thrown Zone C wide open, with both teams as well as Cedric Titus and long shot William Knibb Memorial all gunning for the two automatic slots.

Following the adjustments, Cedric Titus lead with 18 points, and a point from their game at home to Herbert Morrison would ensure they advance.

Herbert Morrison on 15 points must win to stay in the race, while William Knibb, who came back from two goals down on Thursday to earn a point against Cedric Titus, are also in a must-win situation as Spot Valley have a game in hand against Holland High.

In Zone D, the simple equation is that joint leaders Godfrey Stewart and Little London both need just a point to tie up the qualification spots.

Godfrey Stewart are away to Maud McLeod but Little London are away to a desperate Petersfield High who have a game in hand against Maud McLeod and a win today would see them edging in front of the losers on goal difference.

Both Zones I and J look set to go down to the bitter end, with a handful of schools still in the race for the spots.

At least four schools have a shot at the two spots from Zone I. Marcus Garvey Technical and Brown’s Town are locked on 15 points and identical 10 goals for and five against, but Brown’s Town have a game in hand.

Today, Marcus Garvey end their first round against Steer Town, who held them 0-0 in the first round and have a shot at their first inter-zone spot as they are on 11 points with a game to go.

Brown’s Town will hope to avenge their first-round 0-1 loss to York Castle, who could play the role of spoilers, as third-place Ocho Rios High on 13 points will take on Aabuthnott Gallimore.

After a slow start with just two points from their first four games, St Mary Technical are the leaders in Zone J with 15 points and a second win of the season against Tacky would see them win the group and effectively end Tacky’s hopes.

Second-place Brimmer Vale, who got just three points last season, are on 13 now and will play away to Horace Clarke High, who they had beaten in the first round.

Former champions Munro College need a point away at Lacovia to end the hosts’ hopes and join defending champions St Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS) in the next round.

STETHS will win the zone with a game in hand with at least a draw at Maggotty High.

Manchester High, the Zone F leaders, will hope to extend their streak of never losing to Mile Gully as both qualifiers meet at the Mile Gully Community Centre.

Manchester High lead with 25 points from nine games, three more than Mile Gully, who have a game in hand.

It could be heart break for Thompson Town, to come so close and not advance as they face a must-win game against leaders Clarendon College in Spalding.

Thompson Town are in second place on 15 points from seven games, three behind Clarendon, who will win Zone H with at least a draw.

Lennon High are, however, lurking on 10 points and will play Edwin Allen today with a game against Clarendon College to come.

In Zone N, Kemps Hill need point from their game against Bustamante High to join Vere Technical, who will top the zone with a win over Central High.
