D’Cup triple
Jarrett Park will host a massive ISSA/Flow daCosta Cup schoolboy football Inter-zone triple-header on Saturday, as teams battle for places in the quarter-finals, as well as the Flow Super Cup, that starts next week.
The Inter-zone round started yesterday and nine western teams, the eight automatic qualifiers from the four zones, as well as Little London, in their first ever Inter-zone will be gunning for places.
On Saturday, Spot Valley High take on 2005 champions Godfrey Stewart in the 2:00pm opener, followed by Cornwall College taking on Petersfield High in a grudge game, starting at 4:00pm, before Rusea’s High and St James High clash in the 6:00pm game.
Little London will play their first Inter-zone game in front of home fans when they host Paul Bogle High at Frome starting at 3:30pm.
The Inter-zone round ends on Tuesday and only a maximum three western-based teams can advance.
Cornwall College who won a historic 10 games in the first round, the first time a team has won that many in Zone A, leads Zone 1 of the inter-zone that includes Petersfield, who knocked them out at this stage last year, Green Island High and Cedric Titus.
Zone 2 will see three former champions — Rusea’s High, St James High and Godfrey Stewart, as well as Spot Valley High doing battle.
Cornwall College got through the first round with some ease, conceding four goals in 10 games, two coming after they had taken a 5-0 lead in a 6-2 win at Maldon on Saturday, and scored 35 goals in the process.
Rusea’s High had little difficulty in wining Zone B with 14 points from six games; Cedric Titus was declared the winners in Zone C despite both themselves and runners-up Spot Valley having a game to play, while Godfrey Stewart survived a tough Zone D battle.
