All to play for

Cornwall College will tomorrow continue their quest for a 12th ISSA/Flow daCosta Cup schoolboys’ football title, when they take on Clarendon College in the semi-finals at the St Elizabeth Technical Sports Complex in Santa Cruz, starting at 2:30 pm.

The winner of the game will meet the victor in the other semi-final between defending champions St Elizabeth Technical High School and Lennon High scheduled a day later at Manchester High.

Tomorrow’s game at STETHS will be a repeat of the FLOW Super Cup semi-final three weeks ago that Cornwall College won 4-2, but both teams have combined to lose their last five games, and will be desperate to advance to the final.

Cornwall College lost the FLOW Super Cup final to Wolmer’s Boys in Kingston on November 12 , and three days later, went down to eventual champions Lennon High in the semi-finals of the Ben Francis KO in Santa Cruz, St Elizabeth.

And after losing to Cornwall, Clarendon College were upstaged by Spot Valley High in the Ben Francis KO quarterfinal game, and were then beaten on sudden death penalty-kicks by St Elizabeth Technical in the semis.

Both Cornwall and Clarendon would have benefited from more than a week’s rest, after a hectic period of playing successive games with little time off. The match-up between the schools promises to showcase the two teams at their fluent best.

If they can reproduce the form they showed leading up to, and in the FLOW Super Cup semi-finals, then fans will be in for a treat between two teams that at one time were tipped to sweep all in front of them.

After being held goalless in their last two games, Cornwall College’s Jourdaine Fletcher will be relied on to get back to the form that saw him score 27 goals this season, including a hat-trick against Clarendon College.

Fletcher will have midfielder Peter-Lee Vassell and the duo Aiden Jokomba and Garnett Hudson, as his partners in attack.

After being given most of last week off, the Cornwall College team returned to training on Monday and the word was that the players were ready and raring to go to return the school to the football pinnacle.

As impressive as the offense has been with nearly 70 goals in all competitions this season, the Cornwall College defence has been solid and will be back to full strength for the Clarendon College game tomorrow.

Clarendon College have lost a total of four games this season, two when they rested players against Lennon High after topping Zone H in the regular season, and against Spot Valley.

With everything on the line however, the daCosta Cup champions two years ago, are expected to also be at full strength with Creggton Charlton, Nique Daley and Ronaldo Richards leading the way.
