HILLEL Academy joined Lannaman’s at the top of Zone 1 in the Jamaica Independent Schools Association (JISA) Alberga Cup Under-12 football competition, after a hard-fought 2-0 victory over the previously undefeated Vaz Prep at Hillel in Wednesday’s round of fixtures.

The win carried the impressive Hillel outfit to a maximum nine points from their three assignments to date as they joined Lannaman’s, Emmanuel Christian Academy, Liberty Academy and Belair as the remaining unbeaten teams in the competition.
