TRELAWNY, Jamaica — Cedric Titus High took over sole leadership in Zone D of the ISSA daCosta Cup football competition after beating William Knibb Memorial High 2-0 in Martha Brae on Friday.

The teams had gone into the game locked on nine points each, but Terron Eccleston scored a goal in either half to take his tally to nine from four games as Cedric Titus snapped a two-game losing skid to their main rivals.

Eccleston scored the first in the 29th minute, turning between two William Knibb defenders and firing a left-footed volley past goalkeeper Chevaun Lloyd.

The Cedric Titus attacker produced a superb free kick midway the second half to seal the three points.

Elsewhere, Jevohntae Gordon scored his third-straight hat-trick as Manchester High beat Mount St Joseph Catholic 5-0 for their fifth victory in a row in Zone F.

Manchester High, who have amassed 30 goals in five games, also found the back of the net via a pair of own goals.

Cornwall College were made to work hard for their 2-0 win over Herbert Morrison Technical to stay on top of the point tables in Zone A.

Nickane Brown and Shaheem Bernard scored second-half goals for Cornwall.

Frome Technical rebounded from their 1-3 loss to Rusea’s High in midweek with a big 8-0 thrashing of Knockalva Technical at Frome.

Despite being held to a 1-1 result by Cambridge High at home, Rusea’s High (11 points) lead Zone B ahead of Frome Technical (10).

McGrath High’s winning run in Zone J was brought to an end when they were clipped 0-1 by Dinthill Technical who moved into joint lead on nine points. Both McGrath and Dinthill have played four games.

In another game, many-time former champions Clarendon College were 6-0 winners over Claude McKay High.
