SANTA CRUZ, St Elizabeth — Lacovia High’s head coach Willard Douglas says he was pleased with the performance of his players after they beat Ocho Rios High 3-0 to kick off their ISSA daCosta Cup quarterfinal fixtures at the St Elizabeth Technical Sports Complex on Wednesday.

The game was goal-less at half-time, but Lacovia responded best in the second half to lead Group B ahead of Glenmuir High who beat McGrath High 2-0 at Glenmuir High in May Pen.

Robeeno Wilson, Tyraun Bembridge and Radrion Folkes scored for Lacovia and Douglas said they were able to adjust at the interval to get the upper hand over their opponents.

“We had to remind them of their roles,” he told the Jamaica Observer, “they were indisciplined in their tactical positioning and we were able to fix that.”

Douglas said they knew they would have to work hard going into the game, “we had our work cut out against a well-drilled Ocho Rios team.”

At Glenmuir High, the home team scored once in either half and were beating McGrath High for the second time this season after a 4-0 victory in the quarterfinals of the Ben Francis Cup.

Orel Miller gave Glenmuir High the lead in the 26th minute before Jonathan Tomlinson scored the second goal in the 64th minute.
