Defending champions Jamaica College (JC) have been docked three points for using an ineligible player in their opening Manning Cup encounter of the 2023 season against Tivoli Gardens High.
The Inter-Secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA) Disciplinary Committee made the ruling following an investigation into the matter, ISSA announced Friday.
JC had won the match played on Saturday, September 9 with a score of 2-0. However, the ruling means they will lose all three points gained and Tivoli Gardens will be awarded the points with a score of 3-0.
