At the start of the season, Patrick ‘Jackie’ Walters in many local media outlets, spoke about the great chance his Clarendon College team lifting the coveted DaCosta Cup title. In this round, they seem quiet contended on doing just that. They are taking care of business and today was no different. They defeated a depleted Garvey Maceo team 3-2 to stay on top of Zone S.
Even though a draw will be enough when they play Frome next week, this team will be all out looking to secure the semi-final spot in style.
Frome, the second place team on four points, we held to a 1 all draw with Marcus Garvey in the only tie contest of the day.
Marcus Garvey, and Garvey Maceo, are statistically eliminated with one and two points respectively from two games, will face each other in a game of only academic interest.
