Dinthill Technical and Manning’s School advanced to the semi-finals of the ISSA/Wata Dacosta Cup football competition following contrasting results in their last-quarter final round games yesterday.
Dinthill Technical topped Group One with maximum nine points after edging Edwin Allen High 1-0 at Drax Hall.
Manning’s School advanced to the semi-finals for the first time since 2005 after they topped Group Two with seven points, following their 1-1 result with Munro College at St Elizabeth Technical Sports Complex.
Dinthill and Manning’s will contest one of the semi-finals set for January. They have also booked their spots in the ISSA Champions Cup competition.
One semi-final spot will be decided today from the three-team race in Group Three between Garvey Maceo, St Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS) and dark horses Frome Technical.
The fourth semi-finalist for the Dacosta Cup will be known next Tuesday when Group Four is decided, after the games that were set for today were postponed by the organisers yesterday.
Defending champions Clarendon College will meet McGrath High at Dinthill Technical, while Cornwall College and Manchester High will meet at Green Pond High in St James.
