SPALDING, Manchester — Holmwood Technical will hope to move closer to back-to-back qualification to the Inter-zone round of the ISSA/LIME daCosta Cup football competition today when they take on Knox College in a rescheduled Zone G first-round game.

The Dave Anderson-coached Holmwood Technical lead the zone with 10 points, one more than Alston High, as four schools including Christiana High, who play Spalding, are in with a chance of advancing.

Holmwood’s return-round game against Spalding on Saturday was called off due to bad weather and they had lost their previous game 3-1 to Alston High.

Knox College are also in the race for a place in the next round and are in third place on seven points with games in hand.

Spalding are out of contention on just two points and that will give Christiana all the confidence they need going into the game.

In one Zone I game at Drax Hall, Ocho Rios High and Brown’s Town will meet in a game of academic interest only, as they are both out of contention for an Inter-zone place.

Ocho Rios are on seven points and Brown’s Town are on four.

Cedric Titus lead the zone with 19 points and have already secured a berth, while Marcus Garvey are on 18 points and need only a point or for Steer Town to drop points to confirm their place.

Twelve schools have confirmed their places in the Inter-zone round already — Cornwall College from Zone A, Frome Technical from Zone B, Muschett High from Zone C, defending champions St Elizabeth Technical High School from Zone E, Manchester High and Mile Gully from Zone F, Clarendon College from Zone H, Cedric Titus from Zone I, St Mary Technical from Zone J, Dinthill Technical from Zone K, and Glenmuir High and Garvey Maceo from Zone M.
