Wolmer’s Boys’ will finish top of the table after dispatching Holy Trinity High 4-0 on Saturday. Both teams will be progressing to round two, however, that match will decide who would leads. A motivated Clan Carthy High ran to a 6-3 win over Spanish Town in the other game in Group E.
Calabar High gave Hydel their first defeat for the season in a much-needed 1-0 victory over the St Catherine-based team. C’Bar are now one point behind the leaders with one set of games remaining.
