Maldon chase history in rescheduled match against St James
IRWIN, St James — Maldon High could create history today if they can advance past the first round of the ISSA daCosta Cup football for the first time ever, but they must beat St James High in a rescheduled Zone A game at Irwin High, starting at 1:00 pm.
Maldon High, who were awarded points from their unplayed game against Green Pond High on Thursday, are in second place on 16 points, one more than Cornwall College who will play out-of-contention St James High on Thursday.
