WESTERN BUREAU:

DEFENDING CHAMPIONS Glenmuir High continued their smooth sailing in the ISSA Pepsi/Jamaica National daCosta Cup schoolboy football competition with a 10-0 thrashing of former champions Vere Technical in a Zone I game played at Brancourt field yesterday.
Carnell Learmond scored four times to take his tally of goals on the season to nine while James Thomas grabbed two to take his total to eight.

The Patrick 'Jackie' Walters coached team has dominated the competition from the start and has scored 26 goals in four matches while not conceding any. Yesterday's win also returned them to sole leadership in the zone after Garvey Maceo's win over Kemps Hill on Friday had taken them to joint leadership. Former winners St Elizabeth Technical High (STETHS) and Denbigh High maintained their perfect win streaks while Grange Hill, Godfrey Stewart High, Titchfield and Port Antonio High all dropped their first points of the season thanks to draws.

FIRST WIN IN FIVE YEARS

STETHS won at rivals Munro College 2-0 for the first time in five years as Renorio Downswell grabbed his sixth goal of the season with one of the strikes.

Denbigh extended their lead atop Zone H with a 3-1 win over second-placed Edwin Allen High, their fourth win in a row.

Former champions Cornwall College stayed on top in Zone A after edging Muschett High 2-1 in Wakefield, while William Knibb played to a 1-1 draw at Anchovy to stay in second place, one point ahead of Herbert Morrison who beat St James High 2-0.
