FRESH FROM THEIR tough 2-1 win over Herbert Morrison in Montego Bay yesterday, William Knibb will host Cornwall College at the Elliston Wakeland Centre in Falmouth in a ISSA Pepsi/JN Zone A top of the zone game tomorrow.

William Knibb lead the zone with 12 points after picking up their fourth win on Monday, while second placed Cornwall would have had an extra day to rest after trouncing Irwin High 10-0 on Monday.

Five games are scheduled, three more in Zone A with Anchovy going after three straight win when they play away to debutants Irwin High who are yet to earn a point and have conceded a league high 25 goals.

Cornwall have beaten William Knibb three of the last four times the teams have met and tomorrow's game will be a keenly contested affair.

Cornwall will be hoping to be fully fit. Key midfielders Andre Lee and Edward Campbell were taken out of Monday's game after just 15 minutes.

Richard Edmonson who leads the team with six goals after scoring four against Irwin, Nakia Atkinson who had a hat-trick and Omroy Wilson will lead the Cornwall attack.

William Knibb must start favourites, however, with marksman Vivroy Kirlew, Dhane Johnson and Nicolas Falconer expected to give the Cornwall defence a handful to handle.

Two other schools maintained perfect records yesterday. Two-time winners and Zone E leaders St Elizabeth Technical High (STETHS) won for the third time, beating Newell High 3-0 thanks to two goals from Renorio Downswell to take his tally to five goals.

Knox won for the second time in Zone G, beating Porus 2-1 but stay in second place, one point behind Spaldings who drew 1-1 with Christiana.

At Jarrett Park, Bobby Campbell scored a hat-trick for St James High in their 6-0 romp over Muschett. Anchovy won for the second straight time, beating Maldon 4-0.
