St. George's, Hydel in Manning Cup final

Defending champions St George's College and Hydel High will clash in this year's final of the Inter-secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA)/Gatorade/Digicel Manning Cup competition.

Both schools registered contrasting semi-final victories over Wolmer's Boys and Excelsior High respectively at the National Stadium yesterday.

St George's blanked Wolmer's 2-0 with national Under-20 representative Cardel Benbow scoring both goals.

The speedy Benbow netted his goals in the 12th and 80th minutes.

Earlier Gah-Sean Wray scored in the 56th and Giovanni Green in the 108th as the Geoffrey Maxwell-coached Hydel came from behind to clip Excelsior High 2-1 in extra-time to reach their first Manning Cup final.

Kareem Banton put Excelsior in the lead in the 45th minute before Hydel roared back to claim victory.
