Final two daCosta Cup round of 16 places to be decided

The final two spots for the ISSA daCosta Cup Round of 16 are set to be determined on Monday in a rescheduled Group 1 clash between Frome Technical and Kemps Hill High at the Wembley Centre of Excellence. Originally slated to take place at Foga Road High alongside other round of 32 matches, the game was postponed due to a waterlogged field. The match, kicking off at 1:00 pm, holds significant stakes for both teams. Frome Technical, currently joint leaders with Cornwall College on six points, need only a draw to secure their place in the next round. Cornwall College, boasting a formidable 13-1 victory over Cedric Titus High, already has one foot in the third round. Kemps Hill High, with three points, must win to advance, as even a one-goal victory would tie them with Frome Technical on points and goal difference, but they would hold the advantage in tie-breakers due to more goals scored and head-to-head results. Both teams enter the match on the back of strong performances. Frome Technical recently handed Cornwall College their first loss of the season with a 2-1 victory, while Kemps Hill rallied to defeat Cedric Titus 6-4, led by Ricardo Dean’s hat-trick and Shemar Daley’s double. The outcome of this match will finalize the Round of 16 lineup, which already includes 14 teams such as defending champions Garvey Maceo High and other top performers from various groups.
