 All right, let's get you caught up with the all-exciting Skopje football season in Jamaica, and it is proving to be another wonderful campaign, and let's get you caught up with what's happening in the competition, and we start today with the Dacosta Cup because we're at the round of 16 stage, and all the remaining matches will be played on Saturday, and the top eight will advance to the quarter-finals of the competition. Let's have a look at the fixtures and how all the teams stack up. This is group one. They call this one the group of death coming in. Karen and College, they have two wins, and they are on six points. Colonel College and St. Elizabeth Technical both have an opportunity to still advance. Myle Gully, they are out of the running for a spot in the quarter-final. Myle Gully will play St. Elizabeth Technical on Saturday, and Karen and College will play Cornwell College. Now, I tell you what, this group has produced one of the best games I've seen in the Dacosta Cup since COVID-19, and it was in midweek on Wednesday. Karen and College versus St. Elizabeth Technical. This was a cracker of a game that technical quality, the technical ability of both teams on display in that game was absolutely wonderful. It was decided by a Devonte Hodges header in the second half. It was a fabulous game of football, and I think we can expect more quality in the final set of matches. That Karen and College, Cornwell College game will be a cracker because Cornwell College lost their game, opening game to St. Elizabeth Technical. It was a close one. It was my three goals to two, so they have a lot of quality as well. Here's the Hodges header that decided the St. Elizabeth Technical, Karen and College game under the lights in Santa Cruz. It was a wonderful game, one of the best games I've seen in the Dacosta Cup since COVID-19, and not to mention the crowd as well. That venue was jam-packed in Santa Cruz, and this is what Dacosta Cup football is all about. So that is group one in the round of 16. Let's have a look at group two in the round of 16. The second seeds, Manchester High in a slight spot of mother here. They find themselves in third position on three points after being upset by BB Coke. Four goals to two in midweek. BB Coke leading the group with six points. Happy Grove, they are in second on three points. Manchester High will play Happy Grove on Saturday. I will say though that Manchester High go into that game as favorites while Tacky will play BB Coke. BB Coke go into that game as favorites as well. So I think the expectation there is that both Manchester High and BB Coke will qualify from group two. Let's have a look what group three is looking like, and this is another tight one. Dintil Technical leading the way with four points. I consider them the most consistent team in the Dacosta Cup over the last 10 years without winning the title. We just spoke to Xavier Gilbert. He got them to a final a few years ago. Christiana High in second and three points. McGraw in third on two points and William Nibb in fourth on a point. Dintil Technical will play William Nibb on Saturday. That's the game we'll be broadcasting live on your home of champions. So don't know the Sportsmax app and you can watch it on Sportsmax Plus. McGraw will play Christiana and what that means it's a glorious opportunity for either McGraw or Christiana to get into the last eight of this competition because the winner there will pretty much guarantee themselves a spot in the last eight, which means in our TV game Dintil versus William Nibb all for those two to play for. Let's have a look now at group four. This is the final one in the round of 16. Glenmere High one of the pre-tournament favorites leading the way with four points and goal difference over Garvin Maseo who won the title in 2021. Froome Technical in third on three points. They still have a shot of going through Port Antonia struggling. They've lost their first two matches on our own of contention. So Garvin Maseo if they win against Port Antonia that will take them through and so it will come down to Froome Technical versus Glenmere. Glenmere will only need a draw there I suspect to get into the last eight of the competition. So that group is coming down to the wire as well and will make the final day quite cracking. Now the urban area competition the Manning Cup will also be serving up some tantalizing clashes on Saturday with the quarterfinal round commencing. This is how the teams got to the last eight. Mounahai 10-1 an aggregate over Jonathan Grant, Jamaica Khaled 6-1 an aggregate over Eltham, Excelsior losing 3-1 an aggregate against Heidel, St. George's College 5-0 an aggregate against St. Jago 3-0 and 2-0 score lines there. Kingston College they have done well on the new coach Vassa Reynolds 7-3 an aggregate over Campion College that was a good tie especially in the first leg where Campion College led by two goals to nail but then lost that game 3-2. Heile Selassie going out to Tivoli Gardens beat Heile Selassie in the knockout final last season and this was another big win for them to move into the last eight. So Andrew Technical the pre-championship favorites they won their tie by seven goals to nail and I would think they are the team to be going forward and St. Catherine getting the better of Wilma's 5-1 an aggregate. Lance Whitaker is not going to like that that Wilma's are out of the Manning Cup. Let's have a look then at the matches to look forward to this weekend of course the teams have been put into two groups of four group one stats Mona Kingston College and St. Catherine that one you can consider the group of death and to start Kixi play Mona and St. Andrew technical play St. Catherine and I tell you what St. Andrew technical have been brilliant again this season remember they have lost three finals in the last six years 2017 2019 and last season their lead goal scoring in the competition this season with 59 goals and they have been the leading defensive unit as well coach Philip Williams has gone to a back three this season instead of as usual back four and that seems to be working out well for them there is no doubt that St. Andrew technical possessed the quality to go on and win the Manning Cup this season the question is when it comes to crunch time will they be able to get the job done and then there's group two in the quarterfinal round of the Manning Cup let's have a look at that one the defending champions Jamaica College always dangerous St. George's College Tivoli Gardens and Heidel JC start against Heidel and St. George's College will play Tivoli Gardens in their opening quarterfinal round match two groups of four the top two from each group will advance to the semi-finals of the Manning Cup that's it i hope you're all caught up on scuba football from the land of wooden water remember to join us live on saturday william nib versus dintil technical in that all important the Costa Cop encounter we'll be back with more on the sports
