<p>Three games were slated for the day
with the opening match seeing defending DaCosta Cup champions Clarendon College
and Lennon High playing to a tame 1-1 draw. However, things got going in the
second match where defending Manning Cup champions Kingston College romped home
to a 4-0 victory over Excelsior. </p>

<p>The crowd got bigger for the final
game which saw Cornwall College taking on Irwin High. The game was action-packed,
but Cornwall went behind to free kick late in the first half. However, they got
lucky when an obvious penalty was not called, and they managed to come from
behind late to beat Irwin 2-1, much to the chagrin of several Irwin supporters
who began streaming out of the stadium. </p>
