The semi-final places in this season's ISSA/Digicel Manning Cup will be decided with the final round of quarter-final matches, which begins at 3 p.m.

In today's game, Kingston College go up against Camperdown at the Spanish Town Prison Oval and St George's College take on Charlie Smith at Stadium East in Group H. While in Group G, Jamaica College play Holy Trinity at Calabar High School and St Andrew Technical tackle Wolmer's at St George's College.

In Group H, Camperdown sit atop the standings with four points, two more than Kingston College and St George's, both on two points, and three more than Charlie Smith, on one point.

 

Shared lead

 

Over in Group G, defending champions Jamaica College and last season's runners up, St Andrew Technical High School, share the lead at the top with four points each.

Holy Trinity are next in the group with three points.

Wolmer's, who have no points after their two matches, have no chance of progressing to the next round.

The top two teams from each group will advance to the semi-finals.
