Kingston College (KC) advanced to the final of the ISSA/Digicel Manning Cup, coming from behind to beat St Andrew Technical High School in the semi-final at Stadium East this afternoon.

Omar Reid gave STATHS the lead in the sixth minute before Jaheem Johnson equalised for KC five minutes later. Omar Laing restored STATHS advantage in the 22nd minute to head into half time with a 2-1 lead.

The second half was all KC as Ronardo Burgher equalsied in the 59th minute, Luis Watson gave them the lead in the 68th and Christopher Pearson put the game beyond doubt in the 74th minute with a well-placed free kick.

Kingston College will meet Jamaica College in the final as they seek a 16th Manning Cup title.
