Previously unbeaten Tivoli High will look to make up for lost ground, when they tackle Tarrant at Jasicera Park, in one of two rescheduled Manning Cup games beginning at 3:30 p.m. today.
In the day's other game, defending Walker Cup champions, Calabar, will have their eyes set on taking over leadership of Group B when they travel to St Mary's College. Earlier this week, Tivoli saw a three-game winning streak come to an end, when they were clipped 3-2 by Spanish Town.
Slip-ups
In a tightly contested Group A match, the loss dropped the west-Kingston team to fourth place. However, they could regain the top spot with a win today, and, so, can't afford any slip-ups against the hosts. Tarrant are, however, yet to win a game or even score a goal thus far this season and would have to see a miraculous change in form to cause the west-Kingston team any serious difficulties.
Despite being held to a draw by last season's semi-finalist, Waterford, earlier this week, Calabar, impressive in early-season play, could surge to the top of the table with a win. In fact, they are expected to do so against a St Mary's team, which, though greatly improved since last season, will be hard pressed to make things difficult for the Red Hills Road team.
