St. Jago High, Eltham High, STATHS and Wolmer’s Boys all advanced to the quarterfinals of the Walker Cup knockout tournament after round one wins on Thursday.
St. Jago booked their spot in the last eight after a 3-2 win over Calabar High at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex.
St. Jago took an early lead before Calabar equalized in the 45th minute through Kevaun Campbell. St. Jago retook the lead five minutes into the second half through Richardo Lewis before Seon Cato made it 3-1 in the 74th minute.
Calabar got a consolation goal through Sheldon Pusey eight minutes from full time but it wasn’t enough.
In the second game of the double header at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex, Wolmer’s Boys got the better of St. George’s College 2-1.
Elsewhere, STATHS got a comfortable 3-0 win over Charlie Smith at Calabar to advance while Eltham beat Jonathan Grant 3-1 at the Spanish Town Prison Oval to make it through.
The four winners on Thursday will now take on the four teams that fail to advance to the semi-finals in the Manning Cup in the Walker Cup quarter-finals on November 21.
