CHAMPIONS GLENMUIR High yesterday lost their unbeaten record in Zone I of the ISSA/Pepsi/Digicel daCosta Cup when Garvey Maceo, behind a first-half strike by Daniel Callaghan, upstaged them 1-0 at the York Town Community Centre in Clarendon.

By virtue of their win, Garvey Maceo are now joint leaders of the group with Old Harbour, who had a 1-0 win over Central High in their game at Effortville Community Centre, also in Clarendon.

However, the Old Harbour team, which scored through Jabari Baker, has played four games to Garvey Maceo's three.

"We prepared ourselves well for this game and this win was not a surprise, we expected it," said Garvey Maceo's coach, Jeffrey Hewitt. "We saw this win coming from as far back as last year it is just that it happened today," he said.

Garvey Maceo's goal, which came in the 18th minute, saw Glenmuir's custodian Christopher Lewis make a brilliant save to deny Andre Prince, but the ball rebounded to Callaghan, who buried it into the back of the net.

In other games yesterday, St. Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS) returned to their winning ways in Zone E, blunting Black River 2-0 at Black River. The win took STETHS to six points - three behind runaway group leaders Munro College, who did not have a game yesterday.

Over in hotly-contested Zone K, Brimmervale maintained their position atop the standings with a 2-0 win over St. Mary High, which moved them to 11 points. After five games, Brimmervale now have three wins and two draws, which makes them one of the favourites to advance from what has been a competitive zone so far.
