KINGSTON COLLEGE (KC) booked their spot in the semi-finals of the ISSA/Manning Cup football competition after a hard fought 3-0 victory over Kingston Technical High School (KTHS) at the Stadium East playing field today.

KC, who are unbeaten this season, were led to victory courtesy of a brace from Christopher Pearson in the 86th and 90th minutes.

Jamone Barclay netted the opening goal of the match for KC in the 17th minute.

However, it was a bitter-sweet day for KC after winger Ron-Jay Watson was substituted in the 14th minute and rushed to hospital with fractured shoulder, after he fell awkwardly under a challenge.
