Marlando Maxwell got back to back braces for Manchester High as they overwhelmed St James High in the second half after leading 1-0 at halftime.
Ronaldo Webster also got a two-timer late in the game as STETHS shut down Lennon High at Juici Field while Martin Beech’s second-half goal was enough for Dinthill to beat Petersfield at Frome.
Mile Gully seems to have used up their luck in their second-round upset of defending champions Rusea’s High as they were beaten 1-0 at Carder Park by Port Antonio while Frome Technical made full use of home field advantage against Maggotty High, winning 1-0.
