Fierce groups drawn for 2018 Manning Cup season
Defending champions Jamaica College will face Hydel High School, Vauxhall High School, Kingston Technical High School, Kingston High, and Campion College in Group F, when the ISSA/FLOW Manning Cup tournament kicks off in September.
However, the battle for Groups A, B, C and G honours will not be easy affairs for group favourites, St George's College, Kingston College, Charlie Smith High School, and Wolmer's Boys, respectively, as these top teams will face some very tough opponents to decide the groups' winners.
In Group A, former winners St George's will go up against last season' beaten Manning Cup finalist St Andrew Technical High School, Papine High School, Cedar Grove High School, Cumberland High School and Tarrant High School.
