Performer of the Week - Grant propels JC to Manning Cup final

JAMAICA COLLEGE'S (JC) Anthony Grant scored a brace last Saturday in the semi-finals of the ISSA/Pepsi/Digicel Manning Cup to guide his school to a comfortable 2-0 victory over arch-rivals Kingston College (KC) at the Harbour View Mini-Stadium.

Grant scored his first goal in the 20th minute when he fired home a powerful, close-range shot past goalkeeper Sachelle Merchant.

Grant completed his double 15 minutes into the second period when he headed home a right-sided cross from Akeem Bennett. For this outstanding effort, he was awarded the 'Performer of the Week'.

They will now face defending champions Bridgeport, a team they whipped 4-0 in the quarter-finals, in today's final.

JC's only defeat this season came against arch-rivals Calabar in the final of the Walker Cup.
