‘CAN OF WORMS’

When news broke that Jamaica College (JC) was facing punishment for the use of an ineligible player in the ISSA Walker Cup knockout competition, the Old Hope Road-based institution had hoped that the Inter-Secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA) would rule in its favour. However, the verdict went against the school, leaving JC to come to terms with significant sanctions. Their fate was decided in just over an hour yesterday as ISSA officials met to determine whether the school had breached the competition’s rules.
