Mass illness puts paid to Manning’s final daCosta Cup game

An outbreak of an illness with flu-like symptoms forced already-eliminated Manning’s School to forfeit their final daCosta Cup game against McGrath High School. The result handed McGrath a place in the quarterfinals without kicking a ball, although the team already had one foot in the door after securing three points in Zone Four. Munro College topped the zone with seven points, the same tally as McGrath, but advanced as winners on goal difference.
