The 2024 Series, coordinated by the Petra Organisation has delivered unforgettable action. Today, the finalists will be decided at the MoE ground.
The teams to watch are defending champions Clarendon College from Jamaica and Trinidad’s Southern and Intercol champions, St Benedict’s College. Both have proven formidable, remaining unbeaten in this year’s campaign.

Meanwhile, in Wednesday evening’s matches, Guyana’s powerhouse Chase’s Academic Foundation suffered a 3-0 defeat against the Trinidadians, while last year’s champions, Clarendon College, edged out Tobago’s Speyside College 2-1. These results set the stage for an exhilarating finish ahead of Sunday’s grand finale.
