Rusea's High scored another big win in Zone B of the 2011 ISSA/Gatorade/Digicel daCosta Cup yesterday.

The Lucea-based defending champions spanked Knockalva 9-0 to extend their impressive win record to eight games and their goal-scoring tally to 52 goals for and one against.

In another dominant performance, top marksman Brian Brown hit the target four times to lift his season tally to 20 goals. Demar Doeman (2), Loshane Alcott, Keanu Williams and Nicodia Haughton got the other goals

In Zone A, the red-hot St James High had their perfect record tarnished when they had to come from behind to secure a 1-1 draw against a Green Pond High team, which ran them ragged but failed to capitalise on the numerous chances they got.

Despite dropping a point, St James remained comfortable leaders of the group with 19 points, accumulated through their six wins and a draw. Green Pond now have three wins and a draw and remain off the pace on 10 points.

In other Zone A games Spot Valley consolidated second place in fine style, scoring a good 2-0 win against William Knibb to move to 13 points while many-time champions Cornwall College clipped Muschett 1-0 to move into third place on 11 points.

In Zone F, St Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS) reclaimed sole leadership of the group blanking DeCarteret College 4-0 in their rescheduled game. The win lifted the Santa Cruz-based team to 22 points, three more than arch-rivals Munro College, who were inactive yesterday.
