Keon Broderick, head coach of defending ISSA Manning Cup champions Excelsior, says his players have recovered mentally and emotionally from their recent setback and remain confident of retaining their title this season. The Mountain View-based school had six points deducted by the Inter-Secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA) during the second round after being charged with fielding an ineligible player. They were also removed from the all-island Champions Cup knockout competition.
