StGC tackle neighbours Holy Trinity
Despite losing two of their main players, Brian Burkett and Adrian Reid Jr, from last season, St George's College will look to start their Manning Cup season on a positive note when they take on neighbours Holy Trinity in a Zone G game at Winchester Park.
The Neville 'Bertis' Bell-coached 'Georgians' last won the title in 2012 and made the Manning Cup final in 2018, where they lost to North Street rivals Kingston College.
Last season, the school made it to the semifinals and lost to eventual winners Mona High.
Holy Trinity, on the other hand, have not been the force they were under former coach Devon Anderson, who left for Hydel in 2022.
In Nicholas Stewarts' two seasons as coach of the team, they failed to challenge for a second-round spot, and are not expected to offer much of a contest to the home team, who traditionally start well.
