A new title branding, night games, and pool sponsors are just some of the new features that will be added to the 2015 Inter-Secondary Schools Sports Association/Flow Schoolboy Manning and daCosta Cup competitions.

The competition is set to kick off next Saturday, September 12, with a triple-header at the Montego Bay Sports Complex in Catherine Hall, St James.

Manning Cup champions, Jamaica College, will entertain Calabar in the opener at 2 p.m.; daCosta Cup holders, Clarendon College, take on Edwin Allen in the second game at 4:45 p.m., while Irwin High face former winners Cornwall College in the final game at 6:45 p.m.

ISSA president, Dr Walton Small, admitted that there are concerns regarding night football for schoolers, but cautioned that this season was a trial and that they would review it at the end of the competition.

"We had the discussion and the pros and cons were looked at. For these games, we expect everything to be finished by eight 'o' clock, so no student should be on the road.

"If parents can't accompany them, then we expect them to put things in place to ensure they get back to their destinations. At the end of the year, it is something that we are going to evaluate to see if we should continue," he told STAR Sports.

The Manning Cup final is set for November 28, at the National Stadium and the daCosta Cup final will be played on December 5, at the Montego Bay Sports Complex.

The ISSA/Flow Super Cup will take place between October 24 and November 14. There will be a one leg Olivier Shield that will be played on December 12.
