ISSA GRACE KENNEDY ALL ISLAND SPAULDING CUP CRICKET PLAYOFF: Excelsior vs STETHS (Day 1)

The most prestigious prize in Jamaica’s School Boys Cricket, the Spaulding Cup, is once again up for grabs. Set to unfold from April 22 to 24 at the STETHS Ground in Santa Cruz, St. Elizabeth, this year’s edition features a mouthwatering clash between Urban Champions and defending title holders Excelsior High and Rural giants St. Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS).



The Spaulding Cup isn’t just a match, it’s a statement. It’s the crown jewel of local school cricket, contested annually between the best of the Corporate Area and the strongest from Rural Jamaica. For generations, it has showcased the brightest young talents in the country, many of whom have gone on to represent Jamaica and the West Indies.



Excelsior enters this year’s playoff full of confidence, having successfully defended their Urban Title. Known for their aggressive, fearless brand of cricket and sharp fielding unit, the team is once again led by a group of experienced players who know what it takes to win at this level.



Last year, they lifted the Spaulding Cup after a dominant performance over Manchester High School and they’ll be aiming to become the first team in recent years to win consecutive titles. Expect fireworks from their top order and a disciplined bowling attack that thrives under pressure.



No rural school commands more respect in schoolboys cricket than STETHS. The Santa Cruz-based powerhouse has won the Spaulding Cup on numerous occasions and they’ll be fired up to bring the trophy back to western Jamaica.




Coming off a strong run in the rural competition, STETHS blends raw talent with a deep cricketing culture and a fiercely loyal home crowd. Playing at home gives them a crucial advantage, and you can expect their usual passionate supporters pushing their boys all the way.



With history, pride, and island-wide bragging rights on the line, this year’s Spaulding Cup promises to be a thrilling three-day showdown. Excelsior seeks to reinforce their dominance, while STETHS is on a mission to reclaim their glory in front of their home fans.




Whether you’re in Santa Cruz or tuning in online, expect competitive cricket, big performances, and school spirit at its finest. It’s more than a match—it’s the final chapter in this year’s schoolboy cricket season, and only one team will walk away as the true champions of Jamaica.
