Keen battle! - Reno FC to meet MoBay Boys’ Club as Western Confed heats up

FROME, Westmoreland — LEADERS Reno FC and joint second-placed team Montego Bay Boys Club will meet at the Frome Sports Grounds on Sunday in the featured game as the Jamaica Football Federation’s/Captain’s Bakery and Grill/Charley’s JB Rums Western Confederation Super League continues after the holiday break with a full schedule of six matches.

Reno FC sits on top of the point standings with 10 points from four games, two points ahead of Holland United and Boys’ Club, while Savannah SC and former champions Granville FC are next on six points each.St James clubs, Tomorrow’s People and defending champions Wadadah FC are next on five points each, while promoted Sandals Whitehouse- three points, Lucea FCtwo points, and Village United and Duanvale on a point each, are at the bottom of the tables.Reno, who were the beaten finalists last season, giving up a first-leg advantage to lose on penalty kicks to Wadadah FC, are off to a fast start this season, dropping just two points from a potential 12, and will seek to extend their unbeaten run at Frome that has spanned all of last season.Boys’ Club, who won the St James Senior League last season, have also won their last two games and are one of the hottest teams in the league, but they are yet to prove their pedigree.Androcle Poyser has scored in their previous three games played and will once again lead the Boys Club attack.Holland United are expected to return to winning ways when they take on Lucea FC at the Colin Miller Sports Complex in Lucea, after being held goalless by Granville United on Monday.Lucea FC, the only club from Hanover in the competition, has struggled so far, earning just two points, but has been defensively adequate, giving up just five goals in their four games played.Holland United led by Stephon Bramwell and Romaine Lewis, who have combined for seven of the team’s 10 goals, are the competition’s most prolific scoring team, and will test Lucea’s resilience.Norwood Strikers’ Roshane Reid has scored five goals in his team’s last two games and they hope the holiday break has not cooled him off when they host Savannah SC who have drawn three straight after an opening day 2-1 win over Lucea.After giving up a 3-0 lead to settle for a draw against Holland, Norwood trounced Village United 5-0 in Trelawny last week, and will start favourites to hand Savannah their first defeat.Two-time champions Granville United have managed to stay in the top half of the tables despite scoring a single goal, but remain the only team yet to concede a goal. They will take on the last -placed Duanvale FC that has conceded 13 goals, while scoring just once.Defending champions Wadadah FC will go after back-to-back wins when they take on Village United, after beating Lucea FC with a late goal on Monday afternoon.At Jarrett Park, the inconsistent Tomorrow’s People will host Sandals Whitehouse who have lost their two previous games played in Montego Bay, both at the UDC Field.Sandals Whitehouse have won just once all season long and will hope to start the New Year off with three more points.Holland United’s Romaine Lewis (left) gets to a ball ahead of Norwood Strikers’ Dane Gillette in a recent JFF Captain’s Bakery and Grill/Charley’s JB Rums Western Confederation Super League game at the UDC Field in Montego Bay.
