FALMOUTH, Trelawny — Sandals Whitehouse will seek to extend their winning start to the Jamaica Football Federation Charley’s JB Rum Western Confederation Super League when they travel to face Holland United at Elleston Wakeland Centre today.
Sandals Whitehouse have won all six games played so far and lead with 18 points, two more than Savannah SC, who dropped points for the first time this season when they were held 1-1 at Village United in the previous round.
Wadadah FC are in third place on 12 points, one more than promoted Salt Marsh United, with Granville FC and Village United tied on 10 points each.
Savannah SC will be gunning to get back to winning ways when they travel to Granville Community Centre to face a team that has defied logic so far, scoring just three goals, winning three games by 1-0 margins, losing one by the same score, then drawing 0-0 in their last game against Tomorrow’s People.
The Savannah offence sputtered for the first time this season when they had to rely on a defender’s goal to get the point at Village. Prior to that they had scored 17 goals in five games.
Decades ago, a Wadadah FC vs Violet Kickers fixture would be national headliners, but both have fallen from their mid-1990s status and only a handful of diehard fans are expected at the UDC field today.
On form, Wadadah FC should prevail, but Violet Kickers, second to last in the table, have shown they can be lethal.
Salt Marsh United have shown they are not to be underrated and Tomorrow’s People could find out first-hand today when they meet at Irwin High.
Tomorrow’s People have played recent games without a number of top players who are reported to have changed clubs during the FIFA transfer window.
Montego Bay Boys Club will seek a third straight win when they travel to Watson Taylor Park in Lucea to face Jericho Rangers, while Beaches Negril, still seeking a win, will host Village United at Long Bay Beach Park.
