NO UNBEATEN TEAM REMAINS IN CLARO/KSAFA SUPER
LEAGUE
At the end of game day on Saturday, no team in
the Claro/KSAFA Super League remained unbeaten, as August Town
picked up their first loss of the season with two rounds
remaining.
They were clipped 1-0 by their closest rival,
Cavalier Soccer Club who are vying for championship honours.
It was a mouth-watering affair as both teams got
numerous goal scoring opportunities only to be denied by
excellent goalkeeping techniques or the efforts being put wide
off its target.
As the skies opened and the teams were drenched
with a heavy down pour, they soaked up the pressure and mounted
several more attacks. The visitors were the ones to prevail and
were rewarded seven minutes from full time through a Philip
Riley’s strike.
Both teams are now locked at the top of the
twelve-team table on 43 points however August Town are more
contented, having a superior goal difference. August Town will
next face Duhaney Park at Baldwin Crescent while Cavalier will
tackle Constant Spring at the Constant Spring Field on Saturday
May 2, 2009.
Santos came away 2-0 winners over Police
Nationals at the Bell/Chung Stadium. Goals from Fabian
Nethersole and Shyan Evans in the 20th and 40th
minutes respectively were enough to turn back the uniform men.
Santos remains in 3rd place 3 points behind leaders
August Town and Cavalier, while Police Nationals has traded
places with Liguanea United to sit at rock bottom with 12
points. Santos are still in contention for the title however by
a slim margin. They will face Real Mona in their next encounter
on Saturday.
Jamaica Defence Force (JDF), having no chance to
cop the title, were held to a 2-2 score line when they went up
against Constant Spring. Robert Taylor opened the scoring in the
53rd minute while Robert Levy added another in the 62nd
minute. The soldiers found a life-line in the 71st
minute, thanks to Cecil Sturridge and two minutes from time
Robert Wright found the equalizer.
JDF occupies 4th place with 35 points
while Constant Spring is two places below with 28 points.
The encounter between Bull Bay and Duhaney Park
ended in a 0-0 stalemate. Bull Bay remains in 5th
place with 29 points and Duhaney Park in 9th with 21
points.
Liguanea United seemed to have found the winning
formula, racking up two back-to-back victories. The latest
victory came against Real Mona who suffered a 2-1 defeat. Kevin
Campbell pulled an early goal in the 2nd minute to
set the stage for his team while Everton Mattis followed suit in
the 72nd minute. Real Mona’s consolation came in the
89th minute courtesy of Jair Gooden.
Real Mona has accumulated 28 points and is in 7th
place while Liguanea who continues to fight the relegation
battle, moved up one place to occupy 11th spot with
13 points.
Mountain View United who are also trying to stave
off relegation encountered a major set-back. Leading Maverley/Hughenden
1-0 through an Andre Palmer 42nd minute goal,
Mountain View were left heartbroken when their opponent
equalized on the stroke of full time, thanks to Fabian Swaby.
Maverley/Hughenden is in 8th position
on 25 points while Mountain View are still not safe, as they are
in 10th place with 13 points.
The Claro/KSAFA Super League continues on
Saturday, May 2, 2009 with a full slate of matches.

League leader’s Rae Town clipped Barbican 1-0 to
extend their lead a-top the Claro/KSAFA Major League. The lone
goal came from Donovan Beckford in the 77th minute.
Rae Town now moved four points ahead of its
nearest rival Central Kingston who suffered a 2-1 defeat to
Swallowfield.
Third place Brown’s Town were held to a 1-1 score
line by Olympic Gardens while Cooreville Gardens defeated
Seaview Gardens 3-0. Andrae Bernal and Oshane Smith were the
scorers for Cooreville Gardens with Bernal netting a brace in
the 8th and 41st.
The matches between Port Royal vs Rockfort and
Meadforest against Molynes United were not played as no security
personnel were present.
