CAVALIER can wrap up the Claro/KSAFA Super League title this afternoon when they meet Mountain View in a rescheduled game at Excelsior High School, starting

at 3:30.

A former national favourite, Cavalier could be on their way back to the top flight of local football for the first time since the 1993-94 season, when the team was relegated.

Victory against fourth-placed Mountain View away from home will be no easy task, but coach Lamar Hodges is nonetheless confident his team can win the game.

“Playing Mountain View at Excelsior is going to be a tough one… Defensively, they are sound and attacking-wise they’re strong, so we have to approach them with caution,” he noted.

“But we’re in a good position to win the title and now that we’ve done all of the hard work, we can’t afford to throw it away, so we have to take this game against Mountain View real serious,” he added.

Cavalier, with 46, lead the points standings by two ahead of Santos, the only team in with a chance of catching them.

A win for the front-runners this afternoon would put them on an unassailable 49 points with only one round of matches left to go, and into the Digicel Premier League Play-offs.

Meadhaven and Maverley/Hughenden have been relegated this season.

Ardenne seek berth in national basketball final

ARDENNE could secure their place in the ISSA/KFC National Schools Basketball U-19 final today when they take on Belair High at the National Stadium Courts, starting at 4:00 pm.

In the opening game at 2:00, St George’s College will square-off against Campion College in an U-16 semi-final.

Many-time winners Ardenne lost out to St George’s at the final hurdle of the U-19s last season and are confident of going one better this year.

The Basil Barrett-coached school will have a host of experience to turn to in Dimitri Gage, Stephen Silvera, Sage Kamicka, Jeffrey Duhaney and

David Gardener

Opponents Belair won their only title in 2008, but the Manchester school has become a consistent contender under coach Michael Stephenson and will be aiming for a second final berth in this massive clash.

Their hopes of reaching a second national final will rest squarely on the dynamic duo of Earl Mowatt and Paneil Reynolds.

Meanwhile, the U-16 semi-final will be a repeat of the Southern Conference semis won by St George’s by a point.

St George’s will look to Javed Habib, Shavier Francis, Rasheed Andrews and Shaun Graham, while Campion will depend on Jonathan Mitchell, Chad Wilson, Mathieu Vaughn and Ajuan Burton.

The other semi-finals will take place tomorrow with Hydel High versus Western champions Herbert Morrison in the Under-19 game at the Montego Bay Cricket Club and Ardenne versus Knox College at Belair in the U-16 game.
