FROME, Westmoreland — The prinicipal of the Captain’s Bakery and Grill Captain Horace Burrell said that Western Confederation champions Reno FC are well poised to return to the nation’s top football competition, the Digicel Premier League.

Addressing the presentation ceremony at the Frome Complex in Westmoreland Sunday night, Burrell added that the former national champions belonged in top flight football, and their recent success at the confederation level is testimony that they have the quality within their ranks to make it back up.

“Reno are now certainly where they ought to be. Reno over the years have done so much for western football and coming back at this time and qualifying in this competition certainly will go a far way in putting them back on the map,” said Burrell, who is also president of the Jamaica Football Federation.

“Reno now have that opportunity of going back to the Premier League which is exactly where they belong and congratulations to them,” he added.

Burrell, whose chain of stores sponsors many parish leagues in Jamaica, also vowed his company’s continued sponsorship of the Western Confederation Super League despite the harsh economic times.

Reno, by virtue of their success will now engage the champions of the three other confederations in a play-off for two spots in next season’s Digicel Premier League.

The Westmoreland-based club ended the season on 62 points, eight more than closest rivals Seba United.

But the team’s coach, Wendell Downswell, said he’s concerned with his team’s goalscoring in their last game against Montpelier, which they barely won 2-1 at Frome, but believed the team has done well overall in that department.

“We will be working on finishing. We have missed so many goals (on Sunday), but looking back at the rest of the games, we scored heavily in some of them. We have won all 11 games in the last round; and the last five games we scored more than 25 goals so finishing is not a major concern,” Downswell explained.

For their victory on Sunday substitute Tremaine Perry’s (61st minute) and Sheldon Bryan (66th minute) were the goalscorers, while another substitute Brian Brown scored for Montpelier in the 70th minute.
