Fogo, ‘Kickers’ seek to extend good run
MONTEGO BAY, St James — Zone leaders Fogo United and Violet Kickers will this afternoon seek to extend their advantages when they take on Montego Bay United Under-21 and Little Miami, respectively, as the second round of the St James Football Association Sandals/ATL/Honda Senior League continues with a triple-header at Jarrett Park.
Fogo United lead Zone A by a point ahead of Reggae Youths on 14, seven more than Montego Bay United who are last-placed, while Violet Kickers lead Zone B with 15 points, six more than their opponents tonight.
In the third game of the evening, Lilliput Rovers and Salt Spring, both on six points at the bottom of Zone B, will meet as Lilliput hope to repeat their first round 1-0 win.
In the 3:00 pm opening game, Fogo United, who won the first round game 1-0, are unbeaten in their last six games, winning five of those to take control of the zone.
Fogo United, who have won the title twice in the recent past, have won their last two games by 2-1 margins, while Montego Bay United Under-21 have drawn three and won one of their last four games, but are rooted at the bottom of the tables.
Violet Kickers, the only unbeaten team in the competition, had won their first-round game against Little Miami 3-2 but will face a more confident opposition today, coming off a 4-0 whipping of Revelation FC last week and have worked their way into fourth place, a point behind third-placed Revelation FC and two points behind second-placed Seba FC.
A win for Little Miami would see them take over second place, but would still trail Violet Kickers by four points with a game in hand.
