COOPERS PEN, Trelawny — Coopers Pen have secured the number one spot in the semi-finals of the Trelawny Football Association Monymusk Plantation Rum Major League after avenging their mid-season loss at Spicy Hill with a 2-0 win in their third-round, cross-zone game on Sunday.

Coopers Pen’s 12th win in 14 games this season took them to 37 points, 11 more than their closest opponents, and have locked up the top spot in the semi-finals with two sets of games still to be played.
