FALMOUTH, Trelawny — Defending champions Salt Marsh United will travel to Unity Grounds today to face Bunkers Hill So Fresh in the final game of the first round of the Trelawny Football Association Knock-Out, set to start at 3:00 pm.
Salt Marsh are the third Western Confederation Super League team in the competition and are expected to advance despite a slump in their performance in the Super League.

Garfield Stewart had given Rio Bueno the lead in the 34th minute, but Kemar Newman levelled for Holland United in the 73rd minute.
In the shootout, Tino Benjamin, Newman, Dean-Lloyd Reid and Ronique Haynes scored for Holland, while Kemar Hylton and Kevardo Grant were successful for Rio Bueno.
The game between Daniel Town and Coopers Pen also went to penalty kicks after they ended 2-2 before Daniel Town won 5-4 in sudden-death penalties.
Kemar Harris gave Daniel Town the lead after 36 minutes, but Kevon Noble equalised a minute later before Christopher Noble gave them the lead in the 76th minute.
