Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) go up against Circus Circle hoping to maintain their unbeaten season. The match will be played tomorrow afternoon at the Mona Hockey Field, starting at 4:30 pm.

The soldiers, who are the defending champions have not lost a game this season and they are going all out to win and win convincingly, despite already being crowned champions. Coach Major Radcliffe Barrett, informed that the team has been playing extremely well this season and want to end with a flourish.

“It would be more joyous and important to come out with a win instead of losing, despite having won the title already, prior to our final match.”

“The team is quite a young one but still has a few regular seasoned campaigners who have been playing for many years for the soldiers, and are holding their own nicely,” Major Barrett said.

Major Barrett said the team has drawn five matches, twice against former many-time champions Raiders United, against Munro College Old Boys, and the University of the West Indies.

“Our intentions are to go all out for a win, and already we are a confident aggregation, despite playing without two of our key players but nevertheless, we have won without them already,” said Major Barrett.

He said the soldiers have beaten Circus Circle 4-1 in their first meeting and are likely to win convincingly with forwards Jerome Davis and Oneil Salmon playing well together. The JDF coach added that the defenders can hold their own well, and he is looking for a good performance from the entire team.
