With six consecutive victories under their belt, Wolmer’s Boys’ School will now be hoping to achieve lucky number seven on the biggest stage of them all — the final of the Inter-secondary Schools Sports Association (ISSA)/FLOW Super Cup.

The Heroes Circle-based team will be riding high on their underdog status to slay the giants of Montego Bay, Cornwall College, in what is expected to be an exhilarating East versus West showdown at Sabina Park today at 6:00 pm.

The 10-time Manning Cup champions are hoping to repeat the triple-crown feat of 1971 and today’s contest represents their first major assignment in that pursuit of glory.

Having made the semi-finals twice over the last two years, Wolmer’s have already surpassed expectations by making the final, but they will be seeking to go one step further to continue the Corporate Area reign in the competition.

Should they be victorious, the maroon and gold boys will join Jamaica College and St George’s College as the teams to hoist the lucrative Italian-designed trophy and pocket the $1 million grand prize.

Wolmer’s have been a model of consistency with their newfound attacking prowess coupled with some attractive and fluid passing making them a force to be reckoned with.

They advanced to this stage of the competition courtesy of a 6-0 hammering of Westmoreland-based Little London High, followed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over urban area rivals Kingston College, and a 6-5 sudden death penalty victory over rural area kingpins St Elizabeth Technical High School (STETHS) in the semi-final.

Head Coach Vassel Reynolds admitted that the gruelling schedule this season has been taking its toll on the players, but remains confident that his team will pull out all the stops.

“It would have been rewarding so far, based on what we would have achieved thus far and this year it is going one better than the previous year. If you recall the two previous years we would have reached the semi-finals and we are hoping that we can achieve the ultimate goal and that is to win the FLOW Super Cup,” he told the

Jamaica Observer.

However, when compared to their opponents who have gone some 19 games unbeaten, Wolmer’s are by no means overwhelmed, having suffered only a Walker Cup knockout defeat at the hands of Kingston College midway the season.

Though cognisant of the toughness and danger of Cornwall College, Reynolds is backing the ability of his charges to dent their opponents’ outstanding record.

“They are a tough team and we suspect that they will be at their toughest this Saturday. The results so far would support that they are the favourites and we feel very fortunate to be in such a final against such a very good team, but we feel very confident, in terms of our ability to do well,” Reynolds noted.

“I think it is two well-balanced teams and as the Cornwall coach would have said before, it might boil down to who wants it more on the day. But for us to come out victorious, every player would have to play possibly their best game of the season and we hope that performance can give us victory, so it is going to be a difficult task, but we are hoping that we will put our best foot forward,” he added.

The likes of goalkeeper Shemar Jemison, Captain Jahwani Hinds, Scott Williams and Calvin Kelly will be charged with stopping the prolific Jourdaine Fletcher, Peter-Lee Vassel and Aiden Jokomba.

Andrew Daley, Rivaldo English, Mickel Graham, Yannick Elliott and Alphanso Gooden will carry the weight of Wolmer’s midfield and attacking line.
