THREE MILES RIVER, Westmoreland — Reggae Youths have put themselves in a good position from which to qualify for their first-ever mid-season final in the Jamaica Football Federation Western Confederation Charlie’s JB Rum Super League after beating promoted Three Miles River 4-0 on Tuesday to take over the lead in Zone One.

O’Carey Spence scored twice (45th and 56th minutes) to take his league-leading goal tally to eight and Santino Grinnion (37th) also got two for the St James team as they improved to 18 points, three more than second-placed Clark’s Town with one round of matches to be played this weekend.

It was the second win for Reggae Youths over Three Miles River who are yet to concede a goal against the Westmoreland team.
