Molynes go for another top scalp in RSPL
Molynes United will be seeking to
continue their good start to the Red Stripe Premier League (RSPL) football
competition on Sunday when they battle UWI at Drewsland at 3:30 p.m.
The competition’s newcomers trounced
defending champions Portmore 3-0 away at Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex in
their debut match and now have UWI in their crosshair as they aim to make it
two wins from as many starts.
The margin of victory by Molynes has
them in second position in the points standing, which is led by UWI, who
thumped Tivoli Gardens 4-0 in their opening encounter at Mona Bowl.
An interesting match looms at
Drewsland, which is the home of Premier League giants Waterhouse, but is being
used for matches by Molynes because they are without a venue that suits the
requirements of the island’s top-flight competition.
Molynes will be relying on the
veteran Devon Hodges to help them to victory as he did last week when he scored
the final goal in their 3-0 victory. It was Ryan Brown’s brace that started
Molynes’ winning charge.
While UWI were convincing in their
victory, they had a quartet of players that contributed with Jabari Hylton,
Shuwayne Barrett, Thorn Thompson and Trivonte Stewart all finding the back of
the net. They will be looking to repeat the feat again against Molynes United.
Meanwhile, another interesting match
beckons at the Edward Seaga Sports Complex, where hosts Tivoli Gardens will
battle Arnett Gardens also starting at 3:30 p.m.
It is a derby match, which brings out
the best in both teams with tough and exciting football expected to be played.
The contest is usually very tight despite where they are in the points
standing.
