Coach

Paul ‘Tegat’ Davis is looking to fortify Drax Hall with visiting Red Stripe

Premier League teams fearing facing Mount Pleasant Football Academy on their

home turf.

Davis,

a formidable former national striker, who took charge of Mount Pleasant when

Donovan Duckie was fired after one game into the new the season will have to

work hard to change the fortunes of Mount Pleasant on their home turf.

Mount

Pleasant, playing in their single season in the Premier RSPL, gained identical

points away as they did at home, which goes against the norm, as top teams

usually accumulate more points at home.

Davis

is uncomfortable with that.

He

said, “home is where we want to stamp our class. We want to make Drax Hall into

a fortress. We lost our first game there so we are going to have to make a big

difference to the fans.”

Asked

about Mount Pleasant not having a good home record, Davis said, “that’s what

people say, but if that is the case, we plan to change that. We are going to

use psychology and football to change it.”

According

to Davis, he will be fans’ interaction to motivate the players into changing

Mount Pleasant’s fortunes at Drax Hall.

Mount

Pleasant, despite not having a superior home record last season, managed to

finish third in the preliminary round points standing with 60 points and

reached the semi-finals of the tournament.

In

their opening match this season, Mount Pleasant lost to Harbour View 2-1 at

Drax Hall before travelling to Effortville Community Centre and drew 1-1 with

Humble Lion last Sunday.

Davis

will get his first chance to accomplish his mission when Mount Pleasant tackle

Tivoli Gardens at Drax Hall on Sunday, starting at 4:00 pm.
