Frazsiers Whip inches closer to early semi-final qualification
DEFENDING champions and leaders Frazsiers Whip have all but secured their places in the semi-finals of the Jamaica Women’s Premier League with seven games still to be played, after beating Los Perfectos FC 2-0 at Brooks Park on Saturday.
This was Frazsiers Whip’s 13th-straight win, which took them to 39 points, seven more than second-placed Cavalier who beat UWI Women’s FC 4-1 at the UWI Mona Bowl, with Los Perfectos on 27 points and Arnett Gardens rounding out the top four on 26 points.
It would take a complete breakdown over the next seven games for Frazsiers Whip to be denied at least fourth place in the final standings.
