Lime Hall, Humble Lion seek consecutive wins in JFF Championship

Lime Hall Academy and Humble Lion FC will be going after three-straight wins when the Jamaica Football Championship continues with a full slate of eight games across the two zones.

Lime Hall, who sat out Wednesday’s round of matches, lead Zone A on goal-difference over fellow St Ann-based Sakka Club Browns Town. Lime Hall will hope to extend their perfect win record when they host Baptist Alliance in the first game of a double header at Drax Hall, set to kick off at 1:30 pm.

Humble Lion FC have won their last two games after being held 1-1 in their opening game against Duncans United. Humble Lion will take on a depleted Falmouth United at Effortville Community Centre, starting at 3:30 pm.

Newcomers Roaring River FC and STETHS Elite will both hope to maintain their unbeaten records when they face off at Llandilo Sports Complex.

Lime Hall Academy are up against Baptist Alliance who are coming off their first win of the season.

Sajay Anderson will be hoping to pick up where he left off after scoring a late double in their 6-1 win over Progressive FC, while Carlos Campbell has also scored two goals.

Humble Lion FC could be seen as ‘Hungry Lions’ as they will go up against a Falmouth United team that will be without up to four players from the team that lost to Roaring River in a contentious finish on Wednesday.

Mark Lewis and captain Ziddanne Francis were sent off within minutes of each other in time added on on Wednesday, while Phelan Christie was shown a red card as he exchanged words with the officials after the game.

Falmouth United have lost back-to-back games after drawing their opening game 2-2 against STETHS Elite. Falmouth United could struggle against a confident Humble Lion FC who are eyeing an immediate return to the Premier League.

The Clarendon-based club will be hoping Nathaniel Henry, who scored a hat-trick against St Bess United on Wednesday, will continue his good form.

One point separates Roaring River, who have played three games, and STETHS Elite, who have played two, with both scoring four goals and conceding three.

Roaring River had some luck on Wednesday and will hope fortune will be on their side again as they face a team that has proven goalscorers in Timmari Roach.

Sakka Club Browns Town could be tested when they take on a Jamaica Defence Force team coming off a big 5-0 win over Grays Inn after losing their first two games by 1-0 margins.

Reno FC will be searching for consecutive wins when they face Duncans United at the Trelawny Multi-purpose Stadium. The hosts are still looking for their first win of the season.

A Portland derby will take centre stage at Carder Park, with Progressive FC clashing with WiFi United.

WiFi United are on four points, with Progressive yet to open their account after two losses in a row.
