Title on the line!
FROME, Westmoreland – Tomorrow’s People will be seeking back-to-back mid-season titles in the Jamaica Football Federation’s Captain’s Bakery and Grill Western Confederation Super League when they take on Reno FC in the finals set for Sunday at the Frome Sports Grounds, starting at 3:00pm.
Reno FC, last season’s beaten finalists and Tomorrow’s People topped the points tables after the first round and earned the right to meet in the consolation finals.
Despite picking up just one point from their last two games, Reno topped the standings with 23 points from their 11 games, two more than Tomorrow’s People, who edged Savannah SC on goal difference after both ended on 21 points.
Promoted Sandals White house are in fourth place on 19 points followed by Granville United-17 points, Wadadah FC and Holland United- 16 points each, Village United- 11 points, Lucea FC and Norwood Strikers, eight points each, and Duanvale FC has seven points.
Both teams will go into Sunday’s game without having won on the field in their last two games; Reno were held 0-0 by defending champions Wadadah FC on Sunday after losing their previous game to Savannah SC.
Tomorrow’s People were awarded points when Holland United showed up without their gear on Sunday after playing out a 0-0 draw with Granville the previous round.
Both teams that have combined for 54 goals are expected to be ready for the game. But Reno FC will go into the game with the psychological advantage after beating Tomorrow’s People 2-0 in their meeting in the second round.
With the exception of their 0-0 draw at Granville, Tomorrow’s People have been on a scoring tear with 17 goals coming in their previous four games- more than any other team over the period.
The consistent Donville Cornwall will lead the Tomorrow’s People charge and has nine goals so far, tied with Reno’s Denmark Gillings.
The newly acquired Curtis Palmer will give Tomorrow’s People some depth in their attack.
Craig Foster, Delano Rankine and Junior Neil will be Gillings’ strike partners for Reno FC as they seek their first trophy of the season and a boost for the second round that is set to get underway next week.
If the game ends in a tie, tie- breakers will be used to decide a winner. If the game is tied at the end of regulation time, two periods of extra time will be played, and if the scores are still tied the teams will go to penalty kicks.
