Defending Jackie Bell Knock-Out Champions Waterhouse FC will face out-going Red Stripe Premier League Champions, Arnett Gardens FC, in the final of KSAFA’s premier football competition this afternoon at Sabina Park, starting at 4:00pm.
Waterhouse struggled to get by Super League outfit August Town while Arnett Gardens easily disposed of premier league outfit Boys Town to advance to today’s final.
Waterhouse who have been through three coaches this season, only managed to escape relegation on the final day of the premier league season and will be hoping that the feeling of euphoria that they had on that day carries over to today’s final.
Arnett Gardens failed in their bid to defend their premier league title when they were defeated 4-3 on aggregate by Montego Bay United in the two leg semi-finals and must now pick themselves up off the floor after two goalkeeping gaffes in both legs, cost them dearly.
The experienced Jermaine “Tuffy” Anderson will lead a fairly young Waterhouse team into the final and having not played in three weeks, they may be a bit match rusty.
Arnett Gardens will hope that Vishinul Harris and Kemal Malcolm will report in the correct frame of mind to lead them passed the defending champions and grab the last piece of local silverware they can have, this season.
Both teams have won the title six times and a seventh title plus $400,000 awaits the victors.
