JPL Best and Worst
Arnett Gardens
Arnett Gardens’ 3- 1 win over Portmore United may, in the near future, be looked at as the result that saved their season and fuelled a run to a potential play-off place. That can only happen if they win their remaining three games and results bounce in their favour. They are now in ninth place with seven points and can now only accumulate a maximum of 16 points for the regular season. Whether that total will be enough to get into the play-offs remains to be seen.
Cavalier
After back-to-back draws, Cavalier took giant steps forward to confirming a place in the play-offs with a 3-1 win over Molynes United last Saturday. A Collin Anderson brace extended their unbeaten run to four games and they are now in third place on 12 points with three games to go. If they can win at least two out of the last three, it should be enough to contend for the title next month and they are within a shout of getting a first-round bye as well.
Waterhouse
Waterhouse head coach Marcel Gayle said that they were due for a return to the win column. They managed to get a crucial 2-0 win over Mount Pleasant that puts them in fifth place with 10 points with a better goal difference than Tivoli Gardens and Dunbeholden, who are also on 10 points. If Waterhouse want to secure a place in the play-offs this season, nothing less than wins in their last three games will be accepted.
Humble Lion
Somehow Humble Lion still have a chance, albeit ever so slight, to sneak into the play-offs. Their 2-0 win over Harbour View was as critical a result as they could have had in a season that has been challenging for head coach Andrew Price in his second year. Their Saturday fixture against Dunbeholden will be the one that could decide their season. While they would need help from elsewhere, they have to take care of their own business. Anything less than three points and they will be mathematically out of the play-offs.
