The two teams will face each other on Sunday, November 6, from 18:00 hrs at the Ministry of Education Ground while President’s College and Cummings Lodge collide in the match that precedes from 16:00 hrs.

Yesterday, the captains and coaches of those two sides met in a pre-match conference to speak of their preparations and expectations for the much anticipated showdown.

Currently, CWSS are on top of the League with 15 points from five wins and a loss, while Golden Grove, on 14 points, have four wins and two draws. President’s College are fourth on 11 points, while Cummings Lodge sits in fifth with nine points.

For the remainder of the teams, Dolphin (11) are third, North Ruimveldt (10) – sixth, West Ruimveldt (1) are in seventh and Friendship (0) finished eighth.

Since both CWSS and Golden Grove are clearly ahead of the remainder of the League, they have already qualified for the KFC Goodwill Tournament, which will be contested later this month.

Coach of the Linden side, Dellon Peters, stated that his side has done exceptionally in the tournament thus far even though more was expected of them. Apart from the blemish that saw CWSS concede the only defeat of their campaign to North Ruimveldt, the squad has performed flawlessly.
