Howard Walker, Staff ReporterFORMER FOOTBALL kingpins Cavalier travel to Duhaney Park in a top-of-the-table clash as round 14 of the Jamaica National/KSAFA Major League continues today with five games.
The scheduled game between Cooreville Gardens and Rockfort has been postponed.
Cavalier currently sit atop the 12-team Major League standings and a win today would go a far way in their push back to top-flight football.
The black and white-clad Cavalier once ruled the roost in the early '80s and Rudolph Speid, player/coach, thinks this year is the start of that journey back to Premier League football.
Cavalier have 30 points from 13 games - comprising nine wins, three draws and one defeat - and the best record in both the Super and Major Leagues.
They are four points ahead of second-placed Duhaney Park, who in turn are four points ahead of third placed Pembroke Hall.
With seven rounds to go, Cavalier look set to be in the final push for a Super League spot and within another year could be in the National Premier League (NPL).
KEY PLAYERS
In Demetri Billet, Jermaine Rowe, Bernard Blackwood, Ricardo Burke, Everdean Scarlett, Dwayne Thompson and Jermaine Campbell, Cavalier should prove too good for Duhaney Park.
However, the only time Cavalier lost this season was 1-0 to Duhaney Park and the Scott brothers, Livingston and Jermaine, Ricardo Lee and Dwight Gordon should make it a difficult day for Cavalier.
Six games are on in the JN/KSAFA Super League as youthful Meadhaven try to extend their two-point lead in a tightly-contested competition.
The David Hunt-coached outfit, with the core of the all-conquering Calabar schoolboy team, should secure their ninth victory of the season at the expense of Mountain View.
Meadhaven head the table with 27 points from 13 games and should prove too much for seventh-placed Mountain View.
Second-placed Santos, on 25 points, also another former kingpin, are hell bent on returning to the NPL after several failed attempts and should see off a struggling Rae Town team lying second from bottom on 11 points.
Third-placed August Town, on 24 points, are just three points behind the leaders but have a tough assignment against sixth-placed JDF and cannot afford to slip up.
Maverley/Hughenden, in fifth position on 21 points, should rebound from a Red Stripe Champions Cup 6-0 drubbing from Tivoli, with a win over cellar team Shortwood United, who have only four points from 13 games and a solitary win.
The Police National/Bull Bay encounter could go either way as is the same with Greenwich Town and Barbican.
