SANTA CRUZ:

Last Sunday's postponed St. Elizabeth Wray and Nephew Major League final between Holland Police Youth Club and Black River United will be played tomorrow at 3:00 p.m.

The venue will be Appleton Estates ground and both coaches - Clive Thompson of Black River and Orlando Campbell of Holland - are confident.

In the first-leg final played at the St. Elizabeth Technical Sports complex in Santa Cruz two Sundays ago, Sadic Spencer gave the mid-season champions Holland a 1-0 advantage.However, Thompson is confident that they can overcome the 1-0 margin.

"We are hoping to erase the slim deficit and take the championship," said Thompson.

Campbell, on the other hand, maintained his argument from the first leg.

"We were quite comfortable with the 1-0 win but come Sunday, our key striker, Edroy Barrett, who got a one-match suspension, will be back and he will finish the work for us," Campbell said.

The winners of this year's competition will walk away with $121,000 along with the Wray and Nephew Trophy while the runners-up will take home $80,000.
