WATERFORD AND Christian Pen were the toast of the Portmore Football League (PFL) Awards Ceremony at the Twin City Restaurant, Port Henderson Road on Saturday night.

Christian Pen's awards included The Genius Pharmacy mid-season crown and the Dr. Paul Robertson Knockout title. They also won two individual trophies.

Damion Williams copped the best goalkeeper award while the leading goalscorer trophy went to Jermaine Fogah, who scored 13 goals for the season.

Although Christian Pen won two team titles to Waterford's one, Waterford's prize was the biggest.

They captured the WIHCON-sponsored Portmore Division Two crown and with it a ticket to the St. Catherine Division One competition.

Waterford's Robert 'Old Feet' Powell copped the MVP award, while his teammate, Raymond Hayett, was named the best junior player.

Waterford's Linford Jones walked away with the coach of the year award.

Horace Reid, technical director of Portmore United, delivered the keynote address and lamented that the outgoing Jamaica Football Federation administration had wrecked the game in the island.

"When decisions are made, they are made by a few individuals," Reid said.

"In spite of what was said during the campaign trail leading up to 2003, and in spite of what may be said, the reality is that we still operate in a framework that doesn't provide good accountability, doesn't provide proper monitoring of our strategies and doesn't provide the kind of transparency, a word that many used before and which has disappeared off the football landscape," he said of the current administration.

no easy task

He said the new administration, which will take office next month, will have its work cut out and stressed that bringing Jamaica's football forward wouldn't be an easy task.

He was quick to add that qualifying for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa was possible but all stakeholders needed to come on board.

The top team in the municipality, Premier League outfit, Portmore United, was adjudged the most disciplined club in all competitions.

Dignitaries in attendance included Colin Fagan, Member of Parliament for South East St Catherine, Captain Horace Burrell, the soon-to-be-elected JFF president, and Peter Reid, president of the St Catherine FA.
