Mount Pleasant Football Academy has emerged as a formidable contender in the Concacaf Caribbean Cup, securing a flawless group stage performance with a 2-0 victory over O&M of the Dominican Republic. Despite this achievement, Head Coach Theodore Whitmore remains focused on the challenges ahead as the team aims for its first championship title. The St Ann-based club finished Group A with a perfect record of 12 points, six clear of their closest rivals, thanks to goals from Gadail Irving and Ranaldo Biggs. This marks a significant turnaround for the 2023 Jamaica Premier League champions, who struggled in their debut 2024 tournament. Whitmore praised his team’s professionalism and defensive solidity, having not conceded a goal in their last four matches. However, he emphasized the need for continuous improvement and consistency as they prepare for the semi-finals, set to begin on October 21. Whitmore highlighted the importance of squad management, particularly with the team competing in both local and regional tournaments. Mount Pleasant joins defending champions Cavalier FC and Harbour View as the third Jamaican team to reach the Caribbean Cup semi-finals, underscoring their growing dominance in regional football.
