Following their inability to defend the Concacaf Caribbean Cup title, Cavalier FC’s Assistant Coach David Lalor has expressed the team’s determination to secure a spot in the Wray & Nephew Jamaica Premier League (JPL) final. This would pave the way for a swift return to the regional stage. The reigning back-to-back JPL champions secured a crucial 2-0 victory over Tivoli Gardens on Sunday at the Edward Seaga Sports Complex, marking their first clean sheet in six games this season. Christopher Ainsworth’s stunning free kick in the 76th minute and Jamilhio Rigters’ stoppage-time strike sealed the win. Lalor highlighted the team’s improved defensive performance and their focus on climbing the league standings. Despite their recent Caribbean Cup disappointment, where they exited at the group stage, Cavalier remains committed to reclaiming their dominance. Lalor emphasized the club’s broader goal of player development and securing opportunities for players to gain exposure. Meanwhile, Tivoli Gardens continues to struggle, with just one win in seven games this season. Head Coach Jerome Waite stressed the need for discipline and organization among his players. The team also faces emotional challenges following the resignation of long-time president Ann-Marie “Dawn” Heron. Waite remains hopeful that the players can overcome these setbacks and regain their form.
