MUNRO, St Elizabeth — Falmouth United secured a decisive 4-2 victory against St Bess United in a Zone B clash at Munro College this Saturday, marking their fourth consecutive triumph in the Jamaica Football Championship. This impressive performance signals a remarkable turnaround for a squad that began the season with a sluggish start, managing only a single point from their initial three matches.
The team’s offensive prowess was on full display with goals from Kayvon Donaldson, Phelan Christie, Mark Lewis, and Jordan Brown. Despite a spirited effort from the hosts, Rajay Wright and Jayquan Mitchell found the net for St Bess United but were ultimately unable to stem the tide.
In other Zone B action, the league standings continue to tighten. Humble Lion FC maintains its top position with 16 points, despite having a bye this weekend. Hot on their heels, Roaring River FC kept pressure on the leaders by securing a 2-1 win over Holland PYC. Kajaye Williams and O’Shawn Neil provided the goals for Roaring River, while a late consolation from Valentine Thompson did little to alter the outcome for Holland PYC, who suffered their fourth seasonal defeat.
Further drama unfolded as Duncans United mounted a comeback to defeat Petersfield FC 2-1. After conceding an early goal to Shamali Burley, Duncans rallied with Kamari Gordon equalizing before Kevone Jones netted a dramatic 72nd-minute winner.
Zone A witnessed its own share of excitement. Sakka Club Browns Town leads the table with 16 points, narrowly ahead of Tru-Juice FC, which squandered a two-goal advantage to settle for a 2-2 draw against a resilient Baptist Alliance. Meanwhile, the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) climbed to third place on 13 points following a commanding 2-0 victory over WiFi United, with late goals from Devontae Francis and Tevin Cheese.
The weekend was not without disruption; the fixture between Lime Hall and Meadforest FC was abandoned after 26 minutes due to a catastrophic failure of the lighting system at Drax Hall, with the scoreline locked at 0-0.
Concluding the weekend’s fixtures, Reno FC edged STETHS Elite FA 2-1 on Sunday, powered by a two-goal performance from Lennox Wright.
