Petersfield FC look to fend off Sandals South Coast in derby match

Paul Clarke

Sandals South Coast and Petersfield FC square-off this afternoon in an early Westmoreland derby in the second round match of the Charley's JB Rum Western Confederation Super League at Petersfield Community Centre at 3 p.m., as both teams seek to keep a hundred per cent win record going at the other's expense.

Both teams posted identical 1-0 victories in the opening matches of the season and are among the leaders on 3 points. Sandals (formerly Sandals Whitehouse) defeated St. James champions Faulkland SC 1-0 on Sunday.

Then on Tuesday, Petersfield tagged Holland United by a similar score line to be among the early leaders in the twelve team league.

Former champions Granville FC are going after three points, after drawing their season opener 0-0 against Hopewell FC. They tackle Reggae Youths at the UDC playing field.

Over at Jarrett Park, former league winners Wadadah FC are in for another tough time, when they take on Faulkland, while Three Miles River FC battle Beaches Negril in another Westmoreland derby.

Sandals boast some serious experience, having lost in the final to Granville last season, but head coach Aaron Lawrence believes his team will not only get the better of Petersfield but also prove a touch challenge for opposing teams during the campaign.
