Western Bureau:

Reno take a razor-thin 1-0 advantage into the return leg final of the 2012-13 Captain's Bakery and Grill Western Confederation Super League against Wadadah at Jarrett Park tomorrow, needing a draw to claim the title at their rival's expense.

In the second game of a double header, Montego Bay United (MBU) will go up against Cavalier SC in Red Stripe Premier League (RSPL) action.

MBU and Cavalier will be hunting points in a Premier League season that is already decided, but the game between rivals Reno and Wadadah remains delicately balanced and could swing either way.

"It's a decider so we have to go out there and give it our all," said Wadadah coach Daniel Ricketts.

Ricketts' side can hardly afford a draw or worse another loss, as that would give Reno the title and the right to contest the Premier League play-offs for a spot in next season's top-flight and condemn the former champions to consecutive defeats in the final.

"We have a fully fit and ready team and once we play to our strength and get the turnout from our fans, as the 12th man, I am sure we can turn it around," Ricketts said.

champions

Reno coach Michael Graham told Star Sports his players know the importance of keeping a cool head and playing compact, aggressive and determined football if they are to emerge as champions of the Super League.

"It is one of those games that can go either way," said Graham.

"But, having got the better of them twice already this season, I see no reason why we will not beat them again," said Graham.

O'Brian Woodbine, a former national player has scored two very important goals so far for the Reno outfit, one in the semi-final and the other in the first-leg final at Frome last week and could again be the difference maker.
