Humble Lion hunt history

MARC STAMP, STAR Writer

Humble Lion hunt a crucial win against Cavalier at Effortville Community Centre in May Pen tomorrow in the Red Stripe Premier League's final sets of games in the preliminary stage.

Six games are scheduled to start 3:40 p.m. to ensure fair play.

With preliminary winners Arnett Gardens in front on 66 points, Waterhouse (57) in second and defending champions Montego Bay United (53) already assured of three of four semi-finals spots, the battle for the remaining spot lies between Humble Lion (50) and Harbour View (49).

Humble Lion need three points to be safe. Harbour View will have to beat Arnett and hope that Humble Lion does not win.

Donovan Duckie was hired by the club's chairman, Mike Henry, to save Humble Lion from relegation. He has fashioned a team that could vie for the trophy.

Veteran players such as Devon Hodges, Francois Swaby, Wolry Wolfe, as well as his brother, Kemeel, Roberto Fletcher, and Hugh Howell will come all out.

Although out of contention, Cavalier could spoil Humble Lion's party. They have in their line-up Dawyne Smith, Donovan Edwards, Chevonne Marsh, and Donovan Alvaranga.

In the other match of high interest, Harbour View will look for a win against Arnett and pray that the other result work in their favour.

At the other end of the 12-team table, Reno or Sporting Central Academy will battle against joining relegated Barbican.

That means a win for Sporting against Tivoli Gardens would ensure safety for the Clarendon team. Reno have a tall task against Montego Bay United.
