Mount Pleasant FA, with their place in the semifinals of the Wray and Nephew Jamaica Premier League already confirmed, will on Thursday aim to guarantee their spot at the top of the regular-season standings when they face third-place Arnett Gardens.
The rescheduled match, which kicks off at 7:30 PM at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex, sees Mount Pleasant lead the table with 81 points—an impressive 9-point cushion over second-place Montego Bay United. With two games in hand, victory would extend their lead to 12 points, putting them in an even stronger position to claim the top spot with just three matches left before the fixtures are completed.
Meanwhile, Arnett Gardens, who currently sit in third place, will be aiming for more than just a strong performance. A win would bring them within two points of Montego Bay United, significantly boosting their chances of securing an automatic semifinal berth.
The action-packed evening kicks off at 5:00 PM with a rescheduled clash between defending champions Cavalier and Racing United. Cavalier, currently in 5th place with 57 points, will be looking to bounce back after dropping points in a 2-2 draw with Harbour View. Racing United, sitting in 8th place with 48 points, are just four points behind 6th-place Waterhouse, who currently occupy the final playoff spot.
