The first title of the 2018\/2019 JFF\nCharley\u2019s JB Rum Western CONFED Super League will be decided on Sunday,\nFebruary 17, with Wadadah meeting Faulkland in the showdown set for Jarrett\nPark beginning at 6 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wadadah and\nFaulkland earned the right to meet each other after finishing top of their\nrespective zones following the completion of the opening two rounds of the preliminary\nround.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defending League\nchampions Wadadah punched the second and final slot and earned the right to\nbattle early qualifiers Faulkland after sealing a confrontational 2-1 victory\nover Hopewell at UDC yesterday, Tuesday, February 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veteran Kemario\nJames and Denyu Ricketts, with an exquisite flick at the near post in the 28th,\nand 56th minutes, were the scorers for the Wadadah team, who operated without\ncoach Daniel Ricketts on the sidelines due to personal reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Barrington Chambers\non the hour mark, responded for the Hopewell team midway the second half,\nforcing a scrambled finish in the contest which saw both teams ending with ten\nplayers following the expulsion of Hopewell goalkeeper Darren Tummings and\nWadadah substitute striker Obrian Robinson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two had to be\nseparated after throwing blows in the affair which disintegrated through\nvicious tackles and wretched officiating from the man in the middle, referee\nAndre Farquharson.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wadadah with the\nwin also exacted revenge on their opponents who defeated them 1-0 in their\nfirst round meeting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also extended\nWadadah\u2019s unbeaten run to five games improving their points tally to 24. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopewell did enough\nto have at least walked away with a point in the game, but calls for a late\npenalty were waved off despite an obvious foul on the visiting attacker inside\nthe penalty area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both Wadadah\u2019s\ngoals came from corner kicks with James ghosting in for the first to scramble\nhome in on the bounce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ricketts then\nflicked a cheeky shot which squeezed between the post and the goalkeeper to\ngive Wadadah the cushion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hopewell lacked\nmuch penetration with most of their attacks centred in and around the middle of\nthe park, but for the here and there \nfree kicks just outside the penalty area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

FAULKLAND EXPLOSION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other games\nplayed on the day, last year\u2019s beaten finalists and overwhelming favourites\nFaulkland exploded for five, dimming the lights of Lucea 5-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eccentric schoolboy\nstandout, Ewan Barton debuting for the club, opened up with a hat-trick in the\n28th, 30th and 53rd minutes, while Rasheed Brown and Renaldo McLish added the\nothers.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 Granville meanwhile conceded a late 86th\nminute penalty and had to settle for a 1-1 draw away to the much-improved\nSomerton at Dumfries Community Centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The former\nchampions and many times semi-finalists went ahead after 4 minutes through an\nown-goal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other games\nplayed on the weekend Grand Palladium extended Delveland Police Youth Club\u2019s\nwinless run with a 3-2 beating through goals by Omar Martin, Robert Minto and\nSheldon Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delroy Davis and\nJunior Neil in time added on (90+5) found the back of the net in Sandals South\nCoast\u2019s 2-0 win over Harmony.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Falmouth United\nalso had a big scoring day, putting five unanswered goals past lowly Reggae\nYouths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Veteran striker and\nformer Premier League hotshot Allan Ottey, with a double, 21st, 23rd and 80th\nminutes and two own-goals, accounted for the scorers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
