Leaders UWI and Central Kingston clash in possible Claro Major League title decider
Leaders the University of the West Indies (UWI) and second-placed Central Kingston clash in a top-of-the-table Claro KSAFA Major League encounter at the UWI Bowl at 3:30 pm in what could be a title decider in the penultimate round.

UWI assumed sole leadership on Wednesday after dispatching Olympic Gardens 4-2 in a rescheduled match and moved to 41 points, one more than long time leader Central Kingston on 40 points.

Had this been the final round the setting would be like a cup final, and it is still expected to be although the title race is not confined to these two teams alone as both Rockfort on 39 points and Police nationals on 37 are very much in the thick of things.

In their first encounter, Central Kingston emerged 2-1 winners and should be confident of repeating that performance but will find UWI a different proposition on Saturday.

UWI have rattled up an impressive eight game winning streak that including an emphatic 3-0 win over title contender Rockfort last week Saturday and are bubbling with confidence.
Based on current form, UWI start as favourites to win and seven-goal hero Andre Bernal along with Jeffrey Brown (6), Anthony Grant (4), Mickail Hewitt (3) and Oneil Fairweather (3) are expected to lead UWI’s hopes.

In the mean time third and fourth-placed teams Rockfort and Police Nationals will be hoping that both UWI and Central Kingston lose in the but that will not happen. Therefore their best bet is a draw.

If that game ends in a draw then Rockfort will be hoping to beat fifth-placed Greenwich Town and move to 42 points which would put them along side UWI at the summit.
Police National ob 37 points has two relatively easy games to conclude their season but they must first beat eighth-placed Liguanea United on 24 points.

Police will then have seventh-placed Whitfield Town next Saturday and will be hoping to finish on 43 points and hope that other results go in their favour.

All in all, the Claro KSAFA Major League look set to go to the wire in another intriguing season of football.
