SUPER SIX FINALS SERIES KICKS OFF SATURDAY
The battle line has been drawn for the SKNFA Premier League Finals: Rams Village Superstars
up against defending champions SL Horfords St. Paul’s United. St. Paul’s are looking to three-
peat the premier league title as they have done for the FA Cup and President’s Cup. But Village
Superstars are looking to stop that run, after going on an unbeaten run to the finals in the Super
Six playoff thus far and an excellent streak in round 2 of the premier league. Now both teams
will duke for the coveted title and the grand prize of $50,000, starting on Saturday at 8 pm at the
Warner Park. At a pre-match press conference on Thursday at Warner Park, players and
representatives of both teams spoke with confidence ahead of their match. St. Paul’s Assistant
Manager Austin Lewis encouraged fans to come out in their numbers to support their teams.
“I would like to ask the fans of both teams to come out and support your club to the fullest. As
simple as we may see it, each time we go there we put our lives at risk to entertain you guys. So
let us come out and support our teams respectfully and at the end of the day football be the
winner,” Lewis said., player Jamal Jeffers and Village’s President MJ Byron and Coach Steven
Clarke. St. Paul’s Captain Jamal Jeffers spoke about the level of training his teammates endue as
the secret to their success. “We look out for each other like nobody’s business,” he said.
Meanwhile, Village Superstars President MJ Byron said his team is on a mission to stop St.
Paul’s from winning a third consecutive Premier League title. “As you know, we are trying to
stop the three-peat. Nobody has ever three-peated in the SKNFA (Premier League) yet and it
surely won’t happen with Village Superstars in the finals. So that is our stance and our goal
coming this weekend,” he said.
Coach Steven Clarke, believes Village Superstars is overdue a championship and now is the time
to win. “It’s been quite overdue now since Village last won the championship. And for a caliber
club as Village Suprsars, we don’t normally wait that long,” Clarke said. He encouraged fans to
come out and bring their “noisemakers” and show their support for their teams. Game two will
be on Tuesday and if necessary game three on Friday, September 29 both at 8 p.m. at the Warner
Park.
