COACH Barry Watson thinks Holmwood Technical have a "real chance of winning the daCosta Cup" after many years of being one of the second-tier teams.
Despite being unbeaten all of last season, Holmwood failed to make it to the quarter-finals after drawing twice, including once against eventual champions STETHS at the inter-zone stage.
This year, Watson says the team will learn from its mistakes and the stiff competition in Zone G will be of benefit. "The competitive nature of Zone G will help prepare us for the inter-zone and onwards," he said.
A new strike force will lead Holmwood this year but returnees Miguel Coley and Landeane Morgan should lead the team with captain Dave Leung holding the back together.
