WATERHOUSE AND Boys' Town are oozing with confidence about capturing the $350,000 first prize in the 18th staging of the Western Union KSAFA Jackie Bell Knockout final at the National Stadium starting at 5:00 p.m.
Waterhouse will be hunting their fifth lien on the coveted trophy in 10 years following victories in 1996, 1997, 2001 and 2002, while Boys' Town will be eager to etch their name on the trophy for the first time.
Waterhouse entered the competition at the quarter-final stage after being seeded and knocked off Cavalier 1-0 before edging Harbour View 1-0 in the semi-finals.
WATERHOUSE CONFIDENT
Wayne Fairclough, coach of Waterhouse, said the players are confident of victory, but is expecting a tough match.
"It will be an interesting affair because Boys' Town do not lose finals per se. Their percentage rate is high, so Waterhouse must go out there and play for 90 minutes irrespective of the team they field," he analysed. "The camp is in a pretty good mood, they are ready and raring to go and they are very confident."
"Boys' Town have the heart of a lion and when you are playing them you need to play until the final whistle," said Fairclough, who was voted Coach of the Month for December.
Boy's Town, who are having a reasonable season, knocked off Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) 3-0 in the first round at Up Park Camp.
They then went to the Edward Seaga Stadium and got the better of Tivoli Gardens 5-4 on penalties, after playing to a 2-2 draw.
Last week, the Red Brigade turned back Constant Spring 1-0 courtesy of a Fitzroy Anglin penalty.
BOYS' TOWN SET
Andrew Price, technical director, said the team is ready to rumble in the National Stadium.
"One thing I can tell you, my team is ready. It's the last opportunity for a silverware. Every team we give a good fight and it won't be any different this Sunday," Price said. "The two games we played against them previously were close and ended in draws. The third game we had serious problems with injuries and selection was limited. To beat Waterhouse, you've to concentrate for 90 minutes and I expect my team to play 90 minutes," said Price.
Waterhouse and Boys' Town have met three times for the season with Waterhouse winning one and the others ending in draws.
On October 30, 2005, the teams played to a 0-0 draw and on January 12 they fought out a 2-2 tie. The deadlock was broken on February 2 with Waterhouse emerging 2-0 victors.
Both teams will be reporting at full strength and an exciting match is in the making. It will take a mercurial effort from the Red Brigade to cool the red hot 'Firehouse' the team of the moment.
The hard-kicking George Vernal, Fitzroy Anglin, Michael Campbell, Fabian Watkins, the industrious Marvin Morgan, Xavean Virgo and Kirk Porter will have to be at their best to upset Waterhouse.
Waterhouse, with the premier league's top marksman, Kevin Lamey, alongside big occasion player Jomo Gordon, the skilful Demar Phillips, Vincent Earle, Roberto Fletcher, Irvino English, the hard-working Oneil Robinson and Craig White could prove too much for Boys' Town.
