Andrew Fraser, assistant coach of Dunbeholden FC, said he is very pleased with his team's 0-0 away draw against Barbican in their Magnum/Charley's JB Jamaica Football Federation Premier League play-off game at the Barbican Field yesterday.

Dunbeholden, who are South-Central Super League champions, remain second with four points on goal difference in the four-team play-off with leaders Barbican, after two rounds of matches.

Mount Pleasant Football Academy move up to third in the table following their 1-0 victory over Wadadah, who are still without a point in the competition.

Fraser said they are very happy for the point, especially playing away from home.

"I am not disappointed with the result, because we came here for the draw and we got it, so we are happy for that," said Fraser.

"I think we played pretty well because we played according to the game plan and we are pleased with that," he said.

Barbican ended with the game with ten men after captain Ramone McGregor was send off in the 81st minute after picking up a second yellow card.

However, Dunbeholden failed to capitalise on the one man advantage, as faulty shooting from their attackers let them down.

Wayne Campbell, coach of Barbican, said he pleased with the result.

"We got three points on the road on Sunday, so we are still going according to plan. Four points from two games, we are still top of the zone," said Campbell.

"It is more relief than anything else, having gone down to 10 men, because we came under a bit of pressure. We had a bit of luck there when that ball hit the upright from a shot by one of the Dunbeholden players, so on the balance of things, a point is really a good result for us," he said.
