Central Kingston will look to build on a winning result, while Santos FC are aiming to rebound, when both meet in the opening game of the Magnum KSAFA Super League double-header at Constant Spring Complex this evening at 6:30.

The second encounter will feature leaders Brown's Town, who are unbeaten, and fourth- place Rockfort FC. Kick-off is set for 8:30 p.m.

opening game loss

Central Kingston rebounded from an opening game loss to defeat Rockfort FC 2-1 last week, a result that puts them third in Zone B on three points. They trail Brown's Town FC, leaders with maximum six points and Boys' Town, on four. Santos FC, on the other hand, number among three other teams in the group that are tied with one point, the others being Rockfort FC and Mountain View FC.

Captain Donovan Alvaranga and Chantamoi Taylor were on target for Central Kingston when they won last week and both will be integral to their team's hopes of securing yet another victory.

For Santos, who lost out 1-0 to Boys' Town in a battle among traditional clubs with eight combined National Premier League titles, much of their hopes for a goal will be pinned on Oneeko Allen, a proven scorer at schoolboy level, where he led Manning Cup champions Kingston College to the title, plus Shai Smith and Sherton McPherson.

In the feature encounter, Brown's Town will be seeking to notch their third consecutive win. The Dwayne 'Bruckie' Blake-coached Brown's Town started with a 1-0 win against Central Kingston, and followed up with an emphatic 4-0 rout of Mountain View FC last weekend.
