Cavalier’s Anderson hunts JPL double
June 09, 2023
Cavalier's Colin Anderson goes into this Sunday's Jamaica Premier League (JPL) final sitting atop the goalscorers' chart with 19 goals, one ahead of main threat Trivante Stewart of Mount Pleasant.
The forward, however, insists that he is more interested in winning the JPL title than the top scorer award, though admitting that he is also up for the Golden Boot challenge.
"No. It's (top scorer) not on my mind when I step out on the field. When I come out, I fight with this team. This team is a good team. I love this team. The best team I have ever played for. So I want to win trophies with this team. I love the spirit of the guys. It's a great team," Anderson said.
He revealed that he was motivated by Stewart's double in Cavalier's semi-final second leg and will be just as motivated for Sunday's decider in a face-off against his rival striker. Stewart played in the semi-final before and scored two goals in Mount Pleasant's triumph over Arnett Gardens.
"I'm on 19 (goals) right now, and Trivante is my friend. I really like him as a player, but I was on the top too long, not getting any challenge. So I got a challenge (Sunday), so I had to come out and deliver.
"I love football, so every time I come out, I want to deliver," he commented.
He credits his consistent form over the season to his hard work and dedication, and he believes his labour will bear fruit at the big dance on Sunday.
"I work on everything in training and come out and deliver, and I thanked myself for that. Mount Pleasant is a good team, and we have to give them credit, but this team (Cavalier) is a winning team, and every time we go out, we want to win," he said.
