DRAWING a biblical reference to express his delight in the abundance of talent he has at his disposal Rudolph Speid, head coach of Cavalier Soccer Club, stated that his team is heading in the right direction after they registered their third victory in four games in the Jamaica Premier League yesterday. "The Lord is my shepherd, (players) I shall not want. Last year at this point we were about 10th and struggling, so this time we're more consistent and are able to rotate.
I think this year we're in good stead and are heading in the right direction," Speid said. Cavalier sunk Dunbeholden to their third straight defeat of the season as they got by their opponents 4-1, after conceding a goal in the fifth minute courtesy of a superb header by Fakibi Farquharson. That wake-up call prompted Cavalier to register two first-half goals which came via Shaquille Stein and Christopher Ainsworth in the 32nd minute and time added, respectively.
Cavalier then started the second half in the same fashion as they ended the first, as the in-form Jalmaro Calvin made it 3-1 in the 53rd minute on the back of a classic counter attack, which saw him calmly slotting the ball in the far corner. The closest Dunbeholden came to getting a second goal on the evening would present itself in the 58th minute through a Farquharson free kick which smashed against the post. As Cavalier kept their feet on the gas pedal, substitute Kalie Auvray failed to convert from the penalty spot in the 84th minute.
That disap.
