Sept. 6-7 matchups conclude the regular season of the USVISF Men’s Premier League.
On Saturday, St. Croix’s number one-ranked CAPA will face off with Helenites SC at 4 p.m., followed by Massey SA vs LRVI FC at 7 p.m. on St. Thomas. At 4 p.m. Sunday, Rovers SC will battle Prankton SC on St. Croix. St. Thomas’s top two teams, New Vibes SC and Raymix FC, will play the final match of the weekend on Sunday at 7 p.m.
CAPA enters this crucial matchup with confidence after securing their place in the Big 4. President Harry Nelson shares, “My team is feeling really good knowing we have already qualified for the Big 4. We are just going through the motions at this time and giving some of the players who haven’t had much playing time some more to prepare for the end of the season.”
This is no indication of a slow in momentum, however. Nelson adds, “We will still be applying pressure as that’s the nature of the game and that’s how CAPA plays: high press, high tempo flair football.”
Helenites SC enters the matchup against their biggest rivals this season following a 1-1 draw against third place Rovers SC. Their approach is the usual: “Any pressure? No pressure.”
Massey SA vs LRVI FC promises competitive action on St. Thomas as the two highly physical teams look to conclude this season with a win.
New Vibes SC is feeling relaxed and confident after last weekend’s impressive 5-2 victory over LRVI FC despite starter Jordan Atemazem being benched with an injury. The team has already secured the number one position in the St. Thomas division and their spot in the Big 4.
Raymix has also secured a spot in the Big 4 as number two in the St. Thomas division and is eager to make their mark on the Men’s Premier League this weekend and in the upcoming finals.
The teams most look forward to feeding off the energy of the crowd and invite the community to fill the stands at this weekend’s games.
