St. Paul’s are looking to three-peat the premier league title as they have done for the FA Cup and President’s Cup.

At a pre-match press conference on Thursday at Warner Park, players and representatives of both teams spoke with confidence ahead of their match. St. Paul’s Assistant Manager Austin Lewis encouraged fans to come out in their numbers to support their teams.

“I would like to ask the fans of both teams to come out and support your club to the fullest. As simple as we may see it, each time we go there we put our lives at risk to entertain you guys. So let us come out and support our teams respectfully and at the end of the day football be the winner,” Lewis said., player Jamal Jeffers and Village’s President MJ Byron and Coach Steven Clarke. St. Paul’s Captain Jamal Jeffers spoke about the level of training his teammates endue as the secret to their success. “We look out for each other like nobody’s business,” he said.

Meanwhile, Village Superstars President MJ Byron said his team is on a mission to stop St. Paul’s from winning a third consecutive Premier League title. “As you know, we are trying to stop the three-peat.
