 Welcome to another edition of JPL in 30, the highlights show for the Jamaica Premier League with just a handful of games to go before the playoffs, five teams solidify their positions in that playoff race with two of those teams, Portmore United and Cavalier, featuring the first of our double-header highlights. Let's check out how both renal contenders fared. Portmore in their full blow with Red Trim doing some defending, Cavalier shows a better energy in the first moments. Kyle Ming with the strike was going well wide and probably would have picked out a teammate at the back post. And then this moment for Martin Davis hesitated with the shot, pulled it back, and then this decision was the wrong one when Alex Marshall was free on the penalty spot. What Alex Marshall didn't know is that he would have another chance from the penalty spot. A minute later, but then Shanil Thomas cut on to his left-hand side. He was leading the attack for the Cavalier team. And then this moment, Steven Barnett bundled over into the box, and Alexis Perri points into the spot. Rightful penalty for Portmore, and Alex Marshall made no mistake, sent JD right the wrong way. And his left foot made no mistake. Third of the season, one nil Portmore after 36 minutes. This was the second half, the first minute of it, and Kadeel Irving, the captain of Cavalier, hitting the crossbar. They would find the frame three or four occasions. This moment inside the area, Davis just couldn't organize himself. His footwork wasn't the best, Davis, and his head couldn't find the right direction. Then this on the edge of the area, Howard letting fly just wide as Portmore continued to attack. Then Cavalier finding this opportunity, McCleary with the strike initially. The captain Irving driving into there, McCleary again, and then Calvin finding the frame of the goal for the second time, Cavalier. Calvin, their leading goalscorer, had the beating of Williams, but not the goal. Post. And it remained one nil. Then Portmore driving into the area, Alex Marshall looking for a second of the game couldn't find the target over the top for the Portmore captain. A last minute opportunity for McCleary, heading it over Williams, but again for the third time, the crossbar. Then letting fly Tyrone Williams probably was missing the target and Williams was making sure a clean sheet for him, and a big three points for Portmore United. One nil over Cavalier. Portmore United, one nil winners. Let's talk to a man of the match, the captain, the goal scorer, Alex Marshall. Yeah, today's man of the match, Alex Marshall, captain for today as well. You got the pivotal goal, but you did a lot of work off the ball also. How do you describe your performance? You know, it wasn't the best performance for myself, but you know, I helped my team defensive, so I'm grateful for that. And we got the three points, you know. Congrats to my teammates as well and the coaching staff. You know, you've been drawing a lot of games lately, but I'm sure this win has given you a lot of confidence beating a big Cavalier team, especially going into the playoffs. Yeah, you know, it's always good to be Cavalier, you know. Tough opponent, you know. They got a few chances, which could have, the game could have went either way, but you know, thanks to our goalkeepers and our defender, you know, we kept a clean sheet. And you're seen as a talisman for this team rightfully, so a player of your quality. What, how far do you think this Portmore United team can go? Are you eyeing the title? Yeah, we're eyeing, you know, the title, but you know, we want to get back into the CFU and that's the aim right now, but you know, we're just taking it one game at a time and hopefully being the top two are, you know, a chance for the playoffs. Excellent performance today. Great win also. Best of luck for this season. Yes, thank you. The win for Portmore United see them jump in third place in the standings, whilst condemning Cavalier to their second straight loss as they sit in fifth place. We take our first break here on JVL in 30. Stay with us for more right after the break. In 30, the second match of Monday's double header saw home side Arnett Cardi hunting back-to-back wins. The strike hit in the upright. Jaheem Thomas, he had an excellent probably just tipped at the end of it for the man of the match award. A fever chambers after nine minutes, put Humberline ahead. Against the runner play, you'd have to say acrobatic finish and Giovanni picking up the assist. And what a big lead it was for Humberline at that point. Fabian Reed had his chances. Looking to flick it over, couldn't do it. And then Kelsen, what a game he had. Rashiki Kelsen, pulling that one all towards the back post and disappointed that his teammate couldn't find the finish. Then this, putting it through the salad of the Humberline defense line, and Rick Gordon, the recipient. But his delivery to Fabian Reed found the arm of the Arnett captain and the goal was disallowed. This one certainly counted. Shavonny Willis rising high to not down at Joel Jones' cross. And Arnett finally found their equalizer. This was in a 39th minute good finish by Shavonny Willis. He had an outstanding game, especially in that first half. We fizzed some really brilliant 30-yard crossfield passes. Jaheem Thomas with another potent strike, which was well saved by Barnes. Twice he hit the woodwork. Jaheem Thomas. And Arnett, they just kept coming. Here's another hit of the woodwork. This time it was from Shea Smith, the outside of it. And he missed his opportunity. He would later be substituted. Arnett would find their second. And this time no woodwork from Jaheem Thomas. Nice pass from Kelsen, who deserved the assist. And Thomas is pulling that beyond goalkeeper Barnes and into the back of the net. His fifth of the season. And Arnett goes with the 2-1 lead at the start of the second half. Humberlain had a free kick. Vanzi, comfortably over the bar. But Arnett, they were just too good. Kimani Arbonne came on as a substitute and produced this for Fabian Reed. Still has the pace in the legs, Fabian Reed. Pulling away, cutting in front of the defense line. And look at that for a finish with the left foot. It looks easy, but it certainly wasn't. Clinical finish by the seasoned striker. And they had the choreography and the dance moves as well to celebrate. Arnett Gans, but they weren't finished. They were hungry for more goals and a rise in the table. Fabian Reed freezing the defense. And oh, wow. Look at that finish. Just opened up his body so well. Look at this here. Just a staggered movement to freeze the defender. Pushed it through his legs. And Barnes had no chance. He was so exposed. What a finish. Second of the game for him. And Arnett Gans were three. Four one up at that point. The best was saved for last. Shavone Willis from the dead ball. Some 35 yards. Oh, look at that for technique. Barnes had full stretch and couldn't get close. Willis with a brace. His first two goals of the season. And Arnett with a 5-1 performance. Lige Williams is with our man of the match. It just had to be that man from the 35-yard mark. Shavone Willis at the mic. Yeah, I'm here today with Shavone Willis. Today's man of the match. He scored two goals today, but there's no doubt which one was your favorite. It has to be the free kick. It has to be the free kick. I've been practicing these free kicks every day after practice. So one day, one day, one more score up in tonight. And you practice free kicks. You practice those passes across the field as well? No, that's a natural thing. I think God bless me with that. So it's become easy for me to do it. A high five performance by playoff-bound side Arnett Gardens who picked up your 13th win of the season. While Humbleland continued to find the going tough, following your 13th loss. Much more action still to come as we go to another break. Stay with us. Tivoli Gardens kicks off our mid-week kick maligns United. Chris Taylor takes us through the highlights. Tivoli Gardens driving forward early into the area. Into Dunn and he just couldn't miss from there. That was his first goal. Bound well by Anthony Nelson who showed good strength to get past Barrett and then Samwell's went in wildly with the challenge. Just in done, he kept his composure. And that was number 12 on the season for him. His first of the afternoon and Tivoli Gardens with the lead after just eight minutes. Or should I say after 16 minutes? Two minutes later. Just in done from the penalty spot. And this was after maligns had the bitter of the play in the first 15 minutes with a couple opportunities. And Tivoli in the space of two minutes had a two-goal advantage. Just in done clinical from the penalty spot. Tivoli would well maligns would work hard to get back into it. Tivoli with lackluster defending. Both teams showing real signs of poor defending in that first half. Tivoli guilty on that occasion. Jason Wright slotting it away. It was Daniel Hardy's effort here to just nudge that away from Shaquille Jones. Slot that pass. Slot that pass. Richard Brown did Jason Wright. It was two-one at that point. And then it would be two-all at the start of the second half. Jason Wright putting that beyond Nicholas Clark who went the wrong way. That coming after 54 minutes and maligns were all square at two apiece. It wouldn't stay that way for long. Steve Clark off the bench. Look at this. A bit fortuitous that he got it back. But very composed with the finish just to dink it over. Peter Harrison who was slow off his line as well Peter Harrison. Didn't make his body larger at any point. And Clark said thank you very much. A 68th minute finish. Clark's third of the season. And Tivoli Gardens had regained the advantage. They would hold it for just four minutes. Look at how Jason Wright allowed that to come across his body. The initial strike saved by Clark from Wright's left footed effort. But immediately following up off the head to nudge it into the far corner. Got a bit of the upright as well. And helping it in. A hat trick for Jason Wright at that point. That was after 72 minutes. And my lines had drawn level at three all. Tivoli had all the ideas. John with the strike off the chest of Harrison then forced to pass Howard Morris off the crossbar and the Dean Penny Cook in the right place at the right time. Brave finishing. Four on the season for the Tivoli captain and center back. Very close to his hand. Tyrone Robinson said no the head was enough. Tivoli kept on coming forward. He said four wasn't enough so they made it five. Rodico Wellington off the bench as a substitute. Combining with the other substitute, Horatio Morgan. Just the second on the season for Rodico Wellington. The 2015 is Premier League career. Tivoli is number ten making it five-three and they still weren't finished. Penny Cook lobbing that into the area and Horatio Morgan was brought down. Enrique Godn just moments before that should have probably have conceded a penalty again and it gave Justin Dunn the opportunity to complete his hat trick. His second hat trick of the season. His fourteenth goal overall and a big three points for Tivoli guns. They run away with this one by six goals to three over my lines. Justin Dunn, the leading goal scorer is today's man of the match. I'm here with Justin Dunn. What was the hat trick for you this season? More goals. What do you make of your performance first of all? I think it was a well played performance by me. As you see we start the game very early. I got two goals and then a lot more lines to get back in the game. We went two-two and from there with a rugged contest but we came out and get the victory. And I'm sure you're pretty proud of your team as well. It wasn't only you scoring a lot of your teammates. The substitutes also came in and did really well. It's a really well-rounded team at Tivoli. From week in training we were focusing on finishing and we came to the match and executed very well. As you see we get six goals. It's not easy to get six goals in this league against anybody really. Does that show that Tivoli is the best attacking team in the league? Yes, in training we build momentum and each game we take it step by step and the result will come. Well, excellent performance today. Another hard trick. Golden boot leader and best of luck for the rest of the season. Thank you. Your coach was a game of nine goals. I know no coach would be happy with that. What do you make of your team today? I mean we played in patches. We went down. We came back. We fought again. They went ahead. We came back again. But we were largely disciplined today. We made some horrible decisions in the back of the pitch. We weren't as tight in the middle of the park. In the end we gave up a lot of free passes. Three true passes and that hurt us really. Defensively I'm actually saying and commenting a lot there was a lot of individual errors that led to the goals. Is that something that you feel that you can get the better of in the coming weeks? Definitely. It's coming to the end. We would have basically secured our spot for next year. We would have to go back and look on the motivational levels. Check the team that is playing. See those who are not. And then see if we can now get some guys out there who will be willing and hungry and play to the end. Yeah but coach you know one positive of this game is the fact that you're still getting goals. It comes seems as if whoever you play against you're going to be a threat to score. Is that something that acts before the game? Is that something that you think that you're really keying in on? I mean that's definitely a positive. We have been creating loads of opportunities. We created before Tivoli scored. We created about probably two or three clear opportunities. We never took them and they scored against us. But guess what? Those are positive. Some football games you win some you lose. Some you'll draw. This is one of them where I thought we never played for 90 minutes and it really affected us today. Well thank you very much coach. Best of luck for this season. Yeah man thanks much. How do you feel about the performance? Well first and foremost congratulations to the Tivoli gardens unit. Well tried my lines. Today if you realize it was really an open game based on the footing condition because the wet surface resulting a lot of errors resulting in those goals. But in the end we came out victors. Hang on you've now scored 45 goals in the league campaign at least six more than any other team and you spoke about your top before the game and you must be extremely pleased with how your attack is firing. Well pleased in the sense yes but when you analyze the game how many chances we miss and those are clear cut chances you know they were created not only in the 18-yard box but also the 6-yard box but it's a work in progress. And you know going into the playoffs now you I'm sure you're putting a lot of fear into teams especially teams probably don't want to play going into the playoffs and in the playoffs as well. What do you feel about that? No you are you thinking about the playoffs I still have three more games so it's not to jump the gun before time you never take it in stride. I know you're into the top two now I don't want to go too far to the playoffs but now you're in the top two not only will they get to buy in the playoffs but also qualify for the the qualification for that. Is that a big deal for you? The country of Caribbean Cup is the top three that qualify not the top four. So you would be in the semifinal after Premier League and is you know how to take it from there to ensure that you're in the top three? Well thank you very much coach and best of luck for the season as always. All right. Yeah well it's the first time in over a decade that Tivoli guns have managed to score six goals and what a performance.
