KSAFA Championship, Major League to be decided
May 16, 2025
The finals of the Kingston and St Andrew Football Association (KSAFA) Championship and Major League will be decided tomorrow in a doubleheader at the Constant Spring Sports Complex.
The two tiers of football competitions will have their grand finale, as August Town are set to take on the Jamaica Defence Force (JDF) in the headliner at 8 p.m. in the Championship final.
Before that, however, Red Hills United will face Seaview Gardens in the curtain-raiser Major League final at 6 p.m.
In the first match of the afternoon, first-time finalists Red Hills will look to challenge perennial title contenders Seaview in a highly-anticipated showdown.
With both teams already securing promotion to the Championship, tomorrow's meeting will be to secure silverware as an added bonus.
Red Hills have seen a major surge this season as they look to climb up the Jamaica footballing pyramid.
Spearheading their charge is the prolific Donovan Segree, who leads the competition's golden boot race.
Seaview are no strangers to the final stages of the season as they were semi-finalists last year.
They will be hopeful they can avoid another misstep at a pivotal point of the season and walk home as champions.
OLD GUARD
In the Championship final, it will be a battle between the old guard as August Town take on the JDF.
August Town, who were promoted at the start of the season, have defied the odds and landed a coveted spot in the final.
Having downed the more-fancied Constant Spring in the semi-finals, August Town will be high on confidence that they can defeat the JDF.
Marlon Small, manager of August Town, said his players are ready for the challenge.
"A lot of pundits said Constant Spring would have walked over us in the semi-finals but we came and showed them what we're made of," said Small.
"So now we also know that JDF is a year-round finalist and semi-finalists in the Championship, but we are ready."
For the JDF, the encounter will be their first shot at redemption as last year's beaten finalists will be looking to go one step further.
The Championship's winners will earn the chance to compete in the Jamaica Football Federation (JFF) Tier II competition and compete for a spot in the Jamaica Premier League.
