Lime Hall Academy continued their flawless run in the Jamaica Football Federation Championships, securing a commanding 6-2 victory over Baptist Alliance at Drax Hall in St. Ann on Saturday. Sajay Anderson led the charge with a double, supported by goals from Ceejay Gibbs, Carlos Campbell, Imani Beckford, and Diego McKenzie. This result solidifies their top position in Zone A while handing the St. Thomas-based Baptist Alliance their third defeat in just four outings, highlighting a stark contrast in early-season form.
This early dominance is significant as Lime Hall, alongside Sakka Club Brown’s Town and Humble Lion FC, are the only three clubs to have won all three of their opening matches, signaling their intent as serious promotion contenders. The JFF Championship serves as the second tier of Jamaican football, making a strong start crucial for building momentum in the long campaign ahead. Historically, teams that establish such early authority often maintain a psychological edge over their rivals throughout the grueling season.
Looking ahead, the title race is already taking shape. Lime Hall narrowly leads Zone A only on goal difference over a persistent Sakka Club Brown’s Town, setting the stage for a thrilling future clash between the two undefeated sides. In Zone B, Humble Lion FC sits comfortably atop the table with 10 points after their 2-0 win over Falmouth United, establishing themselves as the early team to beat in that section of the draw.
