Cavalier crave maximum points against Salcedo Jamaican team tackle Dominican Republic outfit in CFU Club Championship

Cavalier Football Club’s assistant coach, David Laylor, says his team will be going all out for maximum points when they face the Dominican Republic’s Salcedo in the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Championship at the National Stadium today.

The match is scheduled for a 7 p.m. start, with Cavalier seeking their first victory of the tournament after being held to a goalless draw by Cibao in their opening game on August 5.

Laylor expects a competitive encounter against Salcedo, who already have three points from their opening match, but said that Cavalier have what it takes to come out on top.

“I don’t think that they do well defensively. But they are an attacking team because they have a good, strong centre forward, and so we have to be mindful of him,” Laylor said.

“We are going to play Cavalier style and do our best because at the end of the day, we have to make them make the adjustments to us at some point. So we just have to come out strong and in full force and just make the best of it.”

Given the importance of the fixture, Laylor says they cannot afford to lose, and that they are determined to take the initiative from the start.

“Cavalier have always done better away than at home, when you look at the stats,” he noted. “But wherever we go, we always play with confidence. We need this win.”

Laylor also pointed out that Cavalier will enter the contest with a clean bill of health, and most of the players are available for selection.

“The players are looking forward to it because they are looking good in training and we don’t have many injuries apart from one player,” he said.

“But for the most part everyone is ready to go, and so we should be able to pull off this one.”
