Every team in the Claro/-KSAFA Super League would describe itself as being unique and rightly so, but the team with the most unique circumstances is the Jamaica Defence Force.

It is the only team formed by the armed forces. This has multiple implications, especially if the country should enter a civil war or have another type of serious security issue. That aside, the JDF are the only team that cannot participate in the transfer of players. Technically, the JDF team can only improve itself if more footballers "join its ranks".

This has affected the team's midfield and defence during the season as they have lost players to injuries both on and off the field without having an option to transfer a defender or midfielder to the squad.

disciplined team

Despite this, the team has managed to maintain a place in the top four of the Claro /KSAFA Super League. It is partially due to the high level of discipline each player is called upon to display during the daily discharge of his duties. This discipline manifests itself in the fact that JDF team has a low number of 'cardable' offences.

This team is never a walk-over, whether at home or away. In fact, the JDF started the season on a four-game winning streak until Real Mona broke it on January 10 with a 2-0 win. They then went on a six-game streak with no losses until Cavalier defeated them 2-0 on February 28 and Duhaney Park handed them a 1-0 defeat on March 7. The JDF has bounced back since those two consecutive defeats.

Of 19 games, JDF have amassed 34 points, coming from nine wins, seven draws and three losses. All this was achieved with them scoring 24 goals and conceding 15.

Two noteworthy players in this team would be ace striker Robert Wright and goalkeeper Allien Whitaker, a former national youth representative. With 10 goals in this season, Wright can be intimidating to defenders and has quite an accurate shot, even from a distance.
