High-flying Waterhouse will go in search of their fifth consecutive victory in this season's Jamaica Premier League football competition when they take on bottom-place side Molynes United at the UWI-JFF Captain Horace Burrell Centre of Excellence tomorrow.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 1 p.m.

Waterhouse, who are unbeaten in the competition so far, are coming off an easy 4-0 victory over Portmore United in their last encounter.

In fact, the Marcel 'Fuzzy' Gayle-coached team is currently atop the standings with maximum 12 points. The Drewsland-based team has scored a league-leading 12 goals, while conceding two.

They have also recorded victories over Dunbeholden, Cavalier and Montego Bay United this season and therefore will be highly favoured to secure all three points against a very young and inexperienced Molynes United.

Molynes United have been playing very poorly in this season's competition, which has resulted in them failing to pick up a victory from four rounds of matches so far.

In fact, Molynes United's only point in the competition was a 2-2 draw against Harbour View in the first round. They have conceded 10 goals, while scoring three goals this season. They have suffered defeats against Dunbeholden, Montego Bay United and Vere United this season.

Meanwhile, in the second match of the double-header, seventh-place Portmore United will oppose Humble Lion at 3:15 p.m.

The Lenworth 'Teacher' Hyde-coached Portmore are coming off a 0-4 thrashing against Waterhouse in their last game and will be very desperate to secure a victory against Humble Lion, who are second from bottom in the standings on two points.

Humble Lion, who are conditioned by veteran coach Andrew Price, are still searching for their first win in this season's competition after four matches. They went down 0-1 to defending champions Cavalier in their last game despite dominating the second half. In fact, they created a number of clear-cut chances, but faulty finishing from the likes of Andre Clennon and Vishinul Harris let them down.

Meanwhile, in Sunday's round of matches, Dunbeholden will take on Mount Pleasant Academy at 1 p.m. and Cavalier battle Harbour View at 3:15 p.m. Meanwhile, on Monday, Montego Bay United oppose Tivoli Gardens at 1 p.m. and Arnett Gardens challenge Vere United at 3:15 p.m.
