# Portsmouth tackle Christian Pen

Red-hot Portsmouth take on defending champions Christian Pen in the opening match of the Colin Fagan-sponsored Portmore Division Two Knockout competition at the Portsmouth playing field tomorrow, kick-off time 1:00 p.m.

Though Christian Pen are the reigning champs, they come into the match as underdogs due to their awful record of one draw and two losses in league play. On the other hand, Portsmouth are on a roll, snatching four victories on the trot - their latest was two weeks ago when they clipped an improved Portmore Pines 1-0 on their home turf.

In the feature match of the day at 3:00 p.m., Daytona battle Braeton United.

Daytona should start as favourites but Braeton, who were demoted from the St. Catherine Division One last season, could pull a surprise.
