Despite many not viewing Cavalier FC as a favourite to win the Wray & Nephew Jamaica Premier League title this season, Assistant Coach David Laylor says the team always believed they would be in the hunt for top honours again.

The two-time reigning champions booked their spot in Sunday’s semi-final against Montego Bay United after their 2-0 second-leg quarter-final win over Waterhouse on Wednesday at the National Stadium, to advance 4-2 on aggregate.

Dwayne Allen in the 29th and talisman Christopher Ainsworth in the 79th minute got the job done for Cavalier, who scored four unanswered goals over the two matches, after falling 0-2 behind in the first leg.
