Treasure Beach look to halt 3-match losing streak
January 07, 2026
Treasure Beach will attempt to halt a three-match losing skid in the Jamaica Premier League (JPL) today when they take on a tough Dunbeholden team in a rescheduled match at the St Elizabeth Technical Sports Complex at 3 p.m.
The Kemar Ricketts-coached team have not fared well since their return to competition after Hurricane Melissa, despite beating former league leaders Portmore United in their first match back.
They have since lost to Montego Bay United, Chapelton Maroons and Spanish Town Police FC, respectively, but Ricketts is confident they are playing well enough to turn things around.
"Before the Portmore game we had a week-and-a-half training in. Since then we are barely getting things together, especially in the Christmas period. So those things are playing against us," Ricketts pointed out.
"We have 28 games to go. We just have to get some things fixed and turn some screws, and we'll get going.
"We have been playing well. It's unfortunate that Hurricane Melissa kind of slowed us down and things are not the same, but if you look at Montego Bay they are not the same.
"They have won once since they've returned. So it's not just us going through this. Nevertheless, we will keep going," he stated.
Despite their low points count, Dunbeholden, who sit 11th in the standing on 14 points, have proven to be a hard team to beat under Damion Gordon's stewardship.
The St Catherine-based club has eight clean sheets from 11 matches. They have not conceded a goal in five matches, and their defence has only been breached once in the last eight games.
Ricketts is well aware of Dunbeholden's strength, but insists that it is what the teams do on the day that really counts.
"Football is played on the day. It doesn't matter what kind of analysis you do. It doesn't matter how you want to think about it, It's on the day. So we will refocus and put some work in heading into the game."
