NOTRE DAME will argue they are not where they should be in the standings.
Home Improvement Waterford Compton, second from bottom, are surely not relishing where they are either.
This is the setting for the Digicel Premier League match, which will be played tonight at the Wildey AstroTurf.
The seasoned Dames are in mid-table in sixth position on 11 points, but have only themselves to blame because their finishing has not been up to mark.
Goals win matches. They are very organised in every other department and the Renaldo Gilkes-coached squad are capable of coming away with a handsome victory against opponents who have struggled to make the transition from First Division to the Premiership.
Tougher battles
Compton have just three points. Some argue they should shoulder some of the blame for this because they needed to strengthen their ranks for the tougher battles they are now tackling.
Loyalty hasn’t worked for them. In addition, they have not been able to sustain pressure on their opponents for long periods. However, they might be able to motivate themselves to rise to the next level because of the position they are in.
Eighth-placed Belfield on eight points are favoured to beat struggling bottom team Brittons Hill who are on two points.
Belfield blow hot and cold and Brittons Hill have yet to warm to the task of competing as they used to do. The former champions have been a shadow of themselves and look like relegation candidates unless they turn things around and fast.
Tonight’s game should give a good indication of what their intentions are. (PR)
