Defending champions Cavalier hope the third time will be the charm as it relates to their bid to earn promotion to local top-flight football, but admit the 2011-12 Super League season could be a tough one, with several teams improving their squads.
Cavalier will look for their second win in a row - following a 1-0 win over Olympic Gardens in their opening game - when they travel to face Duhaney Park.
"This is a rebuilding period for us. As you would know, we failed to come through the play-offs for a second straight year, so we decided to make some changes," said Cavalier coach David Laylor.
A few of those changes involve the departure of Horace Sharpe and Mitchily Waul, who returned to Tivoli Gardens and the arrival of Damion Jackson and
Troyland Williams, both of whom have led the Super League in scoring over the past few seasons. However, it is a young and talented squad, with eight national Under-17, in which they will place most of their hope.
"The young players are yet to be tested and proven, but we will have to see what happens this season, They have looked good so far, but we will see what happens throughout the season," Laylor added.
