Mount Pleasant FA crowned CFU kings

Jamaican outfit Mount Pleasant FA edged Delfines del Este of the Dominican Republic 1-0 to capture the Caribbean Football Union (CFU) Club Shield title at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva on Sunday.

Shaquille Bradford scored the lone goal in the 51st minute as Mount Pleasant secured its first-ever CFU Club Shield crown, becoming only the second Jamaican club to win the competition, following Arnett Gardens’ success in 2024.

It capped an outstanding tournament which saw them concede just one goal throughout the competition.

With the win, Mount Pleasant also booked a place in Group B of the 2026 Concacaf Caribbean Cup, where they will join fellow Jamaican clubs Portmore United and Cavalier, along with Dominican Republic representatives Cibao FC and Salcedo FC.

Mount Pleasant’s Sporting Director Paul Christie hailed the achievement, praising the club’s ownership, coaching staff, and players for their commitment throughout the campaign.

“It is just a feeling that you can’t tired of, and so I just want to salute the ownership of Peter Goule and his wife, and the technical team led by Theodore Whitmore and Davion Ferguson, and also our captain Daniel Green and the rest of the staff for their hard work and dedication.

“We came here and we adapted to the conditions and we did what we had to do. And, in return, we are now the Caribbean Shield champions, and so it is definitely a good feeling,” Christie said.
