Waterhouse launch ‘Stone’s in the House’ at home opener

Waterhouse Football Club and Stone’s Ginger Wine will today unveil Stone’s in the House when they host Treasure Beach FC in their first home match of the 2026 Jamaica Premier League season.

The new match-day platform will be featured at selected Waterhouse home games throughout the eight-month campaign, blending football, community, entertainment and sponsor activations to enhance the experience for supporters, players and media.

Today’s fixture is Waterhouse’s second of the season and the first opportunity for fans to welcome the team home. The programme will include the launch of the Stone’s Player of the Match award, with a cash prize for the top-performing Waterhouse player, and the Stone’s Fan of the Match recognition for a supporter who brings outstanding energy and colour to the stadium.

The opener will also honour three men whose service helped shape the club: former players Craig White and Rohan Amos, along with outgoing treasurer Ainsley Smickle. They will be recognised during the half-time ceremony.

“Our first home match is more than the start of our campaign at Waterhouse Stadium; it is the beginning of a more engaging match-day experience for our supporters, partners and the wider football community,” said Donovan White, president of Waterhouse FC. “Stone’s in the House gives us a platform to celebrate the people who built this club, reward the players representing us today and create the atmosphere that will bring fans back throughout the season.”

The 2026 season marks the third year of a five-year partnership between Stone’s Ginger Wine and Waterhouse FC. The expanded programme will place fans and players at the centre of selected home-match activations while creating new opportunities for storytelling, media engagement and community participation.

“Stone’s Ginger Wine is proud to deepen its partnership with Waterhouse Football Club through Stone’s in the House,” said Ibrahim Konteh, category manager at Select Brands. “This programme allows us to recognise performance on the field, celebrate the supporters who create the atmosphere and honour club legends whose service continues to inspire the Waterhouse community. We look forward to making selected home games even more memorable across the season.”

The Sunday double-header begins at 5:00 p.m. with Racing United FC against Montego Bay United FC, followed by Waterhouse FC versus Treasure Beach FC at 8:00 p.m. Supporters are encouraged to arrive early, wear the club’s yellow and sky blue colours, and be part of the first Stone’s in the House experience.

Additional fixtures and activations will be announced during the season.
