Islanders win title before competition ends
Although they have to wait for the official presentation of the trophy, the Islanders on Sunday (January 29) secured a fourth consecutive BVI Football Association National League title.

The other goals in the match on Saturday came from Akeem Hendrikson and a Sugar Boys own goal.
In another game, One Love achieved a 2-0 victory against the Panthers, and are also in the top four. The winning goals came from Morgan and Uriah Jn Baptiste.
The Wolues, in the meantime, secured a 4-0 win over Virgin Gorda United on Saturday. The goals came from Kevin Carragher, Giovanni Di Biaise (2), and Omar Elliston.
