Action last weekend, November 5 and 6, 2016 centered around a titanic struggle between the perennial Women’s Champion team, the Ballstarz and the Avengers from Virgin Gorda playing in their first tournament as an official BVIFA member club.

It looked for all the world like business as usual for the Ballstarz when Phillia James fired home the opening goal in the 29^th minute and that’s how it remained until half time.

However, in the space of three second half minutes, the game changed as first Brittany Peters equalised in the 44^th, James scored her second in the 46^th to make it 2-1 and Keithreece Smith scored in the 47^th, almost straight from the kick off, to make it 2-2.

Peters then scored her second in the 67^th to give the Avengers a 3-2 lead before, just a minute later, Emerline Lockhart smashed home a long-range equaliser to make the final score 3-3.

The teams also share top spot in the standings with 4 points each, whilst the VG Utd Girls are now third following their first ever win in competitive football, 3-1, over the Panthers.

The Girls, the majority of whom are under 16, led early on through the first of a Kayla Skelton brace and despite Jacintha Weekes scoring a sublime equaliser, went ahead from a rocket shot from Kezia Gumbs in the second half and then put the game to bed when Skelton forced home in the 49^th minute to make it 3-1.
