In announcing the Play Off schedule BVI BF President, Byron Hodge said how pleased he was with the League so far and offered his congratulations to the successful teams as well as words of encouragement to those who didn’t make it. “First of all I would like to say congratulations to the teams that advanced to the playoffs. I would like you guys to continue the hard work and I would also like to encourage the teams that were not as successful to work harder for next year.”

The Play Offs starts tonight Wednesday July 11 at the Multi Purpose Gym and with a tight schedule that may well see some teams playing back to back as the Federation is trying to complete as many games as possible ahead of the Miss BVI Pageant. Games would then resume on August 10 in hopes of completing the league by August 18.
