ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Golden Stars of Urlings and Swetes were winners in Antigua & Barbuda Football Association First Division matches on Saturday as the promotion race intensifies.

Golden Stars, playing at home against Bethesda, won by a goal to nil. Robin Toussaint’s 42nd minute goal was just enough for his team to earn the three valuable points. Both teams had many more opportunities to score but wasted them.

Parents of child and youth footballers are in agreement with frustrated coaches who are fed up of preparing their teams for matches only to see the boys and girls not get games because match officials do not turn up.

There is widespread concern with the Cayman Islands Football Association that there are not enough officials for youth games and it is affecting morale amongst youngsters who are being put off playing and turning to other sports or activities as a result.
