Black Rock FC lead Premier League

WITH THE first round of matches in the Tobago Football Association Premier League completed for most teams, Black Rock FC lead the way with 28 points from 12 games

Black Rock FC coach Ronald Duke credits the positive start to a higher level of commitment from the players and also indicated that his team members has been together for a long period and they are now gelling as a unit.

1976 FC Phoenix’s return to Tobago football from the National Super League this season has not been a bed of roses. The Canaan/ Bon Accord-based team are stuttering in ninth place with 13 points.
