Super League Finals Rescheduled For Tomorrow

THE 3rd place playoff and finals of the 2016 Vizions Entertainment Football Tournament, the Super League has been rescheduled for tomorrow evening at the Phillip Marcellin Grounds.

The double header showdown that was scheduled for Saturday at the Darren Sammy National Cricket Ground was postponed due to the heavy rainfall from early morning, brought by a tropical wave that interacted with an upper level trough to produce cloudiness, showers and thunderstorms over the southern half of the region.
