This season’s SPFL tournament is intensely competitive at the Francis “Baba” Lastic grounds in Gros Islet, with teams fiercely vying for qualifying spots.
On Friday, November 21, Dennery secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Central Castries, thanks to a 13th-minute goal from Gravin Reggie. This win solidifies Dennery’s position in the championship title race.
In another match, Gros Islet claimed a tight 1-0 victory against Mabouya Valley, with Baggio Edward scoring the decisive penalty.
Saturday brought more excitement as Soufriere triumphed over Choiseul with a 3-2 comeback. Choiseul initially led 2-1 at halftime, scoring through Darrel Francis and Ajani Louis in the 39th and 45+1 minutes.

Additionally, Vieux Fort South displayed impressive offensive prowess, defeating reigning champions La Clery 2-0. Saviola Elva opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, while Shan Alfred sealed the win in the 90+1 minute.
Relegation Dogfight: Who Will Survive?
The final relegation picture in the 2025 Premier League is heating up! Here’s the breakdown:
– 10 South Castries (9 pts) : Confirmed last place. Even if they win their final match, they cannot catch Choiseul.
– 9 Choiseul (14 pts, 2 matches left) : Still fighting to survive. They must earn 4 points and a positive 2-goal difference in their remaining matches to reach 18 points and surpass Soufriere.
Upcoming fixtures:
– Tuesday, November 25: Choiseul vs. South Castries
– November 28: Soufriere vs. Gros Islet at 7:00 p.m.
This is a massive challenge, but survival is within reach! – 8 Soufriere (18 pts, season complete) : Waiting and watching. Soufriere survives ONLY if Choiseul drops points. If Choiseul earns 4 points with a negative goal difference of 10, Soufriere will drop to 9th.
– 7 Dennery (20 pts, season complete): Safe from relegation. Dennery can finish 7th or 8th, but there is no threat of relegation.
The stakes have never been higher!
