Antigua St. John's - The bottom-placed team in the ABFA IMOBILE Premier Division Football managed to hold one of the front-runners, Sugar Ridge SAP, to a one-all draw as the competition reaches the halfway stage.

Willikies sits at the bottom of the 10-team standings with only two points from 9 matches. In the feature game on Saturday, Winston ‘Sprocket’ Roberts scored in the 23rd minute of play to draw level after SAP’s Karanja Mack’s 15th minute goal.

However Willikies had no one to blame but themselves for not winning the game, due to the numerous chances they wasted.

Sugar Ridge ended their first round on 20 points.
