In the 2016 League, in the C Division, the new Championship team is ‘Beat That’ who made a clean 3 game sweep of ‘Young Talent.’
In the B Division, ‘Time 2 Wuk’ also did a clean sweep of ‘Go Hard’ out of Tortola.
In the A Division, still standing are ‘East Rockers’ out of Tortola and ‘Up 2 Da Time’ from Virgin Gorda. They are playing in the best out of five games for the 2016 Championship title. So far East Rockers are ahead with 2 wins over Up 2 Da Time who have 1 win.
