The opening matchups of the Barbados Football Association’s Kotex Women’s League have already produced a tightly contested battle for the early lead, with RF Prime emerging as the early pace-setters after the first two rounds of fixtures. What makes the early table particularly compelling is the logjam at the top of the standings: all three of the top-performing squads have already collected six points, leaving the rankings separated only by fine margins.
RF Prime has claimed the number one position thanks to a superior goal difference over the second-ranked Mavericks. The two teams have had different fixture schedules so far, with Mavericks already completing three matches compared to RF Prime’s two outings.
Holding down third place is Paradise, a side that has also played just two matches to this point. Paradise most recently took the pitch on Sunday at the BFA Technical Centre, where they secured a dominant 3-0 shutout victory against none other than second-placed Mavericks. Acacia Small emerged as the star of that match, finding the back of the net twice to pace her side, while Denea Payne contributed the third goal to lock in the comfortable win.
Heading into the new week’s slate of fixtures, Empire sits in fourth place with three points. They are followed closely by Technique, which also holds three points but drops to fifth place due to an inferior goal difference that leaves it trailing Empire. In the current mid-table, FVFC Femini sits in sixth place, with Whitehall taking seventh and the Police side slotting into eighth. The three teams at the bottom of the early standings have yet to collect their first points of the new league season, leaving them hungry for their first wins when they return to the pitch.
