League Information

Competition: Coca-Cola BSSFL U-19 | Season 2014/2015

Competition 1: The League Cup

The Barbados Secondary Schools’ Football League approved some changes to the U-19 format at the Annual General Meeting on 19th September 2014. The tournament will now be played in two leagues and schools were assigned to a specific league based on the criteria of their performance over last year’s competitions at the senior levels. The League One Cup teams were selected from the top four Under 19 teams, followed by the top four Under 16 teams in the 2013/2014 competitions. The final four spaces in this league were awarded to the schools with the most consistent performance at the senior level. All other schools were assigned to the League Two Cup. In addition the BSSFL has also reinstated the Senior Knockout tournament and Champion of Champions to the senior format.
