The Virgin Gorda Recreation Ground, home of both the Sugar Boys and VG Utd, welcomed the Islanders for the first game of the season and a large partisan crowd were not disappointed as the youthful Andres Bailey put the hosts a goal to the good in just the 7th minute.
The lead lasted over an hour before Nano Ottley fired home the leveler in the 69th minute to quell the noise coming from the main stand. However, the Boys would not be denied and soon had their supporters back on their feet when Mohammed Kachour, last season second highest goal scorer, smashed home what turned out to be the winner in the 79th minute
