Grenades returned to the top of the Antigua and Barbuda Premier League on Wednesday. Notably, they did so without playing a match. Their opponents, Old Road, defaulted the scheduled fixture.

As a result, Jennings Grenades received maximum points. Consequently, they moved clear at the top of the standings. This result broke their tie with All Saints United. Meanwhile, All Saints United stayed on 53 points.

Earlier, Grenades had prepared fully for the contest. However, officials informed them that Old Road would not play. Therefore, the match never kicked off. Despite that, the points still counted.

Interestingly, the outcome surprised many fans. Old Road had shown strong form in their previous match. In fact, they scored 14 goals against Jennings United. Because of that display, expectations were high. However, this time, they failed to appear.

Meanwhile, action continued in the First Division. Greenbay Hoppers faced neighbours Five Islands in an exciting clash. At first, Five Islands took control. Jaheim Jeremy scored to give them the lead.

However, Greenbay Hoppers responded with determination. Khimani Cox equalised in the 35th minute. As the game progressed, both teams pushed for a winner. Eventually, Cox struck again in the 85th minute. His second goal sealed a 2-1 comeback victory.

Similarly, Willikies secured a narrow win over SAP. The match remained tight throughout. However, Jason Harris made the difference. He scored in the 61st minute. As a result, Willikies claimed all three points with a 1-0 victory.

In addition, Bendals also benefited from a default. Their scheduled opponents, FC Masterballers, did not contest the match. Therefore, Bendals received the win without playing.

Overall, it was a dramatic day across both divisions. Some teams earned victories through play. Others gained points by default. Nevertheless, the standings saw key changes.

In conclusion, Jennings Grenades now lead the Premier League. Their return to the top adds fresh excitement to the title race.
