Grenades have returned to the top of the Antigua and Barbuda Premier League standings without playing a single minute of football, after opponents Old Road defaulted their scheduled Wednesday fixture.
According to Antigua Observer, the former defending champions were prepared and ready to take the field when they were informed that Old Road would not contest the match. The default subsequently handed Grenades the points needed to reclaim the league's top position.
The development marks a notable shift in the standings, with Grenades benefiting from the administrative outcome rather than an on-field performance. Old Road's decision not to contest the fixture has drawn attention ahead of what remains a competitive Premier League season.
