However, Bequia, which won the championships in 2018, has added team two to the roster, and Trinity Medical School, which played in last year’s championships, has been replaced by All Saints University.

The rest of the roster includes Arnos Vale Heat Seekers Two, Calliaqua United, South Rivers and RSVG Police.
