THE 2014 Bull Investment Limited Golden League football competition has received an increase in sponsorship, moving the company’s total spend to $200,000.

This league is for players over the age of 45 years.

The cheque presentation was done at the company’s Old Hope Road offices by principals Wayne and Simone Gentles to league president, Carlton Galbraith.

Wayne Gentles said based on the growth and success of the league, it was easy for his company to continue its sponsorship for a third year. He said that the proper running of the competition and high level of discipline exhibited by players were other key factors for the decision to stay on board.

Meanwhile, Christian Ambassador are leaders of Zone A with 20 points after eight rounds of matches, followed by defending champion Santos with 17, Nautica third with 14 and Telecom Strikers, fourth with 14 points.

Real Mona lead Zone B with 14 points over Kush with a better goal difference, Eastern are third with 13 and Park Rovers fourth with

12 points.

Patrick Williams of Nautica is the leading goalscorer with six goals and he is followed by Courtney Gillings of Wonders and Chris Green of Real Mona with five

goals each.

The league competition continues with four matches today. Nautica will be playing Telecom Strikers, Dynamo United meet SM Kickers at 3:00 pm, Eastern play Kingston Commissioners and Christian Ambassadors face Fusion at 4:00 pm at the NWC playfield, Mona. Four matches will also be played at the same venue tomorrow.

The top four teams in each zone will qualify for the quarter -final.

On a sad note, the competition lost one of its players in Wayne ‘Fuddy’ Wonder, who died suddenly Thursday at his workplace

at the Norman Manley International Airport.

Wonder was a Clarendon College, JDF and Barbican footballer. Up to the time of his death, he represented Barbican in the Masters and Golden League competitions.
