Women's League Football (WoLF) action continued last weekend, with the places for the upcoming Big Eight competition up for grabs. Real Dimension, St Augustine FC and Petrotrin were all in winners’ row, as they continued their good form in matches which took place across the country.

This year's WoLF competition had to be reshuffled as a result of the Women's Premier League, which is being played simultaneously. The league segment has been separated into three groups based on geographical location, with two north/east divisions, as well as a south/central division. Dimension, St Augustine and Petrotrin all top their respective groups after six rounds of matches.

The top two teams in each group will automatically qualify for the Big Eight knockout competition, as well as the two best third-placed teams.

Real Dimension have bounced back to the form from their glory days, as they have maximum points from six matches, winning their group. Their 18-point haul includes 34 unanswered goals. QPCC, debutants this season, have also been impressive and finished second, three points behind. Diego Martin are currently third, however their goal differential will not be enough for them to qualify as one of the best third-placed teams.

St Augustine have calmly stepped in and replaced defending champions St Ann's Rangers at the top of their group, as the Rangers had to withdraw from the competition last week. The "Green Machine" who have ten points, beat the National Under-17s 2-0 over the weekend, and currently lead them by three points. The Under-17s were able to bounce back on Wednesday, beating Defence Force 7-0 with all goals coming in a very one-sided second half. Trincity Nationals are the best poised of the third-placed teams, sitting just a point behind the U-17 team with six points.

In the south, it has been mostly a two-tiered affair, with the upper teams in the table clearly in a class of their own. Petrotrin have 15 points, while La Brea Angels are on 12. Point Fortin Poineers who had a good 2014 season, are third with nine points and should be comfortably through to the Big Eight, as long as they keep fourth-placed Central FC at bay. The Poineers have a mammoth +27 goal differential which works in their favour for progression.
