Goose Gosling Field will continue as the only club field hosting night matches this season after the Bermuda Football Association switched scheduled night games at Somerset Cricket Club to Sundays.

Somerset, whose lights were damaged by hurricane Humberto in September, have had their match against PHC Zebras on Saturday night switched to Sunday afternoon.

Matches scheduled for Saturday nights in Somerset on February 8 and 29 against Robin Hood and Southampton Rangers have also been put back a day because the lights have not been repaired. BAA Field have been the only night field for matches this season, with Devonshire Recreation Club still unable to host night matches since the second half of the 2015-16 season after two hurricanes badly damaged their lights in 2016. Nadine Henry, then the president of the club, revealed in October 2018 plans to replace the entire lighting system at the ground.

The BFA has also confirmed that the First Division match between Devonshire Colts and Wolves on Sunday will be played at Devonshire Rec.

Police Field has been listed as the home field for both Devonshire Colts and Young Men’s Social Club but has not hosted any games this season.
