Anthony Smith Jr. Contributes Over $20,000 to All Saints West Football Clubs
All Saints West MP Anthony Smith Jr. says more than $20,000 has been invested in football clubs within his constituency as part of ongoing support for youth and community development.
Smith announced that he contributed $10,000 in total on Tuesday evening to the Sea View Farm and Freemans Village football clubs, marking the second round of funding for the teams this season.
“Investing in our youth and supporting sports development in All Saints West is not optional; it’s essential. When we strengthen our clubs, we strengthen our communities,” Smith said in a statement.
He noted that from the start of the season, a commitment was made to treat both clubs equally, with identical contributions provided in the first round and again in the second.
“Fairness and consistency matter,” he said, adding that young people deserve “opportunity, structure, and support.”
Smith said the initiative forms part of a broader effort to continue strengthening community engagement through sports.

When money comes easy that is peanut change. Just wondering what fraction of the buy out is the $20,000. Will not be voting for you as an ABLP candidate next time around, you betrayed me without prior explanation that was very disrespectful, you have shown you true colour. You are right where you belong
A very important contribution in helping sporting clubs initiatives going, and keeping our young men occupied and out of trouble.
They’ll be commentators out there that will try to make political capital out of what former UPP member Anthony Smith is doing.
Not me on this occasion.
Even though I’m one of Smith’s harshest critics on his desertion from the UPP. However, i’m looking at the bigger picture here for the All Saints community, especially with rising thefts and criminal activities in the area in recent times.
Hopefully, the ABLP will find more funding for recreational opportunities and activities for the youth throughout Antigua & Barbuda 🇦🇬
