Jordan Outerbridge scored his third hat-trick of the season as Hamilton Parish defeated Wolves 4-2 at Garrison Field to move to within a point of idle First Division leaders Young Men’s Social Club yesterday.

After Kneiko Richardson gave Parish the lead after just 30 seconds, Outerbridge took over the scoring as Parish led 3-0 in the second half. Quinn Simmons, a late transfer from Devonshire Colts, scored from two free kicks just outside the box to keep Wolves in the game in the second half before Outerbridge completed his hat-trick seconds before the final whistle to take his tally for the season to 11.

St David’s, in third place, fell five points behind Parish when they went down 2-0 at home to Flanagan’s Onions. Both goals came in the opening minutes of the game, Vuk Panic scoring in the sixth minute before Ricardo Lowe netted the second five minutes later.

In yesterday’s other match, Vasco beat Ireland Rangers 2-0 at Bernard Park, with two first-half goals. Ryan Smith scored in the fourteenth minute and Jordan Watts doubled the lead three minutes later.
