Rangers lead race for title but Onions remain in hunt
A 4-0 walloping of Valley and superior goal difference combined to keep Key West Rangers on top of the Commercial League ?A? Division, ahead of MR Onions for the second week running.
Goals from Janeiro Tucker, Paul Towlson, Zane Stowe and Burton Cox helped Rangers to an easy win.
Commercial ?A? title holders MR Onions comfortably beat St. George?s All-Stars 6-2 with an Eoghan O?Dwyer hat-trick.
John Lally opened the scoring in the first minute with an excellent shot from the edge of the box. Lionel Cann equalised ten minutes later with a superb individual effort after Onions gave away the ball in midfield.
Onions soon regained the lead when Lester Pun was fouled in the area and O?Dwyer scored from the spot.
St. George?s were forced to replace their goalkeeper when he was injured making a brilliant double save from Colin Keane and Lally before O?Dwyer extended the lead just before half-time with his second goal.
Onions added further goals in the second half through Lally, Keane and O?Dwyer.
Onions defender Lee Dwyer and St. George?s player Terrence Carlington were sent off for fighting before St. George?s scored a late consolation goal.
BAA, playing in the shadow of Robin Hood in recent years, found it relatively easy going against their old rivals. Goals from Martin Jones and David Gibbs gave BAA all three points while Craig Crichlow got a late consolation for Hood.
North Village slipped behind the leading pack after only managing a draw with Dandy Town Roots. New signing Tillman Darrell scored for Village with Michael Wells replying for Town.
Lobster Pot survived a first half scare against Tuff Dogs with last man Johnny Lappin clearing off the line. But Pot snapped into gear in the second half with Dave Allison firing home from the edge of the box.
Pot?s second goal was pure route one with Colin James nodding on a goal kick into the path of Allison who fired home.
Island XI extended their lead at the top of the ?B? Division after beating challengers Boulevard 3-2 via a last minute winner.
Elvin James and Ted Terceira put Island XI 2-0 up but Boulevard came roaring back with a goal from Corey Hill and a Sean Dill penalty. Perry Simons clinched it for Island XI with an 89th-minute effort.
Vasco are snapping at Boulevard?s heals after beating Devonshire All-stars in a tight game at St. John?s Field.
Paul Frias put Vasco ahead ten minutes into the second half only for Ray Jones to equalise two minutes later but an Andre Griffith goal sealed it for Vasco.

Somerset Bridge Peskies picked up their first points of the season after they edged out Devonshire Lions 4-3 with Lloyd Telford and Ruffins Hill both grabbing two.
With runaway ?C? Division leaders Somerset Extros idle, MR Onions Real Men made the most of a chance to gain some ground by putting six past Dandy Town Roots C.
Roland Meadows and Nigel Morley netted two apiece while Joe Roberts and Dave Outrim added to the tally.
Dockyard Falcons picked up three points when Prison Officers failed to get out a side.
The clash between Wolves and Warwick was always in doubt with neither team managing to field more than eight players for most of the season. Wolves thus picked up their first points of the season when Warwick conceded the match.
