Devonshire Cougars rebounded from a frustrating first half where they trailed unfancied opponents Port Royal, exploding for five goals in the second and surging to a 5-1 victory that allowed them to keep pace with league leaders Wolves.

Jamal Smith converted from the penalty spot to give Royal an early advantage, but a superb second-half hat-trick by Dwayne (Liquid) Bean together with solo strikes by Troy Burgess and skipper Shawn Smith eliminated any potential for an upset.

Wolves 4, Hamilton Parish 0 Wolves earned their fourth consecutive league triumph at the expense of cellar dwellers Hamilton Parish on the basis of a 4-0 rout at Devonshire Rec.

Dion Wainwright and Marlon Lindsay each tallied twice for the goal-hungry Wolves, who continue to lead the Daihatsu Second Division by goal difference over Devonshire Cougars, although the latter have a game in hand.

Paget 1, Prospect 5 An early own goal gave clear indication of the day Paget were to endure and in the end they were helpless to prevent Prospect running out 5-1 victors at Southampton Oval.

Robert Goodchild (two) Dwayne Leverock and Anthony Mouchette also scored to compounded the home side's misery.

Paget's lone reply came in the form of a last-minute consolation effort from Jason Matthews.

Social Club 0, BAA 4 BAA overran downward-spiralling Social Club to the tune of a 4-0 triumph at PHC, allowing the former to remain in the thick of things near the head of the standings.

Norman Correia was a two-goal hero on the day and was aided in the scoring department by Gary Flood and Paul Franco.
