play, with several matches played under adverse conditions while others never took place at all.

Commercial `A' Division leaders Robin Hood probably wished their match had fallen under the postponement banner as they surrendered their first points of the season to Lobster Pot during a 1-1 draw at White Hill Field.

In fact, Lobster Pot held the edge for most of the contest, after Jim McLaren netted late in the first half.

Only a tally from player/coach Paul Scope allowed the defending champions to take away a share of the spoils.

Closest challengers MR Onions took full advantage of the slip, moving two points closer to the leadership position, as they ran rampant against PHC Raiders to the tune of 6-0.

Keith Donald led the goal feast with a hat-trick, while Glenn Dunne, Garry Garnett and Colin Couper each scored once.

At the opposite end of the spectrum, Vasco Mariners battered Devonshire Colts All-Stars 7-2, scoring early and often.

Mariners led 4-2 at the break and continued the carnage with the one blemish being the second half ejection of Paul Frias for a second cautionable offence.

At Wellington Oval Tuff Dogs showed the damage a pack of hungry dogs can inflict on prey that has little defence.

The home side barked out a 7-2 win over Fire Service, with Kevin Mooney the only player scoring more than once, as Nathan Brown, Deuntay Darrell, Brett Michelsen, Joe Carolo and Robbie Almeida all got on the scoresheet.

The match between North Village Rams and BAA Wanderers at Bernard Park never got underway due to unplayable conditions.

Similar non-performances were the order at Shelly Bay and Malabar, with Exiles dressed and ready at the former, but having neither a referee nor opponents, Wolves Pack, show up.

A ref did arrive at Malabar but Devonshire Lions never made the trip west, with Dockyard Falcons earning easy points.
