North Village Rams in the Commercial League Knockout Cup on Saturday.

Goalkeeper Graham Pitkethly was ejected for swearing and Scott Pomphrey after a second yellow card while substitute Daniel Miller was shown the red card at the end of the game for swearing at referee Gregory Smith. Alex McLaughlin, Jar McCabe and Andy Robinson were all booked.

All three of the goals came in a 17 minute period late in the first half and early in the second as Kenny Thompson opened the scoring from the penalty spot for the Rams in the 40th minute before Mike Harvey equalised in the 54th and Allan Fray netted the winner in the 57th.

BAA Wanderers must already be firm favourites for another league and cup double now that the teams that finished second and third to them in Group A are out. Lobster Pot, third behind Robin Hood, went out 5-4 on penalty kicks to Fire Service after the game ended scoreless.

Alan Wilkinson, Wendell Simmons, Robert Thomas, Randy Boyles and Theron Smith scored for Fire and Ronan Daly, Niall McArthur, Andy McCullock and Tony Hassan replied for Lobster Pot. The match was marred by a serious injury to Pot goalkeeper Chris Eaton who suffered a kick in the face and was taken to hospital by ambulance. He underwent surgery yesterday.

BAA Wanderers, who beat Devonshire All-Stars 2-0 in last year's final, managed to scrape out a 1-0 win over bottom team Spinning Wheel, the winning goal coming in the eighth minute through Thomas Gribbon. Des Minors missed a penalty for Spinning Wheel.

The other three games produced 26 goals as Forties, champions of Group B, were the big winners, blasting Exiles 10-1. Brian Fubler netted four times, Carlos Lee and Michael Williams two each and Ricardo Walker and Kent Bascome the others. Craig Tyrrell replied for Exiles.

Mariners almost reached double figures themselves when they thumped Belco of Group B 9-1 with Carlos Lopes helping himself to five goals and Craig Dixon three. Mark DeCouto got the other.

Devonshire Lions were also comfortable winners as Bermuda Pest Control finished on the wrong end of a 5-0 result. Eugene Eversley led the Lions onslaught with two goals and Raynel Perinchief, Ernest McCallan and Anthony Amory helped the cause with one apiece.

The match between Ireland Rangers and Valley was put back to Wednesday night at BAA Field at 8.30 because of the funeral of a family member of one of the Valley players.

In the only remaining league match, Prison Officers got the win that assures them of promotion to the top division next season.

Officers had to win the match against Wolves Pack to be certain of moving ahead of Somerset Extros in Group B but were trailing late in the match before two goals in the last five minutes gave them an exciting 5-4 win.

Prison Officers' winner came from B.Brangman in the 90th minute after E.Swan had made it 4-4 in the 85th. Other scorers were Reggie Pitcher (2) and D.Leader while Elton Caisey, Casey Burgess, Paul Douglas and Jeff Cameron tallied for Wolves Pack.
