BAA 6

Fire FC 4

BAA striker Neal Churchill grabbed four goals to help his team beat Fire FC, who had Justin Robinson score a hat-trick in a thrilling match.

Churchill gave BAA an early lead when he latched onto a throughball to finish smartly.

But Team Fire deservedly levelled when Robinson flicked past goalkeeper Chris Hirst. Fire then took a surprise lead when a long ball was not cleared and Kingsley Mundy fired low past Hirst.

BAA then came back into the game and it was Churchill who got his second after controlling a pass from Oliver Labbett before finishing neatly.

In the second half BAA began to dominate possession and a smart turn and finish from the impressive Labbett put them up 3-2. Churchill was then denied twice by the Fire 'keeper and also saw a towering header crash off the upright.

However, midway through the second half Churchill finally completed his hat-trick slotting under the 'keeper from close range.

That should have been game over but to their credit Fire did not fold and pulled a goal through Robinson who then scored a penalty to draw level.

Not to be denied, BAA stormed forward looking for a winner and it was Andy Ryder who fired home to restore his team's lead. In injury time, Churchill powered through three defenders and smashed past the Team Fire 'keeper for his fourth goal.

MR Onions 1

Valley 2

Valley FC came from behind to win against an out-of-sorts MR Onions.

Onions opened the scoring when Gordon Paterson spotted the goalkeeper off his line and lobbed the ball home. Shortly after Onions won a penalty for a foul on Desmond Thomas who missed the resulting spot kick.

Valley than equalised with an own-goal from Greg Fraser after Onions failed several times to clear the ball after a Valley corner.

Just five minutes later Fraser was shown a straight red for swearing at the referee.

Valley took advantage of Onions' sending off and scored after the interval to take thelead. Onions then frustrated Valley for the remainder of the game as they dominated possession but could not find a leveller.

Vasco 6

Prison Officers 2

A brace from Rui Furtado guided Vasco to a huge win over Prison Officers to keep their title ambitions alive.

Rich Holden, Ricardo Arruda, Kennedy Wainwright and Quincy Aberdeen also scored for Vasco. Officers' goals came from Sammy Robinson and Kaya Robinson.

Lobster Pot 2

Robin Hood 2

Lobster Pot came from behind to draw with Robin Hood.

Ryan Matcham opened the scoring for Hood after he caught the 'keeper napping and slotted home with ease.

Justin Brookes then got on the scoresheet just before the interval to extend Hood's lead.

Lobster Pot got back into contention when substitute Khabir Dill and Johnson Mugulus struck to level matters and grab a share of the spoils.

Tuff Dogs 3

St. David's 0

League leaders Tuff Dogs brushed aside St.David's with goals from Gary Adams, Robbie Almeida and Chris Pett to remain the only undefeated side in the league.

Adams scored early into match when his long-range effort wrong-footed the goalkeeper.

Dogs grabbed their second a few minutes later when Pett headed home from a John Payne corner. Payne then received his marching orders in the second half, and St. Davids started to control possession in the latter stages of the match.

But Almeida sealed the win after a defence splitting ball from Reed Gaglio sent him clear on goal.
