Hamilton Parish extended their lead over idle BAA at the top of the First Division, while Young Men’s Social Club missed the chance to move back into second place after drawing 2-2 with Vasco.

At Police Field, winless Vasco twice took the lead before having to settle for their fifth draw of the season Social Club fought back to salvage a vital point.

Kyle Hamilton gave Vasco the lead in the eleventh minute, before Jomeko Mallory drew Social Club level in the 27th.

Vasco were back in front two minutes later through Anthony DeCosta and they kept that slim lead until midway through the second half when Akim Johnston equalised for the home team in the 66th minute.

At Southampton Oval, John Hunt-Tucker scored twice in the first half as Hamilton Parish beat bottom team Paget 3-0 to increase their lead at the top to ten points.

Hunt-Tucker netted in the sixth and 17th minutes before Jordan Outerbridge completed the scoring with a third from the penalty spot in the 90th minute after Joshua McLean of Paget was sent off.

Wolves beat Ireland Rangers 2-0 at Malabar Field in the other match.
