PREMIER DIVISION
Paget Lions 1 St. George’s Colts 1
Honors were shared at White Hill Field as St. George’s Colts battled back to snatch a 1-1 draw against Paget Lions.
Paget looked primed for victory after Diaje Hart expertly buried a 44th-minute penalty to hand the Lions the lead on the stroke of half-time.
St. George’s pressed for a route back into the contest and got their reward in the 78th minute when Jahron Dickinson stood over a set-piece, curling a sublime free-kick past the Paget keeper to earn his side a hard-fought share of the spoils.
Somerset Trojans 1 Devonshire Colts 2
At Somerset Cricket Club, Devonshire Colts staged a stirring late fightback to edge out Somerset Trojans 2-1 after a scoreless first half gave way to an electric final quarter.
The hosts drew first blood with 20 minutes remaining when Justin Donawa broke through to hand the Trojans a 70th-minute advantage. However, the Colts responded almost immediately, with Elisha Darrell restoring parity four minutes later.
The turnaround was complete ten minutes from time when Jahzardae Samuels held his nerve from the penalty spot to fire past the Somerset goalkeeper and seal all three points.
North Village Rams 3 X-Road’s 1
At Bernard Park, North Village Rams overcame an early stumble to secure an entertaining 3-1 victory over X-Road's.
Donavan Thompson stunned the home crowd by firing the visitors ahead, but Village found a route back before the interval when Bermudian international Knory Scott converted from twelve yards to level matters at 1-1.
The Rams seized control after the restart as Tah-ki Tucker found the net to turn the contest on its head, before Scott added his second of the afternoon to extinguish any hopes of an X-Road's revival.
