As the 2001/02 soccer campaign begins to wind down, Devonshire Cougars' marksman Raymond Beach stands atop the Premier Division scoring charts, having netted 12 goals in all competitions so far.

North Village's midfield schemer Jamaul Boyles and Cougars' Heys Wolfe, who forms part of a lethal strikeforce with Beach, have both hit the back of the net on nine occasions to date, according to statistics released by Bermuda Football Association.

Wolves' Vincent Minors and Nakia Smith along with Somerset Trojan's fiery forward Marvin Belboda have all found the target eight times and are closely followed by Devonshire Colts' Lloyd Holder who has scored the bulk of his team's meagre tally of 15 with seven so far.

Village's late acquisition Clay Smith, a precious commodity at Bernard Park these days, has also managed to score seven of his team's goals coming down the stretch.

PHC's Dennis Russell and former Wolves striker John Barry Nusum both have six goals to their credit. Incredibly, Nusum, who now plays in the MLS with the Columbus Crew, scored all of his goals during this year's Dudley Eve trophy competition.

Somerset's Dwight Basden along with Town's Janeiro Tucker and veteran Paul Cann each have five goals and Town's Seyoum Tuzo and Wolves' Mark Ray both have four.

Village's Kentoine Jennings and Ralph Bean Jr., PHC's Raynell Lightbourne, Wolves' Nakia Smith, Town's Kevin Hurdle, Devonshire Colts' Quincy Aberdeen, Cougars' Mark Smith and Somerset's Karl Roberts are locked on three goals apiece.

In the First Division where goals often come thick and fast, Boulevard's Melchisedec Gibbons leads the way with 19 - the best in the entire league - while Somerset Bridge's Lamaul Crofton has scorched the net 15 times.

Hamilton Parish's Irving Burgess and St. David's Otis Minors both have 11 goals to their credit, while Blazers' Saki Crockwell has nine.

St. David's Desmond Crockwell and Boulevard's Michael Parsons each have scored eight times, Somerset Bridge's Darren Dowling has seven closely followed by his colleague at the west end club, Stephen Burrows and Prospects' Vic Ball who have bagged six.

Parish's Damon Edwards has tallied four times while team-mate Sean Dill and Eagles' super-sub Rodre Wilson both have three.

In the Commercial A Division, no one appears to have an answer to Valley's Kevin Isaac who has torched his way to 18 goals thus far and likely isn't done yet.

Somerset Extros' Everette Wellman likewise has enjoyed another fine season up front for the west enders en route to grabbing 15 goals.

Prison Officers' Dwight Richards remains on 13, Devonshire All-Stars' Kenneth Dill has 12 and Devonshire Lions' Arthur Sinclair 10.

In the Commercial B Division, Lobster Pot's Troy Berkeley has struck 13 times while BAA's Martin Jones has managed 11 goals. MR Onions' Richard Helm and Robin Hood's Simon Turner both have nine closely followed by Tuff Dogs' Jamal Lovell with eight.
