Five-star Raiders rout Extros

Relegated PHC Raiders caused the biggest Commercial Cup upset on Saturday as they hammered A Division Somerset Extros 5-0. André Caines made it 1-0 but fluffed a one-on-one effort straight to the goalkeeper before the break.

After the restart Raiders came out a different team and made it 2-0 when Deuntay Darrell headed home. Raiders sub Clifford Payne made it 3-0 and then had to limp back off the field. 'Keeper Cal Waldron made a fine save to deny Extros a clear goal before Craig Crichlow made it 4-0 from a through ball. Second-half sub Quinton Ming Jnr. completed the day with a well-placed finish at the back post to seal it 5-0.

At Bernard Park, B Division side MR Onions Real Men dug in and put up a plucky fight against a dominant Robin Hood who were reduced to long range pot shots for much of the game. But constant Hood pressure finally told when Dave Wolffe scored the only goal of the game in the last 20 minutes with a far post finish after a shot from his brother Alfred was parried into his path.

A Division leaders MR Onions had to work hard to defeat B Division Prospect/Fire at Police Field. A Nick Briggs header give Onions the lead inside the first 15 minutes but Prospect/Fire equalised with a fine Kevin Mooney strike from the edge of the box after uncertain Onions defending.

With the game seeming to be heading towards penalties, it was decided in the last 15 minutes in MR's favour with two close-range Colin Keane finishes, each from Eoghan O'Dwyer crosses.

Vasco beat fellow B Division side Devonshire All-Stars 4-1 with three goals from Ricardo Arruda and a solo effort from Paul Frias. Arruda bagged two without reply before the break but in the second half the All-Stars started to put a few decent passes together and caused Vasco problems.

An own goal from Richard Correia bought the game back to 2-1 but with the All-Stars again tiring towards the end of the half, further strikes from Ricardo and Paul Frias ensured Vasco got their deserved victory.

Lobster Pot beat B Division Somerset Bridge Peskies 2-0. Thierry Farrugi, in his first game for Pot, set up Joey Azman in the 15th minute and Chuck Woods in the 65th minute.

A Shaun Goater hat-trick helped North Village Rams beat B Division Boulevard 7-1. Also on target were Ross Lambe with two and Elliott Jennings and Kacey Simons. Devonshire Rec Lions put five past fellow B Division side Wolves without reply. Shawn Smith and Philip Clarke got a brace each while Preston Mallory also scored.

St. David's went down 6-2 to fellow B division team Dockyard Falcons. St. David's started strongly and opened the scoring with a well placed shot from Jahson (Sunny) Smith. But Falcons piled in goals with Dwayne DeRosa getting a hat-trick, Sean Simons getting a brace and Eniko Smith getting one. Chris Foggo later tallied for St. David's.
