Saturday that kept them atop the Commercial Division's Group A.

Beaten 3-1 by Mariners last Wednesday night, Wanderers took out the frustration of that defeat on lowly MR Onions, thumping the eighth placed team 4-0 at Shelly Bay.

Vince Chaves and Mick O'Connell gave the visitors a 2-0 half-time lead, while Jeff Amaral and Andy McCulluch added insurance strikes following the break.

Moving within two points of the leaders were Robin Hood as they downed winless Forties 2-0 on a pair of John Beardsley goals.

Hood now have 13 points compared to 15 for Wanderers.

Also with 13 are Island Rangers, the beneficiaries of a default triumph over Devonshire Colts All-Stars, who appeared with only eight men and decided against playing short.

Mariners crept into the championship picture with a 4-1 win over Spinning Wheel as Richard Correia tallied two, while Joe Cunha and Joe Barboza scored a goal each.

Des Minors was on target for Wheel, who dropped from third to fifth with the loss.

St. George's were made to fight for a 3-2 victory against bottom club Lobster Pot, needing two second half goals to decide the issue after the pair were deadlocked at 1-1 at the interval.

Milton Jones, Jan Cieters and Delbert Minors scored for the East Enders, while Bob Markovsky and Tim Brown replied for Pot.

In Group B, Fire Service extended their lead to three points following a 3-1 peppering of then second-placed Prison Officers.

Officers looked set to engineer the upset after Kenny Butterfield put them ahead in the first half.

However, Service had other ideas, as Wendell Simmons drew them level from the spot early in the second half and Ralph Scott gave the firemen their lead soon after.

Officers went in desperate search for the equaliser, but they were permanently laid to rest by a Shawn Grant strike moments from time.

The battle of the third and fourth placed teams ended in a stalemate, with Valley and North Village Rams drawing 1-1.

Danny Rogers scored for Village while Crenston Williams equalised from the penalty spot. Rams' striker Allan Fray had numerous chances to settle the issue in favour of the home side, but poor finishing proved his nemesis.

Resurgent Devonshire Lions continued their meteoric rise up the table with a 4-3 win over Somerset Extros at the west end, as Howard Amory, Ernest McCallum, Kevin Hodgson and Ricky Warner found the target. Lions went from fifth to third overall.

Exiles, another side on the up, won their second match in three games as they got past Bermuda Pest Control 3-2 and edged up to seventh.

Allan Johnson was the hero, heading Exiles into an early lead and moments later side-footing home his second off a right-wing cross from Derek Young.

Hugh Hollis then scored what would prove to be the winner just 20 minutes into the first half, tapping in a ball from Carlos Durham.

Pest Control's attempted comeback fell a goal short.

The result of the Belco versus Wolves match was unavailable.
