TUCKER, St James — St James Football Association’s Guardian Life Division Two clubs Fire House and Norwood Strikers scored big wins on Saturday as the first round of the competition continued.

Marvin Leslie scored twice in the second half for Fire House, who blanked Jackson Town 5-0 at Tucker in their Zone B game, while Norwood Strikers outscored Causa 5-3 at Mt Salem in Zone A.

Fire House, who were winning back-to-back games, led 1-0 at half-time through a goal from Kendrick Leslie in the 29th minute, as the floodgates opened in the second half.

Marvin Leslie got his brace in the space of 10 minutes when he scored in the 59th and 69th; Gavin Brown made it 4-0 in the 72nd, while Adrian Earle completed the scoring in the 83rd minute, as Fire House jumped to second place on six points — one behind leaders Montego Bay Cricket Club and on goal difference ahead of Root House.

At Mt Salem, Norwood Strikers came back from two goals down after 35 minutes to outgun Causa, who have lost three of their four games played so far and are at the bottom with a point.

Simon Gordon in the 18th and Leyon Afflick in the 35th gave Causa a 2-0 lead at half-time and hopes of their first win.

Norwood, however, scored three times in the space of four minutes in the second half to surge into the lead. Rafic Robinson scored in the 59th minute, while Oshane Reid and Randy Douglas scored seconds apart in the 63rd and 64th.

The deluge continued with Richard Smith in the 78th and Rushane Reid in the 86th.

Gregory Palmer managed a third goal for Causa in the 89th, but by then the damaged was already done.

Meanwhile, St James High won their second game in three starts, edging Albion Youths 2-1 at Sam Sharpe in a Zone A game.

Rixaldo Gordon gave Albion the lead after 18 minutes, but Christopher Haynes equalised in the 23rd before Robert Anglin produced the winner in the 49th.
