LEADERS Real Mona on 25 points and second-placed UWI on 24 lost at home to Maxfield Park and cellar dwellers August Town, respectively, to close the gap at the top of the JN/KSAFA Super League in last Saturday’s round of matches.

Maxfield Park, who started the round on 20 points in third but needing to win to remain competitive at the top of the standings, surprised a reduced in strength Real Mona 1-0 with a second-half goal in minute 58 from Chavar Valentine. This was after Richard Edwards missed several good scoring chances in a

one-on-one situations in the first half to put Maxfield ahead.

A stone’s throw away at the UWI Bowl, second-placed UWI went under 1-2 to cellar dwellers August Town with goals from Leon Seabourde (15th minute) and Kemar Bryan (35th). Akeem Thenstead replied for UWI in the 26th minute.

Although Real Mona and UWI lost and Maxfield Park won, nothing has changed at the top of the standings with only Maxfield Park narrowing the gap at the top to be on 23 points — one point fewer than UWI and two fewer than leaders Real Mona.

In another Zone A match, Shortwood defeated Allman/Woodford 4-1.

In Zone B, Mountain View and Rae Town drew 1-1; Santos lost to Rockfort 0-1, while Brown’s Town and Bull drew 0-0.

In Zone A of the Major League, Cooreville Gardens swamped Red Hills 7-1 and Meadforest eased past Constant Spring 2-1 at Constant Spring. Ian Davis and Ryan Smith scored for the victors, while Reinhard Bent replied for Constant Spring.
