Faulkland FC went behind via an own goal in the 20th minute but Robinson levelled the scores in the 31st minute as the teams were locked at 1-1 at half time.

The red hot Robinson who was coming off a hat-trick in his team’s win over Baptist Alliance on Sunday, gave the hosts the lead in the 56th minute but Sherlock Cummings brought Portlanders level in the 70th minute.

Santino Grinnion however ensured his team’s victory when he netted his first goal of the season three minutes into time added.

Kadeem Stone ended his three games scoreless run with a brace for Treasure Beach FC as they rebounded from Sunday’s loss to Portlanders FC with a win at home over Albion Moutain.

All three goals came in the first half as Stone scored in the ninth and 32nd minutes while Orville Mignott threw Albion Mountain a life line in the 43rd minute but neither team were able to add any more goals in the second half.

Tru Juice drew level with Portlanders on points with a come from behind 2-1 win away to Downs YC.

Romaine Samuda gave Downs YC the lead in the 38th minute with his sixth goal of the season and the hosts held the advantage until the 63rd minute when Marcelino Blackburn drew them level before Michael Hurst scored the winner in the 86th minute.

Falmouth United’s biggest win of the season, 6-2 over Hopewell United at home at Elleston Wakeland Centre, saw them jump from 10th to sixth place, just two points off a semi-final place with five games still to be played.

Patrick Shecklude scored a double for Falmouth United, matching his tally so far, to lead the team that led 2-1 at half time.

Shecklude opened the scoring as early as the second minute and Donte Green doubled the scores in the 26th minute before Shamour Smith pulled one back for Hopewell United in the 45th minute.

Falmouth United however took over the game with three more goals, Kemar Reid in the 63rd minute, Leon Irving with his fourth of the season in the 70th minute and Malik Mills in the 89th minute completed the scoring.
