Ranalie Cain opened the scoring for the Islanders on the stroke of half time from the penalty spot and then Devron Medica (59^th min.) and Oswart Holder (65^th) made sure all 3 points were taken.

With the convincing win, Islanders leapfrogged Wolues FC back into first place, but also saw them level the goal difference between the two sides.

Wolues held to draw by VG United

Playing the later game on the same pitch, the Wolues knew only a win would put them back to the league summit; however, they were thwarted by VG United, ultimately battling to a 2-2 draw, with the club second from bottom, but with a vociferous “home” crowd.

Noel Maxwell put the Wolues on their way, scoring in just the 7^th minute, but then Sheldon Toney equalised in the 34^th minute, before Marknique Williams put VG ahead in the 58^th.

William Green calmed the Wolues nerves, netting the leveler in the 69^th, but neither team could find a winner.

The Islanders are on 28 points and the Wolues 26, whilst the Sugar Boys are in 3^rd place on 23 points, courtesy of a 2-0 win against Old Madrid FC with goals in each half by Andres Bailey (15^th) and Rawl Hoyte (77^th).
