Kevin Fisher who scored twice for the Islanders in their 4 nil win over the Panthers

(PLTM) - The competition continues between football teams across the Territory, with Islanders, Sugar Boys, Wolues and Rebels coming out on top after last weekend’s matches on October 1 and 2.

The games, hosted by the BVI Football Association, are held every weekend at the A. O. Shirley Recreational Grounds in Road Town.

Game one on October 1 saw Islanders continue to put their best foot forward, securing another win in the league, this time against Panthers.

Islanders’ top players, Kevin Fisher scored two goals, with Avondale Williams and Rohan Lennon scoring the other two of the winning four goals of the game. Unfortunately, Panthers walked away nil from this game.

The other game of the evening saw the Sugar Boys defeating One Love F.C. with 4-1.

Three red cards and numerous yellow cards were distributed throughout the match, where Lenroy Murray was the first to get his marching orders.

Although One Love were down to ten men, they had a go ahead goal disallowed before Mohammed Kashour put the Boys 2-1 up in the 53rd minute.

Roger Roberts made it 3-1 in the 73rd minute before Richard Morgan was given his marching orders in the 75th, scything down Terrence Nanton in the penalty box.

Leonard Davis made no mistake from the spot to make it 4-1 and before the game was done, One Love’s Craig Sinclair was also sent off for a rash tackle on Kashour.

On Sunday, October 2, the Wolues demolished a disorganized Virgin Gorda United 5-1, with Kevin Carragher scoring the first goal in the 5th minute. The cushion of a second goal came in the 30th minute when Leo Forte was first to react after Camille Benjamin had half blocked a shot from Xavier Arnougili.

Both teams had several chances to score during the second half and despite being reduced to ten men with the sending off of Troy Williams, Xavier John gave VG a lifeline in the 81st minute, making it 2-1. The introduction of Alessandro Palladino paid dividends for the Wolues as he netted in the 80th minute to restore the two goal advantage. Forte grabbed his second in the 87th to make it 4-1 and Pallandino rounded things out in the 89th with his second and the Wolues 5th.

The last game of the weekend saw the Rebels maintain a 100% start to the season with a 2-1 victory over Old Madrid, courtesy of two first half goals by Kevaughn Watson in the 19th minute and Howard Johnson in the 25th.

Anselm Joseph nodded home in the 51st minute for Old Madrid, but there was no further scoring.
