Kingston and St Andrew Football Association (KSAFA) Super League leaders Real Mona and Brown’s Town continue to plunder the opposition with convincing wins in rescheduled matches played yesterday.

At Butter Cup Park Real Mona hammered Rockfort 3-0 to move to nine points in Zone A, with Jordan Moses scoring all three goals. Meanwhile Brown’s Town continued their march to the top of Zone B with nine points from a comfortable 2-0 win against UWI.

In other matches Maxfield Park were held to a 1-1 draw by Rae Town at Maxfield Park, Mountain View and Shortwood played to a similar scoreline, while Allman Town edged Santos FC 1-0 at Bell Chung Oval to register their first win of the season.

Allman Town, who remain unbeaten in the Super League, having drawn their previous three games, moved to six points along with Santos in Zone B, with Bull Bay second on seven points.

Playing a high-pressed game from the opening whistle Allman Town forced the former joint leaders Santos into making several cardinal defensive blunders before Leslie Johnson spun and fired a rocket past goalkeeper Russell Hosang in the 33rd minute of play to keep their unbeaten record in tact from four matches.

However, the Nicholas Stewart-coached Allman Town had to withstand a resurgent second half from Santos to hold on to their narrow lead. Goalkeeper Jovell Plunkett made the victory possible by framing several spectacular saves from very close range.
