The Portuguese netted twice more as the defending champions blitzed Vale Rec at Port Soif with a 15-minute three goal burst, eventually winning 6-1.

Blair Howitt also scored a brace, while Sam Hall and Sam Wright got the others, as they remained unbeaten and moved three points clear at the top.

Their cause was helped by St Martin's squandering a late lead at Northfield on Friday night to draw 3-3 with Manzur, as the new boys fought back superbly.

It all means that Rovers are three points clear and have a game in hand, but third-placed North are continuing to keep the pressure on.

They are now seven points back on Rovers, but with a game in hand, after beating Rangers 4-0 in the other Friday night game on the KGV's 3G surface.
