Saints win back top spot in Alderney
ST MARTIN’S ended Alderney’s unbeaten start at Mount Hale and went top of the FNB Priaulx League table in the process.
An even game seemed to be heading for a goalless stalemate until Danny Hale fired in a 65th minute free-kick that found the net off the post.
Steve Renouf then added a late second to confirm the result.
At St Peter’s, Vale Rec continued their immediate upturn following Jody Bisson’s resignation, winning 4-2.
The visitors were two up early on, first Martin Savident making the most of Lorcan Smith’s long kick downfield with a fine finish.
A minute later Glenn Le Tissier doubled the visitors’ advantage with a chip over the keeper, but Sylvans were soon back in the game via Joe Collenette’s twice-taken penalty.
Savident hit the bar, but the two-goal margin was restored by Rory Moriarty on 50 minutes and it was the same player’s long range strike that made the game safe at 4-1 with 20 minutes left.
Ciaran Gallagher netted a consolation second for Sylvans late on.
At the KGV, Charlton Gauvain hit a late winner for rangers as they beat Manzur 3-2.
