TORTOLA—Virgin Gorda Soccer League champs Rangers walked off with a 2-1 over Spice United to stay unbeaten during weekend action at the Valley Recreation Grounds on Virgin Gorda.

Rangers took the early lead 25 minutes into the game after Rohan ‘Chi Chi’ Lennon penetrated the Spice United defense. Lezian Williams brought Spice even at 1-1 with his legger in the 35th minute as both teams played to a halftime tie.

Avondale ‘Avon’ Williams connected in the 78th minute giving Rangers the 2-1 edge. He was later yellow carded, as Rangers continued to hold Spice United scoreless over the second half for the victory. Rangers Alfred Reid, and Spice United Danny Joseph and Rodney Modeste also received yellow cards.

United Kickers got goals from three different scorers to beat winless Jamrock 3-0 in Sunday’s first game. Dex Dacaro helped the Kickers to a 2-0 halftime lead by laying the foundation in the 19th minute with his goal. In the 24th minute, Jairo Morris added another goal which they carried into halftime. Kenny Peters extended United Kickers advantage to what would be the final 3-0 score, when he broke Jamrock defense in the 67th minute. Jamrock mounted no serious threat of scoring.

In the weekend’s final game, Old Boys and Jeans N Things played to a scoreless draw. The only action was Eddie Pullock’s being thrown out of the game after a first half yellow card then was booted from the match when he received a second half red card for unfair play.
