BOXSCORES

GATEWAY UTD 3 UNION SC 2
The Saints continued their dominance over the Blues. After taking an early 1-0 lead off a rocket from Juninho, Union SC fought back. First, club captain DeRosario chipped in his first goal of the season and fellow DP Conor Casey added an assist to take a slim 2-1 lead. Then Charlie Davies took over and nailed a PK to tie the score and then followed it with the game winner. Union SC was forced to play a man down when Brek Shea was red carded. Both Santino Quaranta and Jack Jewsbury were subbed into the game for the Saints, but neither would throw in any scores. 10 men to 7, the result is what matters and Gateway United got the 3 points.

Marco Pappa hit the post. It was that kind of game for the Gunners. The one omen was club Keeper Sean Johnson had an assist.

ALLIANCE 5 BURUD TOWN 4

The most explosive match of the week. The Lions roared out early in this match getting 4 points from two players (Santos and Harris). But, the Stags would fight back and claw equal with 4 scores of their own including a goal and assist from Designated Player Omar Cummings. Then in the 3rd minute of Sunday's final tally, Shalrie Joseph scored the game winner to give Alliance the clubs first win in the BSL. Burud Town put up a good fight and almost completed a huge comeback. The club came close in so many ways including coming up 1 save short for another score. This was a real nail bitter.
