A last-gasp goal by former national player Onandi Lowe was enough to earn Rockfort a 1-0 win over previously unbeaten Cavalier as the Claro Kingston and St Andrew Football Association (KSAFA) Super League continued on the weekend.

It was Lowe's second 90th-minute goal in his last two games, after earning a 1-1 draw with Mountain View Saturday. Rockfort, with their seventh win from 15 games, moved into fourth spot on 25, while Cavalier remained on 34 points and saw their lead trimmed to just one point.

Second-place August Town failed to capitalise on Cavalier's misfortune in a 0-0 draw with third-place University of the West Indies (UWI). August Town inched to 33 points, while UWI stayed third on 28 points.

Former champions Santos, after taking an early lead through Kenrick Preston in the 12th minute, had to battle hard to salvage a point in a 2-2 draw with Rae Town. An own goal in the 50th minute and Mario McDonald's 55th-minute goal gave Rae Town a 2-1 lead before Kemar Cock-bourne equalised for Santos in the 85th. Rae Town stayed sixth with 20 points.

Meanwhile, Mountain View clipped Duhaney Park 1-0 and jumped two places to seventh on 16 points courtesy of a Bradford Jackson 83rd goal. Duhaney Park, who have won only once in 15 games, remained firmly at the bottom of the 12-team league with 10 points.

Real Mona won their second consecutive game, whipping Bull Bay 3-1, and moved into ninth spot on 14 points. Jahvon Allison grabbed a brace in the 19th and 45th minute, while Ghavon Francis netted in the 88th as Real Mona recorded their fourth win of the season. Bull Bay lost for the second consecutive week and slipped to 10th. They are also on 14 points but behind in the head-to-head clash.

Barbican and the fading Constant Spring played to a 1-1 draw at the Spring Complex. Barbican dropped a spot to eight with 15 points, while Constant Spring slipped into the relegation zone in 11th on 13 points.

Claro Major League

Greenwich Town opened up a six-point lead atop of the Claro Major League with a 4-2 win over Brown's Town and moved to 22 points from eight matches.

Cooreville Gardens, who were idle on the weekend, remained in second spot on 16 points from nine games while Police Nationals climbed into third on 15 points with a 3-1 win over Allman/Woodford.

Olympic Gardens also climbed two places into fourth on 15 points after edging Seaview Gardens 1-0 courtesy of an injury-time goal from Bryan Levy.

Central Kingston condemned Stony Hill to the foot of the table with a 1-0 win. Ricardo Taylor scored in the 30th minute as Central Kingston moved to 12 points in seventh spot. Stony Hill remained rooted to the bottom of the 11-team league with five points.

Dexter Allen scored twice in the 22nd and 58th minutes as Shortwood United blanked Molynes United 2-0 and consolidated eighth spot with 11 points. Molynes, who were suffering their sixth defeat from nine games, remained in ninth spot on seven points.

Claro Jackie Bell Knockout

It is all square between Premier League heavyweights Harbour View and Tivoli Gardens after both teams battled to a 0-0 draw in the first leg of the Claro Jackie Bell Knockout tournament last Wednesday.

Former champions Arnett Gardens took a decisive two-goal advantage over Major League leaders Greenwich Town with a 2-0 win at the Anthony Spaulding Sports Complex. Nicholas Dodd scored both goals in the 47th and 85th minutes.

Waterhouse also took a comfortable lead beating Police Nationals 4-2 away. Goals by Kemar Thomas (9th), Peter Keys (19th), Jonathan Williams (43rd) and Jeffrey Henry (90+4) gave Waterhouse a good win.

Alwin Morgan and Andrew Palmer replied for Police Nationals in the 53rd and 74th minutes, respectively.

Premier League campaigners Boys' Town were held to a 1-1 draw by Super League fifth-place team Santos at the Bell/Chung Oval.

Anthony Bennett gave Boys' Town a 1-0 lead in the 76th minute before the prolific Fabian Nethersole equalised in the 84th minute.
