St. George's Sports Club and Humble Lions improved their points tally in the Digicel Premier League (DPL) after scoring vital victories in the 29th set of matches in the competition on Wednesday.
St. George's, which have been at the bottom of the points standing for some time, continues to put in a dogged fight against their looming relegation and came away 1-0 winners over Arnett Gardens on Wednesday.
The Portland-based team, which is now on 28 points, weathered an onslaught from the ‘Junglist’, before Girvan Brown scored their winner in the 83rd minute.
Both teams however, ended the game with ten players, as St. George's Ronique Anderson saw red in the 85th minutes, while Arnett Gardens' Garfield Gillespie was sent off three minutes later.
Though still at the foot of the standing, Coach Geoffrey Maxwell is positive about St. George’s future.
It was the first loss at home for Arnett Gardens and Coach Paul 'Tegat' Davis put it down to missed opportunities.
Humble Lions also gave themselves more than a fighting chance to remain in the DPL, the nation’s top league, with a 2-0 win over Waterhouse.
Denzil Watson gave them the lead two minutes after half time interval and a goal from Jermain Ricketts, the January window signee, five minutes from time, ensured that maximum points stayed with the home team.
Meanwhile, DPL leaders Tivoli Gardens have taken five of a possible 9 points from their last three outings, after their 1-1 all draw with Portmore United.
Portmore played with 10 players for one hour after mid fielder Tremaine Stewart was ejected in the 30th minute.
And for the second straight game at home, Boy's Town were left feeling down after playing to a goalless draw with Sporting Central Academy.
Mid- fielder Renae Lloyd missed a 50th minute penalty for the Red Brigades.
