The race for supremacy in the Digicel/Hadeed Motors and Observer Group Premier Division football competition is far from over, as an eight-point lead held by former champs BASSA throughout the second round has been cut to just five, with three rounds of matches left.

Old Road moved within five points of the front runners when they hammered Goldsmitty 4-0 at the ARG on Sunday, moving to 33 points after 15 showings. BASSA, who were held to a 2-2 draw by All Saints United on Friday, are on 38 points after the same number of outings.

The scenario represents a glimmer of hope for the Old Road team, as they are yet to take on BASSA in the second round schedule and would be hoping that the All Saints men would drop additional points before their impending clash two weekends from now.

In their clash against Goldsmitty however, Old Road didn't seem bothered with the tense situation, playing a tight passing game while making their opportunities count.

Striker Donavan Pert, who had a double-strike, found the back of the net in minutes 38 and 58, while winger Tyio Simon and midfielder Gason “Bubbler” Gregory scored in minutes 42 and 84 respectively.
