All daCosta Cup selectee Devone Davis of McGrath High School stole the show in the Wray and Nephew Jamaica Premier League notching a hattrick as Molynes United whipped Vere United 5-0.

Molynes United is coached by Jermaine Thomas, also the coach of McGrath High and he brought his prodigy Davis to top-flight football and he delivered.

Davis, who scored what looked like the winning goal in the daCosta Cup final for a long time before McGrath lost on penalties, punished Vere United, netting in the 32nd, 48th and 62^nd minutes for a most welcomed victory for the struggling Molynes United.

Veteran Jason Wright (74th) and an own-goal by Damion Thomas (83^rd) propelled Molynes United to just their fourth win from 15 games and climbed off the bottom of table into 11^th spot on 13 points.

Vere United, coached by Craig Butler and Lenny Hude of Mona High and Clarendon College fame, were suffering their eighth loss from 15 games and they slipped a spot to 12^th on 13 points.

Tivoli Gardens also found their scoring boots swamping Humble Lion 5-1 on the back of two goals by Anthony Nelson who netted in the 39^th and 71^st minutes. Kavan Wilson had opened the floodgate for Tivoli Gardens in the 29^th minute and seconds later Trevaugn McKain doubled the advantage in the 29^th minute. Afiba Chambers reduced the deficit for Humble Lion in minute 69 but Rodico Wellington put the icing on the cake in minute 87 for an emphatic victory.

The Jerome Waite-coached Tivoli Gardens are seventh on 19 points while Humble Lion slipped to the bottom of the pile in the 14^th spot with 10 points.

Mount Pleasant returned to the top of the league with a 3-0 mauling of Waterhouse FC to be on 34 points from their 15 games. Shaqueil Bradford broke the deadlock with a fourth-minute goal before Kimoni Bailey doubled the advantage in minute 16. Raheem Edwards put the gloss on a fine and polished display in minute 62. Former champions Waterhouse’s inconsistent season continued losing their third game to be in fifth spot on 26 points.

At the Harbour View Mini-Stadium, Montego Bay United edged Harbour View 1-0 courtesy of a Brain Brown strike in the 85^th minute and remained in third spot on 31 points. The poor run of Harbour View saw them dropped into the relegation zone in 13^th spot on 12 points suffering their ninth defeat in 15 games.

Caribbean champions Cavalier battled to a 1-1 draw with Portmore United at the Ferdie Neita Park to be in fourth spot on 27 points. Geo Headley gave home team Portmore United a 22nd-minute goal but Christopher Ainsworth earned a share of the points for Cavalier scoring in the 56^th minute. Portmore United holding the final playoff spot are sixth on 23 points with six wins, five draws and four defeats in their 15 games.

Meanwhile, the promoted Racing United and Dunbeholden FC played to an exciting 2-2 draw at the Dunbeholden Sports Complex. Ranaldo Biggs (5th) and Damorney Hutchinson (65th) scored for Racing while Shakeen Powell (64th) and Dayshaniel Russell (78th) replied for Dunbeholden for a share of the points. Both teams are on 15 points with Dunbeholden sitting in ninth and Racing in 10^th place.
