St. Georges were out to prove a point on Saturday, after last week's disappointing defeat at Ramsey.

The champions came out firing and ran riot with an emphatic 9-4 victory over struggling Gyms.

Island international Calum Morrissey further enhanced his reputation, smashing home six goals as the rain fell at Glencrutchery Road.

Chris Bass junior (two) and Darren Hudgeon, who was later sent-off, were the other scorers.

Doubles from Ciaran McNulty and Mark Connor secured some respectability for Gyms.

Peel saw off Old Boys 4-0 to stay top.

Goals from Kevin Megson (two, one pen), Kerron Christian and Juan Killip sealed the points.

Rushen continued their good form with a 2-0 win over Ramsey.

Second half goals from Ted Pepper and Paul Jones were enough to take the points.

Elsewhere Laxey overcame a battling Corinthians 2-0 at Glen Road and Michael overcame Union Mills 3-2.
