Rovers shock Scots in Premiership

Football

Rozel Rovers' hopes of survival in Jersey's Premiership are in their own hands after their surprising 2-1 win over third-placed Jersey Scottish.

Andy McCabe and Carl de la Cour were on target for Rovers while Paul Aitken replied for the Scots.

And Rovers needed the win after Jersey Wanderers, who occupy the second relegation spot, beat St Peter 3-1.

Island players Chris Andrews and Jay Reid, along with Stephen Reed, secured a 3-1 win at their nearest rivals.

It means Rovers are two points clear of Wanderers with both sides having one game left to play.

But Rovers are possibly still favourites to go down as they travel to champions St Paul's in their last game of the season, who may well need to win to retain the title.

Wanderers will host Sporting Academics, who are already relegated, in their final game of the season.

At the top of the table there is still no change after leaders Trinity and St Paul's both won.

Trinity beat Sporting Academics 3-1 thanks to two goals from Stephen Wilkinson and one from Barry Beatson, while Craig Leitch hit two as St Paul's beat St Ouen 5-1.

Trinity are still four points clear of St Paul's, although Saints have a game in hand.
