Three different players were on target as hosts Guaya United rebounded from its shock League Cup last-16 exit with a 3-1 win over Petit Valley Diego Martin United when the T&T Super League resumed on Saturday.
Playing in front of their home crowd at Guaya Recreation Ground, the hosts took the lead on the 15th minute through Ronaldo Mc Intosh and four minutes later Jody Allsop made it 2-0 which the team arried into the half-time break.
With nine minutes left on the clock, Petit Valley Diego Martin sliced the lead in the half to set up an interesting final period.
However, any hopes of stealing a point by the visitors soon faded when Carlon Hughes fired in the third item, his tenth of the campaign, for title-holders Guaya United in the 87th minute to seal all three points, and climb to 28 from 14 matches, level with FC Santa Rosa and two adrift of leaders Queen's Park Cricket Club, who were both in action yesterday.
In Saturday's other match, Marcus Griffith got a second-half double, in the 65th and 93rd to earn Club Sando Cultural Roots United a 2-0 win over Metal X Erin FC at Dibe Recreation Ground, Long Circular.
