De­von Mod­este siz­zled on Sun­day, strik­ing four goals to see Queen's Park Crick­et Club (QPCC) cruised to a 5-0 vic­to­ry over RSSR FC in the T&T Su­per League (TTSL).

This was at Curepe recre­ation ground on Knowles Street and it was all about Mod­este, who kept sec­ond-place QPCC with 54 points, with­in range of leader FC San­ta Rosa (57 points).

FC San­ta Rosa re­mained in charge of the 14-team com­pe­ti­tion, get­ting its 18th win from 24 rounds of match­es with­out tak­ing the field on Sat­ur­day af­ter host Met­al X Erin for­feit­ed the match which was sched­uled at Erin Recre­ation ground.

Back in Curepe, Mod­este opened the scor­ing the 30th minute and de­spite a num­ber of chances RSSR did not get the equalis­er and trailed 1-0 at half-time.

On the re­sump­tion, it didn't take long for QPCC to in­crease its lead as Mod­este again came in­to play and gave his team a 2-0 lead with a goal in the 53rd minute. His team­mate Jared Ben­nett (58th) joined him on the score­sheet some five min­utes lat­er with QPCC's third item.

Mod­este con­tin­ued his ram­page and re­turned in the 68th minute, to put QPCC fur­ther ahead, 4-0, and sealed the deal in the lop­sided with an 81st-minute item.

At Guaracara Park in Pointe-a-Pierre, Nathan Julien was in good scor­ing form for fourth-place Prison Ser­vice, which was look­ing to get among the top three teams team in the stand­ings.

He net­ted a pair of goals but his team was held to a 3-3 draw with San Fer­nan­do Gi­ants. An­to­nio Au­gus­ta (38th) scored the oth­er goal for Prison while Phil­voughn Jones (63rd), Arki­do Joseph (83rd) and Arvid Ap­ple­white (86th) were the goal-scor­ers for the Gi­ants.

Prison re­mains be­hind third-place Guaya Unit­ed, which led by four goals from Leroy Jones on Sat­ur­day, com­fort­ably de­feat­ed Club San­do, 7-2 at home.
