Fabian Reid led the way with a three timer, increasing his tally to a season-leading 14 goals. Javoni Simms in the 69th and Kemal Malcolm in the 75th minute, were also on the scoresheet. Tivoli Gardens fell one place to 4th after going down 2-1 to FC Reno at the Edward Seaga Sports Complex.
The come-from-behind win for FC Reno saw them move two places up to 6th in the standings on 28 points. Boys’ Town gave up an 84th minute equaliser to Craig Foster and Humble Lion in their 1-1 draw at Effortville.
The defeat means Boys’ Town remain rooted at the foot of the standings on 14 points, while Humble Lion stayed 9th on 25 points. Meanwhile, the match-up between Montego Bay United and Harbour View at Wespow Park was postponed due to what organisers described as "circumstances beyond
their control".
