PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (CMC):

Jamaican Wolry Wolfe was also on target as third-place Joe Public closed to within two points of Petrotrin after trouncing Tobago United 3-0 at the Marvin Lee Stadium, led by a double from Kerry Baptiste when the T&T Pro League resumed after an eight-day break.

The nippy Baptiste fired in the opener after only 13 minutes and closed out the scoring in the 90th after Wolfe doubled the lead in the 29th minute.

Comfortable 5-0 win

Fourth-place W-Connection (16 points) also enjoyed a comfortable 5-0 win over Ma Pau at the Ato Boldon Stadium.

Andre Toussaint banged two goals for the 'Savonetta Boys', while Colombian Oscar Torijano, Teba McKnight and Hughton Hector scored the other goals.

In the first match at Malabar, St Ann's Rangers whipped T&T Defence Force 4-1.

59th minute strike

Keyon Edwards handed Rangers a 17th-minute lead before Christopher Durity tied the score for the 'Teteron Men' with a 59th-minute strike. Josimar Belgrave restored Rangers lead in the 77th minute and Shem Mc Farlane made it 3-1 five minutes later before Ricky Charles completed the drubbing in the 89th minute.

Guyana international Howard Lowe had the dubious honour of scoring at both ends of the field, as Caledonia AIA and United Petrotrin battled to a 1-1 draw on Saturday.
