Fishing Pond Revival have won three games in a row to elevate from the foot of the table in the Caribbean Welders Fishing Pond Football League.

Their string of wins sees them move into ninth place in the 15- team standings and are now genuine contenders for a spot in the “Big 8”.

On Sunday at the scenic La Tosca Recreation Ground, Fishing Pond Revival took care of Manzanilla United 4-2 to continue their good form. Also, Dream Team rallied from a first half deficit to get past Coca All- Stars 4-2. Forward Jameel Sempele opened the scoring in the first half but Coca hit back through a Dorean Robinson double to take the lead. Robinson, one of the deadliest players in the league, levelled the scores and then put away a penalty kick just before the half. But Dream Team, looking to avoid their second straight loss of the season, turned things around after the break.

Sempele knotted the scores with his second item before Rion Moore and Stephan Kerr sealed the victory with one apiece Also on the rise is Blu Magic with their third consecutive win that takes them into the top five. A 3-1 whipping of struggling former champions Boys Town on Wednesday last was followed by a narrow 3-2 result against North Oropouche (Saturday) and they celebrated Independence Day by thrashing Sunrisers 4-1.

John Belgrave of Dragon FC again delivered for his team on Monday, edging early league leaders Take That and Cool It 1-0. Gremio last year’s losing finalist, seem destined for another deep run into the tournament with their sixth straight victory and are now the only unbeaten team remaining in the league after nine games. Their stellar form has seen them surge into second place. A 2-1 win over Quash Trace on Wednesday in Oropouche was backed up on Monday by a 3-1 whipping of Fishing Pond All-Stars.
