FOUR-TIME champions St Clair Coaching School closed the gap at the top of the standings in the Digicel Tobago Football Association competition behind leaders Georgia United, following a slim 3-2 win over Pepsi Hills United at Montgomery on Wednesday.

With the victory, Coaching School (15 points) are now one point  behind Georgia (16), who were held to a 1-1 draw by Castara Retreats Goal City on home soil at the River Bank Oval in Mt St George.

Coaching School have a game in hand on the frontrunners.

Vernon Wilson, Sheldon Small and Keon Price were the marksmen for Coaching School in the second session, while there was a goal each from Andy Nelson and Ricardo Williamson for Hills United, who held on to fifth spot in defeat.

Deon Orr netted a first-half item to give home team Georgia a 1-0 lead at the break, but a strike midway through the second half by Odingo Walker helped to savage a point for Goal City (eight points), who dropped to ninth place from eighth.

The draw was Georgia's second of the season along six wins and a defeat, while Goal City  have a pair of wins, losses and draws from half-dozen matches.

At Goodwood, Roxborough Lakers leapfrogged four spots up the table into third place with a crushing 4-1 win over Dominion SS Golden Lane FC in the first  fixture of a double-header at the newly floodlit venue.

Lakers, the 2005 and 2007 FA Cup winners, controlled the first half to take a comfortable 2-0 advantage at the break, before putting two more past the Golden Lane custodian in the second period.

It was the Lakers boys' fourth taste of victory from six affairs, which include a loss and a drawn contest.
