St George’s are back in a familiar position in the Canada Life Premier League.
The champions bounced back from their first home league defeat for five years in midweek in style with a 3-1 win at Rushen.
And they were on top from the start with two goals inside the opening 11 minutes - a cross-cum shot from Callum Morrissey and an impressive finish from his strike partner Ciaran McNulty.
The home side worked their way back into the game with Furo Davies reducing the arrears in the second half.
However, St George’s responded like champions with a deflected Johnny Myers free-kick sealing the points.
Sam Halliday was the hero with a last minute penalty save as Old Boys ended the 100 per cent start of Ramsey.
They overturned a half-time deficit to fight back to secure a 3-2 success at Blackberry Lane.
Declan Cummins and Michael Fernandez had fired the northerners in a two goal lead before James Murphy pulled one back for the home side.
Murphy levelled after the break and Martin King grabbed what turned out to be a late winner with a far post header.
Halliday then ensured it was with a penalty save in stoppage time.
St Mary’s were held at home to a frustrating goalless draw by Laxey at the Bowl, while the spoils were also shared at Mullen-e-Cloie between St John’s and Corinthians – Andy Chadwick and Sean Doyle the respective scorers.
A goal in each half from Liam Harrison, one from the penalty spot, fired Michael United to a 2-0 home win over Gymns – what could prove to be a crucial three points come the end of the campaign.
