The Saints clinched a 53-28 win over high flying league debutant Spartans in Week 6 games played at the Sunyani Technical University (STU) Court.
Beating Spartans ends the tertiary institution’s poor run in the competition this season; Saints had just a win in five games heading to the contest.
Despite being a new face in the division, Spartans have been in fine form with four wins in five games and in second place. However, the team’s second loss pushes them to third in the standings.
The two teams above Spartans, Braves and Young Boys, clinched respective wins over STU and LIR Royals in the round.
Defending champions Suncity Braves piped STU 42-41 in a tough battle between the unbeaten duo and Young Boys topped LIR Royals with a 34-28 win.
Young Boys are unbeaten in four games and have five wins in six games in its first run in the league. In other results, Techiman Merchants beat West Siders 58-29 while Desert Rabbits beat Barracks Scorpions 33-25.
