A 4-3 win against Jersey Scottish at Les Quennevais on Sunday dislodged the previous leaders from the summit with Tower leading the division with the first of three sets of round-robin matches now played.
But the championship remains wide open with Scottish two points adrift of the leaders and Jersey Wanderers and St Paul’s a further point behind.
St Brelade are bottom, five points adrift, but they continue to give a good account of themselves.
Tower manager Simon Lester said: ‘I think we deserved to win; we played well as a team and that was pleasing.
No one really stood out, maybe Dean Jones in attack because he was lively, but it was team-work that got us the result.’ Jones finished off a good move to put Tower ahead only for Scottish to equalise following a good clean finish by Declan Sowney.
Tom Gibbs then did the hard work to give Joe Davies a tap-in, Davies scoring on his début after joining Tower from Grouville.
Peter Rothwell, who had a fine match, conceded a penalty and Scottish’s Jordan McBride picked himself up to make it 2-2, Tower goalkeeper Daniel Kitchen very close to saving the kick.
Jones rattled the crossbar with a shot before he was rewarded with Tower’s third goal.
Gibbs, playing as a striker this season as opposed to midfield last season, then made it 4-2; again after good passing and movement for his fifth goal in three games.
Scottish reduced the deficit with McBride’s second, five minutes from the end, again the result fine team work to set up a lively finish.
Scottish manager Pat Brennan said: ‘Tower played well; it was a good game.
It’s a good division and any one of four clubs can win it.
‘It’s good to see young footballers play and I’m pleased for young Danny Huelin, he is a first-year boy in the age group and he is turning in some very steady performances.’ Wanderers overcame a sticky start to eventually beat St Brelade 4-0 at the Hockey Club.
Wanderers manager Jon Hannah said: ‘We were not at the races for the first 20 minutes, St Brelade had a couple of good chances and they hit a post.
I made three substitutions to liven things up and eventually we got back into it.
‘We had a bit of luck when Jay Reid’s cross-cum-shot went in off the inside of a post and then two goals inside a couple of minutes finished St Brelade off.
‘Full marks to St Brelade, they are hard-working and an improving side and they are starting to impress the other teams.’ Tim Cupit, who spent half-term at Plymouth Argyle, nodded Wanderers two-up following a corner kick.
Dane Sutton made it 3-0 after Reid slid him in and Ciaran Cooper showed good skill to net Wanderers’ fourth.
St Ouen and St Peter closed the gap on Division II leaders Sporting Academics, who were without a game, to two points.
Matthew Sutherland and Joseph Baugh both scored twice and Philip Jordan once in St Ouen’s 5-3 home win against St John.
The visitors replied with a brace from Michael Clayden and Fabio dos Santos’ single.
