Unbeaten Belt Up Amateur Premier Division leaders Jaguar are six points clear of the field after a 2-1 win over third-place East Perth on Sunday.

A victory for East Perth would have moved them to within three points of their opponents with a game in hand. But it was Jaguar who took control with first-half goals from Amin Salem and Magai Deng. Liam McManus pulled one back for East Perth but it wasn't enough.

Kwinana United, who are second, saw their game against Quinns abandoned due to a serious injury in the first half.

North Perth United are clear in fourth after they overturned a half-time deficit to beat Joondalup United 3-2, Marc Romeo scoring the winner with his second of the game 10 minutes from the end.

A Jake Loreto hat-trick was the highlight of Peel United's 5-1 victory at Queens Park, while elsewhere Emerald FC and Wembley Downs Soccer Club drew 1-1 and the Kelmscott Roos v Maddington White City ended goalless.
