It was left to Douglas to keep the Manx end up in the opening game of the season and they did in style, winning 24-0 away at Ellesmere Port, picking up a winning bonus point in the process.
Will Latta was the star of the show for Douglas picking up a hat-trick of tries, two in the first half and one in the second.
Tom Quayle also crossed for Douglas to secure the bonus point and Snellgrove added a second conversion to round off an impressive opening day performance.
