Ramsey continued their bid to avoid the drop with a 10-0 win over Dukinfield at Mooragh Park.
The northerners led 10-0 at half-time with a try from Lance Wyllie, converted by Fintan Cummins who also added a penalty.
When Cummins left the field with an injury, Ramsey’s progress faltered and they were unable to build on their lead in the second half.
