Royal blitz Town

Foxdale win nine goal thriller

Douglas Royal are flying high in JCK Division Two.

The leaders won 7-2 at Castletown on Saturday to severely damage Town’s promotion hopes.

Paul Whitley was the star of the show with four goals in the romp.

Chris Anderson, Andrew Lancaster and an own goal meant Alex Crawley and Dan McLaughlin’s replies were consolations.

Braddan are up to second after also hitting seven, this time with a 7-0 home success over lowly Michael United.

Two penalties from Andy Glover and goals from Stuart Pacey, Mikey Hutton, Joe Andrews, Michael Hegarty and Lee Curer sealed the win.

Foxdale are still in the mix after edging a nine goal thriller at Tromode.

Kevin Pulman (two), Scott Kermeen, Jay Chatwood and Stephen Betteridge scored the goals in a 5-4 win at Gymns, who found the net through Jordan Cooper (two), regular marksman Max Stokoe and Nick Bowden.

Ramsey Youth Centre had too much know-how for Onchan, who scored through Josh Brockbank, in a 2-1 win at Lezayre Road.

Malew gained a fine 2-2 draw at Pulrose.

Barry English had given the hosts an interval lead with Owen Canipa netting the other.

Jordi Krypner and Ashley Egan were on target for the spirited southerners.

Improving Governor’s Athletic were 6-3 winners over Douglas and District, whose goals were scored by Robert McCowliff (two) and Daniel Stewart Clague.
