They bagged a try bonus point too and are now tied in seventh place with Altrincham Kersal in the Regional 2 North West standings.
A fourth-minute try from Sam McCord gave Douglas an early lead and after a period of stalemate, Bryn Snellgrove added a penalty to make it 8-0.
Charlie Henthorn went over on the cusp of half-time to make it 13-0 before Logan Lynch kicked a penalty at the other end to leave Douglas 13-0 ahead at the break.
Snellgrove added a second penalty early in the second half and from this Douglas accelerated away.
