Manx derby ends in rare goalless draw at Mooragh Park
Report by Dave Christian:
A 29-12 defeat of Widnes at Port-e-Chee plus a Sandbach loss at Winnington Park means Douglas go top of Regional 2 North West and have a game in hand too.
Liam Kirkpatrick led the way for Douglas with two tries.
In a day for the big men up front hooker Josh Campbell celebrated his Lancashire Under-20 call-up with a try and there was also a penalty try which secured the bonus point - Nathan Robson converted twice and added a penalty.
Douglas travel to mid-table West Park (St Helens) next Saturday (6 December).
Mother Nature 1-0 Rugby
Mother nature won the battle at the Mooragh with Ramsey and Vagabonds finishing in a no-score draw in what were difficult conditions.
A freezing north wind and driving rain made all facets of the game difficult.
Ramsey did cross the 'Vagas' line but were held up and a Theo Head break for Vagabonds got them close before the ball was knocked on.
That was pretty much the sum total of the chances, despite the efforts of both sets of players.
Cam Findlay had a couple of drop goal attempts late in the game but like everything else, they came to nought too.
