Rushen beat southern rivals Castletown 3-0 in the swirling mist at Croit Lowey on Wednesday night to move a step closer to winning the Sure Mobile Premier League.
Two goals from Josh Kelly and an effort from Jack Saxon mean Rushen need to beat Michael at home next Wednesday evening to lift the silverware for the first time in 22 years.
Captain Paul Jones says the players are remaining calm as excitement builds:-
Laxey maintained their outside chance with a 3-2 win over Peel at Glen Road. However, St. Mary's challenge is over after they crashed to a 5-1 loss against Old Boys at Blackberry Lane.
