A third minute goal from Josh Kelly and a second half blockbuster from Adam Cregeen fired them to victory.

Laxey are right in the title mix-up now after a 3-0 success over Castletown – thanks to goals from Lee Cowley, Ashley Webster and Fraser Vaughan.

Reigning champions St George's continued their improvement with a 3-0 home success over Gymns – Sean Quaye, Callum Morrissey and Chris Bass junior the marksmen as they moved up to fifth.

The Geordies were boosted by the return of long-term injury victim Mark Teare.

Union Mills remain bottom, pointless and look certain to go down.

Despite a spirited showing, they went down 3-2 at Ramsey.

Two goals from Ryan Fairclough and an own goal ensured the points for the home side with Chris Wilson netting both from Union Mills.
