Now Playing Let Loose Best In Me

Title race hots up

The race for the Sure Mobile Premier League hotted up on Saturday.

Newly crowned Railway Cup winners Rushen United moved up to second with an important 1-0 win over Laxey, courtesy of Chris Shimmin’s 32nd minute goal.

And a Steve Priestnal hat-trick fired St Mary's to a 3-0 success over Corinthians at the Bowl as the Saints moved third.

Elsewhere, Ayre United remain in the relegation zone after going down 2-1 at home to Union Mills.

The Tangerines led at the break through Sam Ferguson but a second half brace from Sam Cain sealed the points for the Millers.

Michael did their survival prospects no harm at all with a 2-1 home victory over Ramsey, thanks to goals from Nick Hurt and Johnny Holland with Danny Oram - a year after undergoing open heart surgery – responding for Ramsey.

And fifth placed Old Boys took the points from another close fought game at Glen Road, edging out Colby 2-1.

Callum Stewart was the Old Boys hero with a double with Mark Barron replying for Colby.
