Douglas delight and up to second

There was Douglas delight as they won a thriller at Port-e-Chee.

Tries from Andrew Evans and Carl Markle-Fearns, plus two conversions and a penalty from Bryn Snellgrove – who now leaves the Island for eight months - , fired them to a 17-14 home win over promotion rivals Oswestry in South Lancashire/Cheshire Division Two.

The home side came from 7-0 down to take the points and leapfrog their opponents in the table.

Douglas are now second.

Vagabonds comprehensively saw off Dukinfield 40-17 at Ballafletcher.

Ryan Windell, Johnny Beckley, Akkie van der Berg, Chris Vorster and Tom Gascoygne were among the tries.

Beckley also kicked two penalties and three conversions.

There was disappointment for Ramsey as they went down 32-14 at bottom side Trentham in the basement battle.

Ramsey, whose points were scored via a John Watling try and three penalties from Fintan Cummins, are still three points clear of their opponents.
