Old Firm to meet in Manx Plate final

Douglas B and Vagabonds B will meet in the first final of the domestic season after both eased through their respective semi-finals on Saturday.

Douglas glided past Castletown 34-5 at Poulsom Park as they bid to become the first side to win the Manx Plate and Shield in the same season.

In the other semi, which had been switched from King William’s College to Ballafletcher due to a waterlogged pitch, Vagabonds B ended Emerging Nomads’ four game winning streak with a 23-5 win.

The final is due to be played on February 4 and will be the third match up between Douglas B and Vagabonds B in just four weeks!
