Ramsey B go top in Manx Bowl

Ramsey B ran out comfortable winners with a 57-12 victory over Castletown at Poulsom Park to take top spot in the early stages of the Shimmin Wilson Manx Bowl.

Barry Irvine’s try, converted by Gary Stephenson, put Castletown ahead early on but Ramsey hit back with tries from Orry Watterson and two from Josh Carine, both converted by Ben Harding, to lead 19-7 at half-time.

In the second half, Ramsey added further scores from Mark Oldfield (two), Pete Richardson and Andy Bunce, with Carine also sneaking one over to complete his hat-trick.

Castletown pinched a late consolation when Irvine went in for his second but it was too little too late.
