Royal win scintillating battle at the bottom

Laxey 4-5 Douglas Royal

Douglas Royal made it four matches unbeaten as they edged a nine-goal thriller with Laxey in a battle at the bottom of the Canada Life Premier League.

The hosts battled back from 4-1 down at Glen Road to set-up a grandstand finish, but The Miners slipped to defeat as Jamie Agnew bagged the winner.

Tempers flared towards the end of the match which resulted in substitute Chris Anderson receiving his marching orders.

A point for Marown in their 2-2 draw with Douglas Athletic means Laxey slip to the foot of the table, with Royal seven points clear in tenth.
