Rugby: IOM dominate Rest of World

Multiple hat-tricks for Martin twins

The final round of Manx Rugby’s pre-season friendlies took place at Port-e-Chee and saw an Isle of Man team beat the Rest of the World 88-17 in another high scoring game.

Twin brothers Craig and Kyle Martin bagged a hatful of tries between them.

Craig's first half hat-trick was perhaps the highlight as the IOM side ran up a 34-10 half time lead.

Adam Dunlop and Jack Roberts went in at the other end to keep the RoW in with a sniff.

The pacier IOM side stepped on the gas in the second half with Kyle Martin running in two before switching sides and scoring for RoW in the closing stages.

The domestic players now have a week off before the start of the Ravenscroft Manx Trophy and Bowl competitions on 2 October.
