Title favourites Vagas B hit top spot in the Shimmin Wilson Manx Shield with a 15-7 win away at bottom side Emerging Nomads.
Michael Oates was the dangerman for Vagas.
He scored a try, a conversion and a penalty early on to give Vagas a 10-0 lead.
Nomads battled hard but when Danny Kermode picked up Vagas’ second try, they were home and hosed.
Vagas now lead Southern Nomads at the top of the table by a point but crucially, they have a game in hand.
