Vagabonds pulled off a resounding victory at struggling Aspull, thumping their hosts 45-12 to pull a couple of points clear of the relegation zone in EuroManx South Lancashire/Cheshire Division One.
Abrasive flanker Bryan Kennaugh grabbed two tries as Vagas finally got up a good head of steam after a disappointing spell.
Other scores came from Leigh Kennaugh, Ean Mousely, Tim Perrin, Mark Purcell and Pablo Paladino, with skipper Jonny Beckley kicking five conversions.
