Douglas B set down marker

The Douglas B back line was on fire at the Mooragh Park on Saturday as they swept Ramsey B aside 46-6 in the opening game in the Shimmin Wilson Manx Trophy.

Liam King was the main man for Douglas with a second half hat-trick, but all the hard work was done in the first half with Scott Goodall pulling the strings from stand-off.

Douglas’ tries came from Andy Jones, Ryan Maddox, Scott Goodall, Jack Moore and Carl Conroy, along with the King treble.

Scott Goodall also added three conversions.

Ramsey’s points came courtesy of two Dan Bonwick penalties.

In the Shimmin Wilson Manx Bowl, Vagabonds B just edged out Emerging Nomads 13-10 at Ballafletcher.

Tom Gascoyne bagged a try for Vagas and the rest of their points came from the boot of Michael Oates.
