The two top sides in Manx hockey will meet in this season’s men’s Cup Final.

Newly crowned champions Bacchas A were already assured of a place in the final after their semi-final opponents, Castletown A, were unable to field a team.

And arch rivals Valkyrs A booked their place after being hard pushed by impressive Ramsey A.

A Greg Miller penalty and Gerry Quinn strike edged out Ramsey 2-1, for whom Dan Stevenson was on target.

The men’s plate final will be between Harlequins and Ramsey Roosters after two dramatic semi-finals.

Alex Cave and Dave Cooper were the Quins’ scorers in a 2-2 draw with Saracens before they went on to triumph 2-1 on penalties – Quins’ goalkeeper David Whiting the hero in the shoot-out.

And Ramsey Roosters caused a surprise to see off Vikings B, after a 1-1 draw, in a marathon 8-7 success on penalties.

The women’s national hockey side performed well in the UK.

They produced an impressive 2-2 draw with Lancashire - Niamh Goddard and Andrea Kneen the scorers.

Kim Carney was on target as the Island battled well, going down narrowly 3-1 to Northumberland, last year’s North of England county champions.

The Island side was also defeated 1-0 by Humberside in a closely fought match.

They take on Cheshire, Durham, and Cumbria on Sunday.
