There was also a notable double success at Mooragh Park where Northern Spaniards and Ramsey both picked up some end of season silverware.

The Spaniards beat Castletown 23-6 in the final of the Shimmin Wilson Manx Bowl.

Town led 6-0 early on after Dan O’Connor knocked over two penalties.

The Spaniards took charge at the end of the first half though with tries from Michael Stroud and Chris Melvin.

They piled on the pressure in the second half with two Dave Edge penalties and, as Castletown chased the game, the Spaniards bagged a late try from Gareth Hinge to seal the game.

The inaugural MRFU Challenge Cup also stayed north as Ramsey edged out Vagabonds B 8-7 in a largely uninteresting game.

It was 0-0 at half time thanks to some aggressive defending by both sides.

Ramsey took the lead early in the second half with a Danny Turner try and, when Shaun Wyllie added a penalty, the game looked to be over.

Vagas had other ideas and when Graham Corran’s late try was converted by Danny Williams, it seemed a late comeback was on the cards, but Ramsey held on to clinch a league and cup double.
