Fellow title contenders Peel returned home with maximum points but were pushed hard by battling Ramsey before a Chris Cain double secured a 2-0 win.

Rushen maintained their outside Railway Cup hopes with a 4-0 home win over lowly Braddan, courtesy of goals from Paul Jones, Edward Pepper, Andrew Moody and Adam Cregeen.

Kieron Iveagh (two) and David Reece ensured Gymns consolidated their mid-table position with a 3-1 home success over Union Mills, with David Thommeny netting the Millers consolation.
