St George's on the rampage

Is there any stopping the champions retaining the Canada Life Premier League?

The question is being asked after St George’s demolished third placed Laxey 12-0 on Saturday.

They turned on the style at Glencrutchery Road in a romp which left their opponents reeling.

Callum Morrissey was the star of the show with a double hat-trick.

His six goals destroyed the Miners as the Geordies went on the rampage.

Ciaran McNulty (two), Joey Morling (two), Frank Jones and Chris Bass grabbed the others as they moved nine points clear at the summit.

Rushen United are now third after seeing off Ayre United 6-1 at Croit Lowey.

The in-form Jamie Johnstone led the way with a hat-trick and was joined on the scoresheet by Liam Cowin, Michael Baker and Steve Ridings.

Jamie Collister notched the Ayre consolation.

St Mary’s overcame a scare before seeing off relegation threatened Ramsey Youth Centre.

Steven Priestnal and Steven Glover (two) were on target for the Saints as they raced into a 3-0 lead.

However, Tom Hall and Damien Owen replied to ensure it was tight at the end.

In JCK Division Two, Gymns kept alive their promotion hopes with a 6-1 win at lowly Governors Athletic, for whom Daniel Thirwell was on target.
