Report by Dave Christian: Douglas’ charge for sixth place in Regional 2 North West continued with a 38-14 bonus point win against Winnington Park at Port-e-Chee. Douglas ran in six tries in total and led 21-7 at half time. Topping the scoresheet was centre James Ross with two and there were also tries from Harry Hewson, Josh Duncan, Cal Dentith and skipper Blake Snell - Nathan Robson added four conversions. Douglas’ rivals for sixth are Altrincham Kersal and a 40-19 defeat for them at Sandbach means Douglas do move into sixth by virtue of a superior points difference and both sides have just one match remaining. Vagabonds' toil continues 'Vagas' lost 69-8 away at Dukinfield in Counties 3 ADM Lancs/Cheshire as their arduous fixture list nears its end. Even the return of captain Dan Bonwick from a knee injury ironically sustained against Dukinfield, couldn’t turn the tide. Cam Findlay went over for Vagabonds' only try and he kicked a penalty too. Vagas face Colne & Nelson at Ballafletcher next week in their penultimate game. Ramsey underway in Manx Cup Ramsey got their Manx Cup off to a flying start winning 37-10 away at Southern Nomads.
