Prospect of all-Manx final still a possibility
Report by Dave Christian:
Wins for Ramsey and Western Vikings in their Cheshire Plate ties raised the spectre of an all-Manx Plate Final.
Ramsey beat Moore 34-27 on the road to seal their place in the final Skipper Matt Meechan opened up the scoring and further tries from Nathan Robson and Brandon Atchison who also bagged two conversions and a penalty gave Ramsey a 22-10 half time lead.
Moore rallied after the break but Atchison’s second plus a late score from Magnus Black and an Atchison conversion made sure of the win.
Vikings brushed aside a travel delay to brush Oldershaw aside 45-21 - Ed Knight continued his fine form with a hat trick of tries.
There were two each from Morgan Armstrong-Paton and Harvey Callister and Ryan Burke kicked five conversions.
Vikings play Port Sunlight next Saturday and a win will see them face Ramsey in the final which is on a date to be fixed in February.
