The good results for Manx League sides continued when Douglas swatted aside Trentham in a scrappy game at Port-e-Chee in South Lancashire/Cheshire Division Two.
A try, a penalty and a conversion, all from Bryn Snellgrove, gave Douglas a 10-0 half-time lead.
In the second half, Niall Killey and Geoff Miles both added to Douglas’ try tally with the busy Snellgrove also bagging another penalty and conversion to give him a personal haul of 15 points.
