Douglas denied win by last gasp conversion

Manx Rugby Round-Up

Glossop snatch last gasp draw

Douglas looked to be on the road to a much needed victory at Port-e-Chee leading by seven in the final minute but a last minute try drew Glossop within two points and the conversion meant the game ended in a 22-22 draw.

Douglas led 8-5 at half time with a try from Charlie Henthorn and a Luke Hyland penalty just getting the better of Chris Sonzak’s try for the visitors. Second half tries from Craig Martin and Luke Hyland both converted by Hyland seemed to be enough for the win but Glossop hit back with tries from Jon Tennant and Alex Hughes to pull them back into contention and Greg Moran’s last minute try allowed Matt Sonzak to kick the conversion and give his side three points on the road.

 

Wins for Vagabonds and Nomads in Ravenscroft Manx Plate

Vagabonds Hornets and Emerging Nomads both grabbed wins in the opening round of the Manx Plate. The Hornets beat Western Vikings 41-20 at Ballafletcher while Emerging Nomads beat Ramsey B 31-20 at the Mooragh Park.

 

A Connor Cracknell try gave Ramsey an early lead at The Mooragh but Nomads hit back with tries from Tony Quinn, Percy Hampton and Pat Creer to lead 15-5 at the break. Hampton bagged his second midway through the second half to extend the lead before Ramsey closed the gap with a Chris King score. In the closing stages though Nomads raced away. Tony Quinn went in for his second, Liam Savage added one on his senior debut and converted it himself and Orry Watterson finished off proceedings.

 

At Ballafletcher Cam Findlay notched up a hat trick for Vagas Hornets. Matt Rockwell, Callum Murray, Mitch Wells and Cole Donnelly also crossed with Tom Rowley and Cam Findlay also adding three conversions between them. Vikings picked up a useful bonus point with a hat trick of tries from skipper Ed Knight and one from Gary Stephenson.
