Football: Eight progress to Cowell Cup quarter-finals

Laxey and Corinthians among big winners in Monday fixtures

Eight teams now remain in this year's Cowell Cup competition following the first round proper of the 2026 event for Under-21 teams last night (11 May).

During Monday's contests, Corinthians and Laxey were the the biggest winners with both claiming 9-1 victories over Castletown and Douglas & District respectively.

Another putting a convincing win on the board was Braddan who emerged 6-1 victors over Michael United whilst Ramsey Youth Centre & Old Boys (Rycob.) earned a narrow 2-1 success at home to Peel.

Meanwhile, Onchan did enough to gain a 1-0 win at Rushen United  and Ramsey were winners over Douglas High School Old Boys (DHSOB.)

Elsewhere, two teams - Foxdale and Governors Athletic - had already progressed to the quarter-final stage having received first-round byes.

The 2026 Cowell Cup quarter-finals will take place this Thursday (14 May).

Football action resumes tonight (12 May) with four clashes in Ardern & Druggan Ltd. Division 2, kicking-off at 6.30pm.

The one Canada Life Men's Premier League game which had been due to take place tonight between Ramsey and Rushen United has been awarded as a home walkover to Ramsey as Rushen United are unable to field a team.
