Early tries from John F. Watling and Dan Bonwick, who converted both, gave them an early lead.

 

A try from Matt Broad and a penalty from Matt Swingewood hauled Linley back into the game before Johnny Mason's try gave Ramsey a 19-8 advantage at the break.

 

Dave Keenan and James Wren picked up second half tries to make the game safe for Ramsey before Swingewood picked up a late consolation score for Linley.

 

Southern Nomads exacted revenge on Douglas Celts with a 45-21 win in the Shimmin Wilson Manx Trophy on Saturday.
