Valkyrs too strong for Vikings; Moore nets six!

Valkyrs A inflicted a first defeat of the season on Vikings to stay top of the men’s Premier League on Saturday.

Goals from Greg Miller, Russell Miller, Chris Caldwell and Neil Jacobs sealed a 4-1 victory with Richie Gelder scoring the Vikings’ consolation.

The star of the day was Karl Moore who hit SIX as reigning champions Bacchas A hit 11 past bogey side Ramsey A.

Doubles from Andy Whiting and Phil Smith, and one from Jamie Cox, ensured an 11-1 romp.

Sam Moffatt provided Ramsey’s only goal as Bacchas stay second with a game in hand.

Valkyrs B remain bottom but gained their first point of the season in a goalless draw with Bacchas B, while Castletown were too strong for Vikings B with a 3-0 success, courtesy of Paul Kelly (two) and Adam Fretwell.

In the women’s Premier League, Vikings A continue their relentless march towards retaining the title.

They thrashed Bacchas A 6-0 with Kim Carney, Zoe Carney, Becky O’Brien, Dani Coombes, Kirsty Hunt and Delta Williams all on the scoresheet.

And they’re now five points clear after second placed Valkyrs A were beaten 2-1 by Ramsey A, who move level with their opponents as a result.
