Douglas claimed the Ravenscroft Manx Cup with a 23-14 win in the final against Ramsey with wing Sam McCord picking up two tries in a hard fought match at Port-e-Chee.
McCord finished off a Kyle Martin break to put Douglas ahead in the sixth minute with Luke Hyland converting. Brandon Atchison converted his own try to level the scores but two penalties late in the first half from Jack Shimmin and Luke Hyland saw the teams turn around with Douglas 13-7 in front.
McCord bagged his second just after the break to extend the Douglas lead and when Douglas captain Rob Todd went over Douglas were 23-7 in front. A yellow card for Luke Hyland allowed Ramsey back into the game and with just under five to play Dan Richmond sneaked in for Ramsey. Brandon Atchison converted but Ramsey couldn’t add to their tally in the time remaining.
