Wins for Ramsey and Western Vikings in their Cheshire Plate ties raised the spectre of an all-Manx Plate Final. Ramsey have completed their round of fixtures and have qualified for the final. Vikings have one remaining game against Port Sunlight next Saturday and a win will qualify them for the final too.
Ramsey beat Moore 34-27 on the road and confirmed their place in the final. Skipper Matt Meechan opened up the scoring for Ramsey when he charged down an attempted clearance kick. Brandon Atchison converted and added a penalty to extend the early lead. Nathan Robson sneaked in for Ramsey’s second try before Atchison ran in the first of his two for the day which he converted himself to give Ramsey a 22-10 half time lead. Moore rallied after the break but Atchison’s second plus a late score from Magnus Black and an Atchison conversion made sure of the win.
