Reigning Canada Life Premier League champions St George’s have gone top of the fledgling top-flight standings after a 14-0 win over Douglas Athletic.
Furo Davies continued his recent good run of form with a four-goal haul. Davies’ scoring feats were matched by Ciaran McNulty who was joined on the scoresheet by Joey Morling (2), Frank Jones (2), Calum Morrissey and an own goal.
Corinthians are level on points with Geordies after they edged past a spirited Laxey 1-0 thanks to Danny Gerrard’s 79th minute deflected strike.
Peel picked up their second win in as many matches, beating St Mary’s 2-1 at the Bowl.
Lee Gale gave the westerners the lead before Sammy Gelling pulled one back from the hosts.
Summer signing Shaun Kelly grabbed the game’s decisive goal midway through the second half to move Peel up the table.
Braddan continued their promising start to life in the top flight after promotion last season with a 4-2 win over Ramsey, while last year’s Division Two runners-up Douglas Royal picked up their first point in a draw with Colby.

Alex Crawley gave Town the lead in time added on at the end of the first half.
Kieran Krypner levelled for Malew at the start of the second period before Crawley edged Town ahead from the penalty spot.

There was still time for more drama as Ash Sansbury grabbed an 82nd minute winner for Town.
