The first Old Firm clash of the season between Rushen United and Peel at a soggy Croit Lowey ended in a breathless 2-2 draw.
Rhys Oates’s free-kick gave the westerners a first-half lead only for Jack Snidal’s looped cross to clink off the post and in and deservedly level things up at the start of the second 45.
Peel thought that had weathered Rushen’s second-half storm and snatched a late winner when Dan Simpson rifled in an 82nd-minute strike to make it 1-2.
The Spaniards, however, roared back once more and Jamie Johnston fired in five minutes later to give United a deserved share of the Premier League encounter’s spoils.
The only other top-flight game to survive the weather saw Laxey continue their 100 per cent start to the campaign with an 8-2 win at Douglas Royal. The result moves the Miners top of the fledgling standings.
In JCK Division Two, St John’s came from two goals down to beat Douglas and District 2-4 and move top of the second-tier standings.
Ayre survived two late goals from Braddan to beat the Swans 3-2 in Andreas.
Michael United were also narrow winners, beating Malew 5-4 with Calum Morrissey, Nick Hurt and Ciaran McNulty among the scorers for the Aces.
Elsewhere, RYCOB beat Governor’s Athletic 4-2, Colby triumphing at Gymns by the same scoreline.
