The Isle of Man men’s representative team progressed to the semi-finals of the Ynys Mon Inter-Island Football Tournament after defeating Alderney 6-1 at Llanderchymedd FC on Tuesday evening.

First-half goals for Jacob Crook, Lee Gale (who was captain for the evening) and Sean Doyle gave the Manx a three-goal half-time lead.

Despite the Channel Islanders pulling a goal back, second-half goals from Doyle, Gale (penalty) and Daniel Simpson ensured the Manx finished as comfortable winners.

It is the third consecutive occasion in the Inter-Island/Island Games that both the men’s and women’s teams have qualified for the semi-finals.

The women’s team play their semi-final this evening (Wednesday) against Hitra at Gaerwen FC, kicking off at 6pm.

A full match report will appear in this week’s Manx Independent.
