The penultimate weekend of the Manx mixed hockey leagues saw two division titles decided with one of fixtures to spare, as well as seeing some sides being relegated.

MIXED PREMIER LEAGUE

In the Premier League, Ramsey Crookall Bacchas A took home the league title in dominant fashion following a huge 8-0 victory against J. Qualtrough & Co Castletown Celts.

Haldane Fisher Valkyrs A wrapped up second place in the top flight after a well-deserved win against Athena Healthcare Harlequins A who will be disappointed with that result.

The book has now closed on J. Qualtrough & Co Castletown Southerners’ spell in the Premier League after they lost out 4-0 to Canaccord Wealth Vikings A.

After a loss earlier in the season to Canaccord Wealth Vikings B, Ramsey Crookall Bacchas B took the win this time around, coming away with a 4-1 result.

MIXED DIVISION ONE

The incredibly close title fight in Division One continues to go right down to the wire, with Athena Healthcare Harlequins B moving up in the table to push Ramsey Crookall Bacchas C down the standings following a 2-1 win for Quins.

Ramsey A just edged a 3-2 victory over Haldane Fisher Valkyrs C to also remain well in with a chance of promotion.

Finally in the second tier, Haldane Fisher Valkyrs B recorded a big 6-0 win against Canaccord Wealth Vikings C to ensure they are the third side also looking to claim promotion heading into the final day of the mixed season.

MIXED DIVISION TWO
