Ramsey’s first foray into the RFU Vase was successful with a 17-5 win against Liverpool University on Saturday.

Jake Severs’s try, converted by Harri Radford gave the Manx side the lead before University hit back with a try at the other end.

A Radford penalty, however, gave Ramsey a 10-5 half-time lead.

A dour second half was finally lit up in the 73rd minute when Ali Trace intercepted and ran 80 metres to score under the posts and, with Radford’s conversion, the Ramsey lead was unassailable.

Full report in Tuesday’s Examiner.
