Castletown captain Oliver Steriopulos celebrates with brother Christian

Castletown defeated Cronkbourne by four wickets on Saturday to win the Isle of Man Premiership.

It is the southerners third title in five years and fittingly it was their captain Oliver Steriopulos who hit the winning runs.

Steriopulos told BBC Isle of Man: "It's been a really good season and it's nice to get the title wrapped up early."

The southerners dismissed Cronkbourne for 105 after 39 overs, before chasing down their total.

"We've got a really good blend of youth and experience at the club so the future looks good," he added.

Meanwhile, second placed St John's may have lost their crown, but they put on a sparkling display to defeat Ramsey by seven wickets.
