St Georges pip Peel to Manx title

Football

St Georges were crowned Sure Mobile Premier League champions on Wednesday with a 6-1 win over Douglas High School Old Boys at Glencrutchery Road.

The three points saw Geordies edge out long-term leaders Peel by just a solitary point and claim their fifth title in six years.

Manager Chris Bass Senior was delighted with his sides performance.

"To do what we did tonight in the manner that we did it shows the sign of a great side," he said.

"Five titles in six years is a great achievement."

The Glencrutchery Road outfit led 3-0 at half time through promising youngster James McStay, Chris Bass Jr and Calum Morrissey.

Old Boys started the second half well but a stunning strike from Chris Melly halted the FA Cup winners momentum.

Gary Quirk pulled one back for Old Boys, but strikes from Melly and substitute Conor Doyle finished the job for the Geordies.
