Vagabonds beat Sale 10-8 at Glencrutchery Road on Saturday but remain far from safety in South Lancashire/Cheshire Division One.

The win was Vagabonds' third of the season and means they are just two points above bottom side Warrington.

Sale had the chance to draw level when they scored a last minute try but missed their conversion.

"This was a must-win game and we rose to the challenge," Vagabonds captain Kevin Birchall said.

"We must win all our home games now to avoid a relegation fight."

Meanwhile, in Division Two, Douglas were beaten 26-7 by second-placed Liverpool Collegiate.

Castletown moved off the bottom of the Shimmin Wilson Manx Shield after a 16-10 victory over Ramsey B.
