It was full power from the word go as C&S Joinery A beat bottom of the table Manx Gems Rubies 50-28 in the Premier division.
Erin Whelan got C&S off to a cracking start with a string of good shots, but Rubies fought hard to stay in the game. The speed became too much in the end as C&S pushed ahead to an unbridgeable gap.

C&S Joinery C v Fencibles A
No team could find the breakthrough in this Second Division clash as Fencibles A nudged past C&S Joinery C 26-22.
With most points scored on the counter attack defence was key in this match. C&S looked to have the upper hand early on but once mistakes crept into their game Fencibles broke ahead. Fencibles are beginning to build a lead in the league along with Emeralds who also played on Sunday.
POTM; Kinrey Glassey for C&S Joinery C and Georgie Walker for Fencibles A.
Toomraiders v Ballasalla B
In this high scoring encounter the momentum never really favoured anyone Toomraiders came through with a three goal difference as they beat Ballasalla B 43-40.
Balla had the better start but failed to convert their early chances giving Toomraiders the space they needed to open the scoring. The pressure to win showed and unforced errors by both teams were more frequent than they should have been. Despite some good play Balla will be disappointed to lose their third consecutive league match.
POTM; Kate Mulhern for Toomraiders and Hannah Riley for Ballasalla B.
Fencibles B v Ashley Allstars
Ashley Allstars showed their younger counterparts how to do it on Sunday with a convincing 41-24 victory over Fencibles B.

POTM; Paige Alsop for Fencibles B and Louise Russell for Ashley Allstars.
Ballasalla A v Thompson Travel A
There was no stopping Ballasalla A as they romped to their third victory this season beating Thompson Travel convincingly 61-23.

POTM Lottie Pote for Ballasalla A and Emily Bell for Thompson A.
Missfits v C&S Joinery B
