Only two football matches survived the weather on Saturday but one of them was vitally important.

Rushen United are the new leaders of the Sure Mobile Premier League after a 3-1 home victory over battling Ramsey.

They had to do it the hard way, coming from behind to defeat the northerners at Croit Lowey after they had led through an early own goal.

An Aaron Hawley double and a Tom Craine strike secured the points and moved the southerners a point ahead of Peel at the summit.

The only other game resulted in a comprehensive 3-0 victory for Castletown over Corinthians in Sure Mobile Combination One, courtesy of goals from Martin Charker (two) and Sam Taylor.
