Island hockey teams are in national competition this weekend, with five Manx sides involved in the England Hockey Championships, the Manx Hockey Association said.
The association said the island’s Women’s O35s play Crewe Vagrants at the National Sports Centre (NSC) on Sunday 15 November, while four junior teams make the trip to the North West. The U16 and U18 boys sides have both been given byes into the next round, and the association wished the juniors safe travels.
The Men’s O35s are already through their opening fixtures. According to the association, they beat Macclesfield 7-0 in Liverpool last Sunday after an earlier win over Chester. Karl Moore scored a hat-trick and Andy Whiting was named player of the match. The squad also thanked Elliot Reid, who travelled with the team to umpire.
In the domestic game, Manx Radio Sport reported that Bacchas A could wrap up the mixed premier title, with under a month of this year’s mixed league season remaining.
In rugby, Ramsey are away at Hoylake in the quarter-finals of the Cheshire Plate, according to Manx Radio Sport and Isle of Man Today. Both outlets said Southern Nomads are at home to Douglas Celts in the Manx Shield.
Football has two meetings between leading sides. Manx Radio Sport said the Premier League’s two unbeaten teams face each other this weekend, as do the current top two in Division 2. Isle of Man Today reported that Union Mills host Corinthians in a top-of-table clash.
Across the water, FC Isle of Man’s manager is looking for a “reset” when the Ravens visit AFC Liverpool, Manx Radio Sport reported, with the club’s poor league run yet to end.

On the hills, Isle of Man Today said 76 runners lined up for the Narradale fell race, which began near Sulby Claddagh. Richmond won, continuing a good run of form.
Away from sport, students on University College Isle of Man’s Construction, Architecture and Surveying course recently toured Dandara’s Quay West development in Douglas. The details come from a Dandara news release published by the college. The Waterside at Quay West will have 109 apartments.
Dandara project manager Adrian Jackson said visits of this kind help “bridge the gap between education and industry”. Sam Warren, Head of Environment and Sustainability Faculty at UCM, said they let students see classroom learning “come to life on the construction site”.
