South Manx completed a traumatic season in style as they beat last season's champions North West Neasden A 3-1 in the Premier Division.

On the verge of folding a month ago, a brace from Neasden old boy Jonny Haik plus one from Jamie Kent helped them finish the season in style against a side featuring old boys Max Shields, Elliot Stern and Ben Lampert.

Haik said: "Beating Neasden felt like winning the league. They attempted to take several of our top players but those that stayed showed great fight and determination to put in a great team effort. It felt like a fairytale and I'm glad that we've had a happy ending."

Manx manager Craig Edwards commented: "We are looking forward to next season and know we can beat any team in this league. On our day and, with a few additions, we will be right up in the mix next year."
