Castletown grasp place in final

Cricket

Castletown beat St John's in the semi-final of the Standard Bank Knockout Challenge on Sunday to set up a meeting with Ramsey in the final.

The southerners were in top form as they dismissed the Saints for 163 and then knocked off the runs for the loss of only three wickets.

Castletown will now play Ramsey in the Final at Tromode on Sunday 9 August.

The two sides had met in the Standard Bank Premiership on Saturday with Castletown beating the league leaders.

Town's victory in the Standard Bank Premiership stemmed from a mammoth stand of 206 between Gareth Morris and Christian Steriopulos.

The pair put on 206 for the second wicket with Morris hitting 137 and Steriopulos making 75.

The southerners ended on 287-9 and had reduced Ramsey to 127-7 when the rain came.

Elsewhere, St John's moved joint top after beating Cronkbourne and Loaghtyn got the better of Crosby.

All the Standard Bank Premiership matches were cut short by a torrential downpour and were decided on run-rate.
