Castletown R.U.F.C.

With the permission of Castletown Commissioners a pitch was marked out at Poulsom Park and posts erected, although short at first.

Generously moustachioed utility man James Jones missed most of the season travelling with work or by rickshaw, regular try scorer Barry Irvine suffered a potentially career ending knee injury early in the season and powerhouse prop Ruan Badenhorst incurred a broken leg while attempting to gain a winning try at Mooragh Park against Ramsey B.

Despite these set backs morale remained high throughout and 'Town managed to secure a number of impressive wins throughout the season to ensure they made the Manx Bowl final.

The season ended with a fine success in the Manx Bowl final with a hard fought 10-8 victory over a strong Ramsey B side.

[1] Following a raucous annual dinner the club are hoping to build on this success and defend their crown next season.
