PS I’m Starting a petition for all Manx footy to always kick off at 1. Done, out the way, and able to get the 3 o’clock kick offs in! Think of the local economic benefits to the pubs as well!

The referee has deemed our pitch unplayable this afternoon (after being surrounded by Castletown players & coaches wanting it off). A decision that has baffled us but there we go! First team OFF. Combi going ahead at The Stadium in Castletown. Get down and support. 🟣🟡
