Young guns make honours even at St John's
Kirk Michael came away from the Sinclair Range with a draw against the hosts, IoMSC Sandsiders.
The influence of Tom Lord was palpable as there were a few new names shooting for KM, four juniors that he has been mentoring: Noah Mayne, Alicia Gale, Beth Gale, Orry Quay and all acquitted themselves well in their first league match. For the first time all season, KM actually managed to get scores on the doors in all three divisions and wins in Divisions 2 and 3.
