Isle of Man Triumph in Under 17 International Tournament

The Isle of Man’s Under 17 Cricket Team have caused a major upset in the Final of the ICC Division Championships beating hot favourites Italy to take the crown.

After a shakey start the Island team came back very strong with star turns from Ryan Burns and Skipper Dan Hawke, but ultimately it was a major team effort.

The Island finished 112 to 5 to win the final by five wickets.

We found out more from our Cricket man Maurice Trace who has been at King Bills all day watching the action:
