Relegation for Saracens

Saracens A bowed out of Manx hockey’s top flight on Saturday.

They went down 3-2 to Vikings B, a result which sealed their relegation.

Saracens came from behind to lead 2-1 with 10 minutes remaining, thanks to two penalty flicks from Steve Cottier.
However, two goals from Jonny Killey and a winner from Ian Perry secured the points for Vikings and bitter disappointment for Saracens.
