There’s a potentially big game at the head of the Canada Life Premier League standings on Saturday afternoon.
Of course, the match between leaders Corinthians and hosts Rushen United will first have to beat the tail-end of the week’s wet weather.
If the fixture at Croit Lowey does go ahead it should be a corker. The Spaniards currently sit second in the standings, a point shy of the Whites who have played a game less.
This will be the first time the two sides have met this campaign, with the weather claiming the season’s earlier scheduled fixture between the two.
With St George’s only a couple of points behind the pair, but with games in hand, a defeat would prove a big blow to both sides’ respective title tilts. This one could go either way.
Peel remain in the bracket of ’championship contenders’, but only just after their defeat at the hands of Geordies a couple of weeks ago.
They face a tricky western derby against St John’s this Saturday as they aim to keep themselves in the mix.
Rick Holden will show little sentiment against his former club as the Johnners try to defend a 100 per cent record in all competitions since the turn of the year.
This is the first of two meetings for the pair in a week, with the duo set to face off in the FPI FA Cup semi-finals the following week.
Saturday’s other two league games feature teams at the division’s sharp end.
Bottom side Ramsey travel to Laxey on Saturday aiming to build on some improved recent performances that saw them pick up only their second win of the campaign.
Indeed, Laxey might yet cough up some more points, with the Miners only playing once this calendar year.
Third-bottom Colby may also be eyeing the opportunity of some vital points for their survival fund, when they travel to out-of-sorts Douglas Athletic.
Craig Purvis lost his first match in charge of the Pinks last week against a determined Peel, but will be hopeful of chalking up a maiden league win against a Colby side that hasn’t registered a point since December.
