A tough weekend looks in store for the Canada Life Premier League’s bottom sides.

Ramsey, who currently prop up the table with four points, travel to reigning champions St George’s in Saturday’s round of six matches.

The northerners are currently seven points from safety and third bottom Colby, but have five games in hand on the southerners.

Last time out the Ballacloan outfit lost 3-2 to relegation rivals Douglas Royal and will do exceptionally well to return back over the mountain with any points from a Geordies side still firmly in the title hunt.

Colby face an equally daunting away day with a trip to league leaders Corinthians in store for Chris McKenna’s men.

The Whites have netted 31 goals in their last three games suggesting an ominous afternoon for the league’s second leakiest defence.

Braddan’s fine early-season form seems like a distant memory now, Douglas Royal’s win last week plunging the Swans into the bottom two.

Will Smith’s team will do well to add to their top-flight survival find this weekend though as they travel to in-form Peel.

Expect Steve Falconer’s hosts to clock up a seventh win on the bounce.

Chris Feeney’s Douglas Royal have clawed their way out of the drop zone in recent weeks and travel to Blackberry Lane and DHSOB this week.

Old Boys exited the FPI FA Cup last weekend at the hands of Premier League rivals Douglas Athletic and will be eager to bounce back in this one.

Royal’s youngsters, however, are really starting to come of age and may claim an unlikely point.

Arguably the division’s game of the day is at Mullen-e-Cloie where St John’s host Laxey.

The pair drew 3-3 when they met in the reverse fixture in October and another tight encounter should be on the cards.

Rushen United know they need to keep winning if they are to keep their title hopes alive. The Spaniards welcome an improving St Mary’s to Croit Lowey on Saturday in a game that will be a test of the hosts’ championship credentials.
