The Canada Life Premier League’s current top two put their unbeaten starts to the season on the line when they meet at Garey Mooar on Saturday.

Hosts Union Mills have been one of the stories of the season, winning six and drawing three of their nine top-flight games so far this campaign to put them on course for a rare Railway Cup appearance.

Ryan Kelly’s side take on league leaders Corinthians this weekend with the pair only separated by a couple of points - the Whites having won seven and drawn two so far this term.

Steve Burns’s charges have had a couple of weeks off since a 7-0 shellacking of Colby, while Mills go into the contest after a hard-fought 1-1 draw with reigning champions Peel.

This should be a cracking contest, but three points for Corinthians would give them some daylight at the head of the standings.

Elsewhere in the top flight, Old Firm duo Rushen United and Peel meet at Croit Lowey.

The hosts have had a tough start to the season winning only their second game of the season last time out against Braddan.

The Spaniards will, however, raise their game for a contest against their western rivals who need to win to keep their hopes of Railway Cup qualification alive.

St Mary’s, St John’s and Onchan are the other teams in the mix for the Railway Cup.

The former play their final game of the first half of the season when they host the Johnners at the Bowl, in the afternoon’s earlier kick-off.

A point would probably not suit either side, so expect a cup-tie feel to this one.

Onchan are the outsiders in the Railway Cup qualification race and need to claim two wins in their remaining first-half-of-the-season matches against Laxey and Rushen to have any chance of qualifying.

The Os travel to Glen Road on Saturday with the pair side-by-side in mid-table. Expect another close contest.

The Premier League’s final game this weekend sees Braddan travel to Ramsey.

The pair are only four points apart in the lower depths of mid-table, but the Swans have taken all their points away from Victoria Road this term and may claim another to edge further clear from the division’s relegation spot that is currently occupied by RYCOB.

There’s a tasty looking clash at the head of Ardern and Druggan Division Two on Saturday as the top two go head-to-head at Billy Goat Park.

Leaders Castletown have a seven-point lead over the weekend’s hosts Foxdale, but the westerners have played two games fewer than their title rivals.

Town have won their last four, while Foxdale have won their last seven since opening day defeat at Malew. This should be a corker.

Malew can keep the pressure up on the top two if they come away from a trip to Michael United with three points.

Pulrose United will also be hoping to keep themselves in the promotion mix when they travel to Blackberry Lane to face DHSOB.

Marown make the trip to Andreas with the pair mired in mid-table. Only a point separates the pair in the Crosby outfit’s favour.

Finally there’s a derby of sorts at Noble’s Park where Douglas and District host Glencrutchery Road neighbours St George’s.

Bottom side D and D have yet to win this term and may struggle to rectify that against a Geordies side who beat Douglas Royal 6-0 at the weekend.
