A re-jig of the fixtures means there are only now two games going ahead in the Shimmin Wilson Manx Shield on Saturday.

Three fixtures were meant to go ahead, but now only a couple will take place.

PDMS Southern Nomads should continue their march toward the Shimmin Wilson Manx Shield title when they face Ramsey B at King William's College.

In the other game of the day, Douglas Celts head to QEII to face Western Vikings.

Like Vagabonds, Vikings have had some personnel issues and despite a couple of big wins, there have been walkovers too.

On their day, Vikings can be highly effective.

Danny Howard has 13 tries already this season and Ryan Burke is third in the golden boot charts with 24 successful conversions.

That said Douglas are likely to be too strong for them.

The Celts have a talented squad with tries able to come from anywhere.

Second rower Conor McCaughan is among their top scorers this season.
