For most teams there are only two games left to play in Manx Hockey Association’s mixed leagues, with titles almost decided in both PwC Mixed Divisions One and Two.
First up to try and win their respective title is Vikings B who entertain a Harlequins A side that almost earned a point the last time the two sides met.
During midweek, Vikings B condemned their own C team to relegation by beating them convincingly and now only require a point to guarantee the title, so their destiny is in their own hands. Harlequins will be looking to upset the party by taking both points on offer.
Ramsey Ravens will be hoping other results go their way in their quest for the PwC Mixed Division Two title and will attempt to win against their own Rookies team.
If Valkyrs C drop any points at all and Saracens Colts lose, coupled with a Ravens win, then the title will be heading to Ramsey.
In PwC Mixed Division Three there is a very slim chance that Vikings D could end the weekend as champions.
But it not only relies on them winning their own game against Valkyrs D, but it also requires their own Vikings Colts team to beat Harlequins Colts - the past two games between the pair have ended with Harlequins winning by two goals.
The only division which isn’t possible to be won this weekend is PwC Mixed Premier League and this will in all likelihood come down to the final game of the season between Bacchas A and Vikings A.
The latter will look to condemn Bacchas B to relegation this weekend, with Bacchas B needing at least a point to take the relegation battle into the final week.
Bacchas A take on Castletown Celts in a game where the former will look to exert their dominance early on and continue to increase their goal difference.
Other games across the leagues include an intriguing game between Saracens Colts against Cammags and Bacchas Colts versus Valkyrs C in PwC Mixed Division Two.
Bacchas Colts need to earn at least one point to try and stave off relegation while Saracens Colts, with their two games in hand on the rest, will look to exert pressure on Ramsey Ravens and prevent them winning the title this weekend.
The other game not mentioned in PwC Mixed Division One sees Bacchas C take on Saracens Sabres, with the latter looking to secure second place in the league.
Finally, in PwC Mixed Division Three the two games not already mentioned see Bacchas D face off against bottom-of-the-table Saracens Sharks, and Southerners take on Harlequins B.
