After the opening two weeks of the Rossborough Mixed Division One hockey league, two teams have maintained a 100 percent winning record.
The sides in question are Valkyrs C and Harlequins B and this weekend the former face Bacchas Colts who overcame a strong Southerners side last week in an end-to-end game.
The young Colts side certainly have the tenacity to overcome Valkyrs and cause a surprise. Harlequins take on Castletown Southerners with the latter side looking to bounce back from their excruciating defeat to Colts. Quins will need everything they have to come away with the win here.
Elsewhere, Vikings C will be looking to kick start their season when they face Ramsey Ravens and there is an interclub derby when Castletown Cammags take on Castletown Cushags.
l The Rossborough Mixed Premier League saw two surprising results last Saturday, with Ramsey A defeating Valkyrs A while the game of the day saw Vikings B beat Bacchas A thanks to a goal in the last minute.
Bacchas A will look to bounce back against Ramsey A and need to be on top form to overcome the northerners following their fantastic win last week. Valkyrs A take on Bacchas B and should have the strength to overcome Bacchas’ second string.
Elsewhere, Castletown Celts take on last week’s heroes Vikings B and, despite the latter’s heroics last Saturday, Town will be hoping they can take a point or two from this match. Finally, Vikings A will need to remain focused when they travel to Peel to take on Valkyrs B who, despite not yet earning any points, have an array of attacking talent that can punish any side in the league.
l There are four sides currently top of the Mixed Division Two table level on points with two wins in two games, namely Vikings D, Harlequins B, Ramsey Rookies and Valkyrs D.
Vikings D are many people’s favourites to take the title but, with the other three teams keeping them honest in the league so far, it is still anyone’s to win.
Harlequins B and Valkyrs D go head-to-head and put their 100 percent starts on the line -with both sides looking equally as impressive, it is hard to pick a winner from this one but a draw won’t do and each team will be going all out for the win.
Vikings D take on Castletown Cosney and, with the All Blacks the more experienced side boasting a pace advantage, few will bet against them in this clash.
Ramsey Rookies face off with Castletown Carrick and will be the favourites against the southerners’ sixth - having already beaten their fifth team, Ramsey will be confident of the victory.
