Two bumper games in prospect
The Cu Plas Railway Cup semi-finals will be staged this afternoon.
The top four sides in the Canada Life Premier League at the halfway point in the season qualify for the competition.
Leaders St. George's have been drawn against Peel with the tie being played at Colby.
Currently there is a 17 point gap between the sides which makes Geordies firm favourites to make the final on Boxing Day.
A close game is expected at The Bowl where St. Mary's have been drawn against Corinthians with very little to choose between the teams.
The sides have yet to play each other this season.
