Douglas face a massive test of their title credentials at Port-e-Chee this afternoon (Saturday).
The visitors are Oswestry who went top of South Lancashire and Cheshire Division Two last weekend.
Douglas are a single point behind the leaders, but fourth in the standings, in a very tight race for promotion.
Vagabonds are 13 points off the pace in fifth place, and entertain Dukinfield at Ballafletcher.
The other Manx side in the division, Ramsey, are still in a relegation place desperately seeking points.
They make the long trip to Trentham in a meeting of the bottom two teams.
After defeats for the three Manx sides last weekend, they will all be looking to get their first wins of 2012.
