All three Manx sides in South Lancashire and Cheshire Division Two take a rest this weekend with no fixtures scheduled.
That means the focus is on domestic issues and the two Manx Plate semi-finals.
At Poulsom Park, Castletown will start as underdogs against Douglas B, who are still challenging for the Shield league title.
And in a game switched from King William's College to Ballafletcher, Emerging Nomads tackle Vagabonds B, with the Douglas-based side again favourites to make the final.
