Vagabonds and Douglas return to EuroManx South Lancashire and Cheshire League action on Saturday following the Christmas break.
In Division One, Vagas have slipped to third bottom-of-the-table and face a real test at home to second placed Wigan at Glencrutchery Road.
In Division Three, Douglas have topped the charts all season but travel to nearest challengers St. Edward's Old Boys. With the points difference the way it is, defeat would see Douglas replaced at the top-of-the-table.
