Big kick-off for football this weekend

Full sets of fixture in Canada Life Premier League, JCK Division Two & combination leagues

Football is fully back today, following last weekend's appetite-whetting Charity Shield.

There are full sets of fixtures in the Canada Life Premier League, JCK Division Two and the combination leagues.

Defending champions and Grand Slam winners St George's begin their bid for a record-equalling sixth consecutive league titles away to Rushen.

Meanwhile, Division Two favourites Douglas Athletic start their campaign with a home match against Pulrose United.

Manx Radio's football correspondent, Tony Mepham, says there could be some tough competition ahead.
