Douglas and Vagas teams off island

Douglas Celts look to seal Manx Shield title

Douglas and two Vagabonds sides are hoping to defy Storm Dennis and travel off-island for matches on Saturday.

Douglas are at Broughton Park in North One West,hoping to carry on playing to the excellent level they achieved a week ago at home to Penrith.

Vagas ladies are also at Broughton Park with a close game in prospect after a 19-19 draw in their contest at Ballafletcher earlier in the season.

There should be another tight affair with Vagas men making the trip to Oswestry with the sides second and third in the table and with very similar playing records.

Domestically, the match between Western Vikings and Ramsey "B" has already been postponed.

That means all attention will be on Douglas Celts who will be crowned Manx Shield Champions if they draw or win against Emerging Nomads in a double-points contest.
