In football, the Island's second-tier cup competition gets under way this afternoon (Saturday).
It's the preliminary round of the GH Corlett Woods Cup.
Red-hot favourites for the cup will be St John's, who've dominated JCK Division Two this season with a 100 per cent record from 15 games and a goal difference of +100.
They face Pulrose at Springfield Road in the early, 1.30pm kick-off.
Elsewhere, Union Mills take on Onchan at home, Marown play Malew, Police take on Foxdale and bottom side Ronaldsway have a tough tie against RYCOB at home.
There's just one JCK Division Two game this week, with mid-table Bradden playing third-placed Colby at home.
