In Rugby, Douglas, Vagabonds and Ramsey return to South Lancashire and Cheshire Division Two action this afternoon (Saturday).
Table toppers Douglas travel away to mid-table Marple and will be confident of getting the second half of their campaign off to a winning start.
They will also be hoping the other Isle of Man sides will be able to do them a favour against title rivals.
Vagabonds are at second placed Oswestry, and Ramsey welcome fourth in the table Crewe and Nantwich to Mooragh Park.
