Old foes in Rugby semi-final

Vagas v Douglas this evening

Old rivals Vagabonds and Douglas meet in a Shimmin Wilson Manx Cup semi-final at Ballafletcher this evening.

The winners will face Southern Nomads in the final on Saturday.

Douglas will start as huge favourites after narrowly winning the North One West promotion play-off against De La Salle last Saturday.

Vagabonds have had a disappointing season and will now be at least two levels below Douglas in the national league standings.

However, a game against Douglas is sure to fire them up.

Kick-off is at 6.45pm.
