Rugby - and the Douglas Celts start
Rugby - the Shimmin Wilson Manx Shield returns this weekend.
Douglas Celts begin the defence of their crown as slight favourites away at Vagabonds B.
Playmaker Josh Carine won't feature, though, as he misses out due to injury which could provide a boost for the hosts.
Elsewhere in the competition, Southern Nomads and Western Vikings go head-to-head at King Williams College.
