Manx side currently on a lengthy winless run
Vagabonds are hoping to end their nightmare year-long winless run with a win in today's South Lancashire and Cheshire Division Two action.
They're at home to sixth-placed Orrell, who've lost two of their last three.
Elsewhere, Douglas travel to Stockport in North One West.
The Manx side could be in for a tough afternoon, as Stockport are riding high in the division, winning all but two of their matches so far this term.
