Report by Ben Cunningham:

In the Ladies Premier League, Ramsey A - who’s relegation was confirmed last weekend - play Bacchas A who held Castletown A to a draw last time out. 

Valkyrs A play Vikings A in a match that could be very close depending on the strength of both squads; elsewhere, Harlequins A play the league champions Castletown A who are still yet to be defeated. 

In the Men's Premier League, Vikings A - who know they need to win this weekend to take the title race to the final weekend - play Valkyrs B who were sadly relegated after their result last time out. 

Harlequins A meet Castletown A in a match that could be close between two evenly-matched sides, whilst league leaders Bacchas A face Valkyrs A who will be definitely wanting to try and get one over on their opponents, however Bacchas have been scoring plenty of goals this campaign.

In Ladies Division One,league champions Castletown B face Vikings B; Castletown D play Valkyrs B with the westerners wanting to get back to winning ways, but the southerners will know they need to get something from this game as they are in the relegation battle. 

Finally Bacchas B - who will be happy with how their season has gone this season - play Castletown C who are also in the relegation battle at the bottom of this league. 

In Men's Division One, it’s an early start in the north of the Island for Ramsey A who play Vikings B who know a win this weekend is important in the title race they are in with Bacchas B for promotion back to the premier league. 

Harlequins B play Bacchas B this weekend with Harlequins coming into this game on a good run of form, however Bacchas know they must get the win this weekend to take it to a final day of the season showdown when the top two will face off; Castletown B play Bacchas C knowing that a win for Castletown will see Bacchas relegated, but if Bacchas can win they will just stand another fighting chance depending on how results go. 

In Ladies Division Two, league leaders Bacchas C play Ramsey B with Bacchas knowing a win over the northerners will see them crowned champions of this division. 

Harlequins B - who will be happy with the results they have achieved this season play - Castletown E who have done really well being a newly-formed side; finally, Vikings C meet Valkyrs C who come into this game on a great run of form and have been scoring plenty of goals whilst Vikings C haven’t been in their recent games. 

In Men's Division Two, we were due to have two games however we now only have one in this league this weekend and thats is between Vikings C and Castletown C who when they last met in the league were only split by just a single goal. 

The other game that was due to take place this weekend between Bacchas Colts and Valkyrs C has been given as a walkover to Valkyrs C with Bachas Colts not able to field a team. 

Finally in the mixed U15’s league that has been just as competitive as the senior leagues - Ramsey Rogues and Rascals meet Castletown Sabres; Valkyrs play Harlequins and finally Vikings U15’s A play Bacchas.
