Football: First midweek fixtures of new campaign await

All four divisions back in action over next two days (Fixtures: 3-4 Sept)

This evening (3 September) marks the start of the first set of midweek fixtures for the 2024/25 Isle of Man football season.

Matches will be held across all four divisions tonight and tomorrow evening after the opening matches of the latest campaign were held last weekend.

Tuesday night will see the Canada Life Men's Premier League and Ardern & Druggan Ltd. Division 2 take centre-stage.

Among tonight's top-flight ties, Onchan - who had a rest day last weekend - face a tough first game back at the top level against defending champions Ayre United who won a ten-goal thriller against Laxey last Saturday (31 August).

Elsewhere, two of the top premier league outfits from last season - Ramsey and Peel - will meet in a potentially intriguing clash at the Ballacloan Stadium.

Meanwhile in the second tier, Braddan - who netted ten goals on the opening day - travel to Douglas & District and there's a Southern clash as Colby host Castletown.
