Report by Ben Cunningham:

This weekend sees the semi finals of the Mixed Cup, Plate and Bowl competitions. 

In the cup the first semi-final sees a club derby between Vikings A - who are fighting hard at the top of the premier league - against Vikings B who are sitting mid-table and will be happy with how their season is going so far. 

The winner will face Harlequins A or Bacchas A which is the other semi-final match, when these two met in the league it was just a single goal that went the way of Bacchas A. 

In the Plate, Valkyrs C will be hoping they can keep their good league form up when they play Ramsey A who have had a mixed bag of a season so far. 

The other semifinal sees the battle of the top two in Mixed Division One face off, Bacchas C - who are top by a point - meet Castletown Southerners in second. 

When these two sides met in the league they could not be split, could this happen again and could we see a penalty flick shoot-out? 

In the Bowl our first semi-final sees yet again a battle between another set of top two sides, this time in Mixed Division Two. 

Harlequins B - who are yet to drop any points this season and have been scoring plenty of goals as well in the process - face Castletown Cammags who will be hoping they can stop Harlequins from potentially going on and getting the double. 

The winners will play Valkyrs D - who will be hoping they can keep their good cup run going as the league hasn’t been going too well for them - or Bacchas Colts who will be happy with how their season has gone so far in both the league and the cup. 

All matches, if level at full time, will go straight to penalty flick to determine a winner on the day.
