Report by Ben Cunningham:

In the Ladies Premier League, Castletown A will know a win this weekend will see them take the premiership title - they face Bacchas A who narrowly lost to Vikings A last weekend. 

Ramsey A face Vikings A with the northerners knowing defeat this weekend will see them relegated; finally, Harlequins A play Valkyrs A - when these two sides met earlier in the season it was late drama as Harlequins took the victory with the last touch of the game.

In the Men's Premier League, there is a big game at the bottom of the league between Harlequins A and Valkyrs B - if Harlequins take the win Valkyrs B will be relegated, however if Valkyrs B can get anything from this game the battle at the bottom will carry on. 

Vikings A - who are still keeping the pressure on the league leaders - play Valkyrs A who have had a mixed bag of results lately in the league; elsewhere, league leaders Bacchas A who still remain undefeated this season play Castletown A who come into this game on the back of a narrow win last weekend.

In Ladies Division One, Castletown B play Castletown C in a southern derby with the B team knowing that victory will see them take the division one title and still keep them within a chance of finishing the league unbeaten. 

Bacchas B - who got a good win last weekend over Vikings B - play Castletown D who just lost out to Castletown C last weekend; meanwhile, Valkyrs B will meet Vikings B with both sides looking for the win.

In Men's Division One, Bacchas C will know that they will be relegated if they don’t get victory over Harlequins B. 

Ramsey A meet Bacchas B this weekend who have been scoring plenty of games in their matches so the northerners will know they will need to keep them clear of the goal this weekend; elsewhere, Vikings B play Castletown B with Vikings knowing they need full points from this game. 

In Ladies Division Two, Bacchas C will secure the league crown should they defeat bottom-of-the-table Castletown E and both Valkyrs C and Vikings C suffer defeats.

For Vikings C it's an encounter with Ramsey B whilst Valkyrs C will be hoping to stay in the race against Harlequins B.

In Men's Division Two, the top two in this league face off as Vikings C play Valkyrs C and the bottom two meet each other as Castletown C play Bacchas Colts - both these games will be very close.

Finally in the Mixed U15’s League that has been just as competitive as the senior leagues - Ramsey Rogues and Rascals play Vikings U15’s B; Valkyrs will face Bacchas and finally Harlequins meet Vikings A.
