The Isle of Man senior men's football team are in action in the English Inter-League Cup today (Saturday).
They play Lancashire Amateur in the competition previously known as the Systems Cup, which the Island won in 2006.
The squad warmed up for the match by winning two friendlies on Merseyside last weekend.
Manx Radio's football correspondent Tony Mepham says he has doubts about the pitch for today's encounter, but hopes the Manx side can perform well (play audio file):
Kick off is at 1pm and there will be reports on Manx Radio's Saturday Live with Chris Kinley.
