Football: Castletown hoping to close gap on Division 2 leaders

Women's Floodlit Cup semi-finals also taking place this weekend

Castletown will have the chance to claw back ground in the Ardern & Druggan Ltd. Division 2 title race with the current leaders not in action this weekend in Manx football.

With second-tier frontrunners, Colby on a rest week, their southern rivals could back to within one point of the top spot with Castletown preparing to host Malew during this Saturday's ties (31 January).

Should Castletown suffer a second league loss on the bounce, Ramsey Youth Centre & Old Boys (Rycob.) could move to within four points of second should they take maximum points against Pulrose United.

Elsewhere, in the Canada Life Men's Premier League, Corinthians remain four points clear at the summit ahead of a trip to Ramsey.

Hoping for the top-flight leaders to slip up will be Peel - four points back in second but with two games in hand - who face an away clash at in-form Union Mills.

On Sunday (1 February), the semi-finals of this year's Canada Life Women's Floodlit Cup will take place with back-to-back fixtures at The Bowl in Douglas.

First up, Onchan and Douglas Royal will face off for a place in the final before holders, Peel face fellow Manx women's football giants, Corinthians in a fixture that has been the final of this competition four at least the last four years.
