SURE-SPONSORED Vagabonds welcome Southport to Ballafletcher this Saturday in South Lancashire and Cheshire Division Two.
The Manx side were involved in a battle last weekend so will be more than ready for a renowned physical team like Southport.
Jonny Beckley and Ross Pulman miss this week’s encounter though through injury.
Pulman will unfortunately miss the next five to six weeks of the season after sustaining knee ligament damage.
His loss will be temepered by the return from injury of influential duo Kevin Birchall and Leigh Kennaugh.
The Vagas’ pack will be hoping for a big performance this weekend so that the likes of Ross McCulloch, Sam Brennan and Tom Gascoyne can be released out wide.
Vagabonds will be looking for a home win and confident performance this weekend before they make the trip off-island to face league leaders Sefton the following week.
