There’s just one game scheduled in JCK Division Two on Saturday, Braddan hosting Douglas and District at Victoria Road.
The hosts haven’t played a league fixture yet this year after postponements to their games with Douglas Athletic and Onchan and will be keen to get the 2014 ball rolling this weekend.
The Swans’ form to the back end of 2013 wasn’t the best with four defeats coming in a row
This might make the visitors from just down the road at Noble’s Park slight favourites to clinch the points having beaten Malew 5-1 last weekend thanks to a Daniel Stewart-Clague hat-trick and single goals from Steven Horner and Pete Kirkham. Veteran striker Kirkham, attacker Jon Conroy and skipper Chris Bowers all sit this weekend’s clash out, but midfielders Rob Jones, Jamie Spicer and Danny Scott all return, while youngsters Jamie Redmond and Daniel Kinley keep their place in the squad after impressing last week.
The reverse fixture ended 1-1 in September and this game should be as tight.
