PHC will become the first team to win promotion and the Premier Division league title in successive seasons tomorrow if they take take maximum points off Wolves at Somerset.

Tomorrow is decision day for a number of teams as the league, relegations and promotion issues will all be decided by the results.

The championship race is down to the Zebras and Red Devils, with the simple equation being that if PHC beat Wolves then the North Village-Boulevard match at Bernard Park will have no bearing.

However, if Wolves shock PHC like they did in December when they handed them their first loss, then Village will become league champions for the first time in 21 years if they beat already relegated Boulevard.

"We will enter the game the same way we have entered the last few games, with the view that all we can do is take care of our responsbility and our responsibility is to try to win our game at hand,'' said Village coach Kenny Thompson.

"We have no control of the Wolves and PHC game. Of course we hope that PHC don't win, but hope is a desperate sort of situation.

"As such we don't tend to think so much about what Wolves have to do against PHC. We'd rather concentrate on what we have to do, and if PHC drop some points then we will quite happily move into first place.'' While the situation might favour the Zebras slightly, they will go into the match knowing that Wolves were the first team to beat them in the league this season. And having risen as high as third in the tables, Wolves are quite capable of repeating that feat.

For Village, finishing second won't be a total disappointment and if they do lose out they will probably point to the recent home match against the Trojans when they lost 3-1.

"We definitely always have had aspirations of winning the championship and that's been from day one for me in the last three years. But there are certain circumstances that hinders ones progress,'' said Thompson.

"Ours was hindered early in the season because we dropped six points in the first two matches which set us back a little bit. We climbed our way back into contention and got to the top of the league but the unfortunate situation was the loss against Somerset at a crucial period. It put us four points behind and we had to rely on PHC dropping points.'' That win at Bernard Park on February 27 proved a big one for the Trojans, but subsequent losses to the bottom and top teams -- St. David's and PHC -- leaves them in yet another relegation battle.

Somerset just need a draw to survive, but it won't be easy against a resurgent Rangers team who now have a better goal difference and can survive with a victory by even the narrowest margin.

"Ascento Russell is back for the game, but we have lost Rohaan Simons and have to adjust after he played well a week ago when we beat St. David's 5-0 at Lord's,'' said Rangers coach Earl Basden.

"We feel good going into the game, everything depends on this game. A draw wouldn't help us, it helps Somerset and you can bet that everybody in our squad knows and understands what has to be done.'' Rangers will have Jason Raynor back from suspension but Craig Darrell is suspensed (banned by the BFA this week for four games and placed on a one-year probabtion) while Omari Hart is off the Island.

"He (Darrell) has played up front for us all season but we still have a capable attack in people like Janeiro Tucker, Nashon Smith, Kwame Tucker and Ascento Russell,'' said an upbeat Basden.

"We go into the game hopeful and optimistic that we can pull this off.'' Boulevard, who have been in the top division continously since the mid-1980s -- one of the longest runs by any of the Premier Division teams -- have all but been relegated.

They are level on points with Rangers but with a far inferior goal difference would have to beat Village by 23 goals while hoping that Rangers only win by a single goal. They have only managed 14 goals in 17 games so far so the task is certainly beyond them.

The other matches don't carry much importance as Devonshire Colts and Dandy Town, who meet at White Hill, have already qualified for Martonmere -- with Town certain to finish at least third. Bottom team St. David's close out their disappointing season at home to Vasco who need a victory to be certain of finishing in the top six and qualifying for Martonmere next season.

Vasco will be without three players, Jermaine Belboda, Irving Burgess and Sinclair Gibbons, who have been banned for four games by the BFA for using foul and or abusive language in the FA Cup semi-final loss to North Village.

Town's Kris Martin has also been banned for his recent conduct when he used threatening behaviour to match officials during Town's recent cup loss to Vasco. Martin is sitting out three games.

Players serving one-match bans this weekend: Marvin Belboda (Dev.Colts), McKonnen Hollis (Dev.Colts), Ottis Minors, Chae Simmons, Aaron Lugo (all St.

David's), Dean Bailey (Dandy Town), Kevin Jennings, Michael Hansey (both North Village).
