SURELY no corner of the island is awaiting Sunday's FA Cup first-round action more than the east end where St. George's Colts will take on St. George's All-Stars in the most local of local derbies.Club stalwart Stephen Paynter, of All-Stars, said: "Our guys are really excited about this local match up. We feel we have a decent chance of an upset."

While he conceded fitness and youth should give the First Division side the edge he added: "It is felt that the present Colts team is not as strong as in previous years."

The two teams last clashed in this competition in January, 2004 and the All-Stars were soundly beaten 5-1 despite taking a shock early lead.

However All-Stars are in good form now having not lost a game as they sit on top of the Commercial B Division.

They will be looking to the striking qualities of Stevie Dickinson and Sinclair Smith for goals while in defence they can call on the services of past St. George's Colts players Franklyn (Bucky) Greaves, Delbert Minors and Andrew Richardson as well ex-St. David's and Dandy Town defender Shay Pitcher.

But Colts, who are in the bottom half of the First Division, having picked up just five points, have the speedy Alan Douglas Jr. and frontman Kuma Smith. St. George's also have the experience of Neil Paynter, Dean Bailey and Philip Bailey.

Paynter said one intriguing aspect of this game will be the likely appearance of veteran goalkeeper Greg Smith who has come out of retirement at age 52 to fill in for the injured St. George's regular keeper Troy Hall.

Ironically, Smith is a past member of the All-Stars. "It should be interesting indeed," said Paynter.

Commercial A outfits MR Onions and BAA look most likely to spring an upset.

Onions take on Premier outfit St. David's who have yet to win a game and boast just one point after five games. Speedy striker Colin Keane is now available after recovering from an ankle injury but fellow frontman Phil Anderson is still struggling with a groin injury.

The game marks the swan song for centre-back Lee Dwyer will be playing his last game before leaving Bermuda to move to Dublin.

MR Onions president Chris Fleming said Onions had beaten St. David's the only time they previously played them, although it was several years ago and they were in the First Division at the time.

"We believe that we've got a chance of winning if we play as well as we are capable of playing."

BAA face a tricky visit to First Division midtable outfit Prospect. BAA's Italian striker Guiseppe Coco will provide a handful while captain and centre-back Chris Worsick is back after a one game suspension.

BAA manager Tommy Gribbon said: "They are the favourites and should win it, but I think it will be a close game."

Lowly Commercial outfit Pest Control face a tough visit to Devonshire Colts who are second in the Commercial League and have yet to lose.

Squad member Stephen Watts said of the clash: "Lambs to the slaughter come to mind as we haven't played for two weeks...needless to say we haven't trained either."

But he said the FA Cup is about having fun and winding up the opposition's coach. "It's fun to watch them make off if they're not up by three at the half.

"And it's a chance for some of us to turn back the clock for a couple of hours and then sit back and appreciate the fact we play in Commercial B."

Meanwhile X-Roads take on fellow First Division outfit Wolves who lie third.

Commercial B sides Valley and Vasco fight it out while Commercial A outfit Robin Hood, who have yet to get a point, face a hard battle away to First Division tabletoppers Ireland Rangers.
