first place when they meet in the top Coca Cola First Division match at Southampton Oval tomorrow.

The two teams are locked on seven points with Wolves, who missed the chance to move three points clear on Thursday night when they went down to champions Vasco.

Now Rangers or Colts can take over the lead with a victory.

There shouldn't be too much separating the teams as they have identical records. Rangers have scored twice as many goals as Colts while Colts are yet to concede a goal in three outings.

Dandy Town will look to bounce back from their home loss to Rangers last weekend when they travel to Devonshire Rec. to meet winless Cougars who shared the points with Vasco in their last outing.

Town dominated the game against Rangers but still lost 1-0 as their inability to find the net came back to haunt them with Rangers scoring a late winner through substitute Travis Wilkinson.

Town, soon to meet Colts in the Martonmere Cup final, should be favourites but Cougars are always tougher to beat at home and should be even more so with early season points vital to their survival hopes.

Another struggling team, Boulevard, aim to break out of their slump when they take on former league leaders North Village at St. David's.

Boulevard are in the bottom three in the standings after earning just one point in their first three matches, and their meeting with Village should provide them with another battle as Neil Robinson, now back with the Red Devils, goes up against his former team.

Bottom team Hamilton Parish will be without Corey Hill for their home match against Somerset Trojans at Wellington Oval. Hill limped off against Wolves last weekend with a knee injury and had surgery earlier this week which will keep him out for a few weeks, including Bermuda's upcoming fixture against a top Swedish team in mid-November.

The loss of Hill will be a blow for Parish who are finding the going tough in their first season back in the top flight. They have lost their first three matches and can ill afford to finish another game without a point, especially with three teams being relegated at the end of the season.

PHC and Social Club, both looking to return to the First Division, meet in the opening match at Southampton Oval. PHC already have the inside track in the race for the one promotion spot, having made it three straight wins so far while Social Club are five points behind but with a game in hand.

In the other matches, Paget entertain St. George's at White Hill and Ireland Rangers meet Somerset Eagles at Somerset.
