a little more bite than in previous encounters when the pair clash tonight.

Town are riding high on top of the Premier League at the moment while Wolves are in mid-table.

The two clubs meet at Devonshire Rec. this evening (7 p.m.) in a cup double-header, the other quarter-final being between North Village and Devonshire Cougars (9 p.m.).

At press time the matches were still on, but any repeat of the rain the Island has had in the past two days might lead to them being postponed.

Two ties scheduled for Tuesday night at Somerset CC were called off about an hour-and-a-half before kick-off because of the torrential rain.

Those games, between Southampton Rangers and Devonshire Colts and PHC and Social Club, have yet to be rescheduled.

So far Dandy Town have had the upper hand against Dennis Brown's Wolves but coach Bascome is guarding against complacency.

"Wolves are going to give us a good game and in the FA Cup anything is possible. We have to be aware of that and we have to apply ourselves and match them with the same intensity. We have to give it our best shot and hopefully we can come out with a favourable result,'' he said.

With Wolves having to rely on a number of teams slipping up dramatically to let them in with a chance of the league title, Bascome believes they may come out with a greater sense of purpose tonight.

"This could be the last major trophy they play for. They have a point to prove and Dandy Town are good opposition for them. With all those ingredients it could definitely encourage them to come out,'' he said.

Bascome said as well as tackling Wolves, his players would also have to battle the conditions if the ground remains wet.

"It will probably disturb the technique a little. It may make the ball a little slippery. What's important is you have to stand up and play -- you need good shielding skills, you might find you have to take the ball with people on your back,'' he said.

Bascome is a fan of the FA Cup and says his team will be going all out to make sure they have a double celebration come the end of the season.

"It's a good tournament. I enjoy it as a coach because it's a pressure situation -- one loss and you're out,'' he said.

"Of course you have to keep your focus on the league, but I believe you have to play every game hard just so you can maintain the rhythm.

"I just hope both teams come out to play hard so that the game is the winner -- that's important for me. But I hope for my players' sake that we can get the better result,'' he added.

Menwhile, North Village coach Scott Morton believes his players have to take the game to Cougars in the opening phase.

In a recent league match between the pair, Village drew 2-2 after going two goals down.

"I think Cougars are a streak team. They are not fit for 90 minutes as was seen in the last game,'' he said. "They normally thrive on their supporters.

Once their supporters get behind them it keeps them motivated and gives them a lot of energy.

"So I think if we dominate early that will take a lot out of them because they are not a team that's very competitive in the later stages of the game.'' As far as players are concerned, the match sees one return but another first teamer still on the Red Devils sidelines.

"Kimandi Binns is not going to be available but Kentoine Jennings will be fine. He made a late recovery,'' Morton said.

"Kimandi normally plays in front of the defence. In the last game Jawon Thomas moved from the right fullback position and he adjusted quite well, so we don't have any problems making adjustments.'' Andrew Bascome: guarding against complacency.
