tonight's make-up league match with Hamilton Parish -- regardless of the outcome of the match.

Cougars will take on Parish at 9 p.m. and after the final whistle has blown they can begin celebrating their return to the top flight after a two-year absence. A victory tonight would also practically clinch the Second Division title for them with second-placed BAA then only able to defeat them on goal difference.

Cougars' win by default over Paget on Sunday extended their record to 11 wins and a draw from 12 matches, four points ahead of BAA who have three matches remaining and five ahead of third-placed Wolves, who have just two matches remaining.

Promotion has seemed inevitable for Cougars since the first half of the season but it was only after the weekend when Wolves went down 4-0 to Prospect that promotion was sealed.

Cougars are also in the hunt for the promotion and Shield double, playing BAA in the Shield final on April 3.

Tonight's match will be preceded by a junior knockout match between PHC and Somerset.
