Division title while Southampton Rangers could again spoil their dream of knockout success as the east-enders bid to wrap up one title and close in on another today and tomorrow.

St. George's can wrap up their third Premier Division championship with a win over Police tomorrow at Wellington Oval while victory over Southampton Rangers today at Devonshire Rec. field will take them into the knockout final next weekend and keep them on track for the double.

Ironically, it was Rangers who spoiled that double dream in 1990 when they beat champions St. George's in a rain-affected knockout final. Like they were then, St. George's will be favoured over a Rangers team they have already beaten this season in league play.

Today's other semifinal, at Wellington Oval, sees Devonshire Rec. taking on underdogs St. David's who shocked Rec. in the league earlier in the season after the home team were well set for victory.

Captain Wendell Smith, who missed last weekend's match against PHC, is set to return to the St. George's team this weekend. Graham Fox has filled in admirably as captain in Smith's absence through injury. The only loss for St.

George's this season was back in May when Western Stars beat them in the semifinal of the Camel Cup.

Since then they have swept all before them, including wins over both Rangers and Police. Police were unlucky to lose to the east-enders in the last round of the knockout when rain reduced the visitors' target, and they will travel to Wellington Oval tomorrow in search of justice.

However, they will have to do it with a depleted team through player unavailability.

"We don't have too many players available at all at this time, I guess we will be fielding sort of a make-shift team,'' Police captain Dennis Archer disclosed.

"Two of our better players, Roger Blades and David Greenidge, are both away, so our pace attack in particular will be limited. Kenny Bourne has come out and helped a lot during the last two games, but he injured himself on Sunday and will not play against St. George's. I simply don't know who we will have available.'' Police have slipped to the bottom half of the standings and presently sit 10th in the league with just five wins from 13 matches. The loss of key players has not helped.

"Donovan Livingston (after missing two games) should be back in the line-up and perhaps Ronald Greenidge will come in to help as well,'' said Archer.

"It's too bad because I would love to give St. George's a formidable challenge in this game...but you can never tell, maybe we still can.

"We had them on the run when we last met in the knockout quarter-final but rain came and ruined things...they eventually won on run rate. Going into this game our bowling is the greatest concern. I guess (Michael) Jackman, Dwayne Leverock, Livingston, (Ferdinand) Thorne and myself will do the bulk of the bowling.'' Second-placed Western Stars should bring Social Club back down to earth after their first win of the season last weekend against Warwick while the next four teams below them in the standings will be battling for the two remaining Camel Cup places.

Eastern Counties rivals Bailey's Bay and Cleveland, who are level on 20 points, can improve their chances of top-four finishes with wins tomorrow.

Bay are at home to Somerset while Cleveland travel to Lord's to meet St.

David's.

Two points off the pace on 18 points are Devonshire and Southampton Rangers who know they must win their last two matches to have a chance of dislodging Bay or Cleveland.

However, as they are to meet each other at Southampton Oval, one will have the misfortune of missing out.

In other matches, Hamilton Parish take on PHC while Willow Cuts host Somerset Bridge and Flatts entertain Warwick at Devonshire Rec. field.

All matches will start at 11 a.m.
