instead be played tonight, as the first part of a double-header at Somerset Cricket Club.

The game between Somerset Trojans and Vasco has been put back an hour until 9.00 p.m. to make room for the table-topping Zebras against Town match, which will kick off at 7.00 p.m.

PHC will be looking to get their title bid back on track after suffering two successive league defeats after starting their campaign with an eight-match unbeaten streak.

Last weekend, the Zebras had their lead at the top slashed to one point after they lost 3-1 to second-placed North Village.

Town also lost last week, 3-2 to Trojans at Somerset, where their defence caved in to concede three goals in the opening 21 minutes.

Martonmere Cup winners Town have failed to live up to their potential in the league so far and they have 14 points from 10 games, just one more than second-from-bottom Boulevard and Southampton Rangers.

Meanwhile, third-placed Vasco will be looking to tighten up their defence against Somerset, who are just a point behind them.

Although Vasco are the division's top scorers, only the bottom two sides have conceded more -- a dilemma graphically illustrated by their 5-4 defeat at home to Wolves last week.

The highlight of tomorrow's three-match Premier Division programme is the meeting of in-form North Village and Dudley Eve Trophy winners Devonshire Colts at Bernard Park.

Village followed up their impressive victory over PHC with a 1-0 midweek victory over Wolves in the Friendship Trophy to keep their hunt for silverware on three fronts alive.

On the other hand, Colts' first outing last weekend since their Dudley Eve triumph was none too impressive -- a 2-1 defeat at resurgent Southampton Rangers.

Tomorrow at Southampton Oval, Rangers face a relegation battle with Boulevard.

Both sides are tied on 13 points. Mid-table Wolves will be out to improve their goal tally at St. David's, having already beaten the eastenders 5-0 in the league and 7-0 in the Friendship Trophy. In the First Division, tomorrow's match of the day is at Malabar Field, where leaders Social Club take on third-placed Ireland Island Rangers, who could take over at the top if they won.

That would depend on how second-placed Devonshire Cougars, who are just a point behind the leaders, fare on their visit to White Hill Field to meet Somerset Eagles.
