Sibling rivalry will be at stake for Martel and Markez Laws when Flanagan’s Onions face Wolves in an unlikely top-of-the-table Premier Division clash.The twin brothers spent last season shoring up the backline at Corona League side West End United but now find themselves on opposing sides with Martel at Onions and Markez at Wolves.An ankle injury to Markez prevents the pair from playing against each tonight at Devonshire Rec. although Martel said his brother would be on the sidelines cheering on his Wolves team-mates.“We’ve certainly spoken about the game and it’s a bit disappointing Markez can’t play because of injury,” he said.“Hopefully with Markez unable to play it will make it an easier job for us to beat up on Wolves.“Markez will be at the game though and will obviously be supporting Wolves but hopefully he can cheer his brother on a little as well.”Prior to this season Martel said he and his brother had always been team-mates and had never played against each other competitively.He now hopes they will both be fit to face one another in the return fixture later in the season.“When we came back from university we started to play for West End United in the Corona League,” he said.“Then we went different directions, he went to Wolves and as I date an expat I knew a few of the Onions players and they asked me to come out for their Premier Division side.“I think there’s about three of us Bermudians on the Onions team now.”Many observers had tipped Onions to struggle in their inaugural campaign in the top-flight but Martel insists their encouraging early start is no flash in the pan.“I think it’s a little insulting that people think we will go down but it kind of inspires us to leave it all out there,” said Martel, who is a former Wolves youth player.“I think it’s going to be an interesting season for us, we’ve put the work in on our conditioning and our fitness and I think it’s starting to pay off.”Onions have been the surprise package so far this season, claiming maximum points from matches against St George’s and Robin Hood to put them top of the league.However, the team’s coach Michael Ward isn’t reading too much into their positive start to life in the Premier Division.“The two games have been very exciting but it’s important that we don’t get carried away,” said Ward.“Maybe after five games we can look at it and then comment, but two games is not a start.“If we lose the next two we’ll be near the bottom, so we have to see how we do after five matches.”Onions and Wolves both gained promoted to the Premier Division last season, Wolves as champions, and are the top two sides in the standings.Wolves are in a buoyant mood after beating North Village 3-2 at Bernard Park on opening day before grabbing a 3-3 draw at the Den against tenants Devonshire Cougars last Friday.And Ward expects a closely-fought game.“I think both teams are good enough to be up there but we have hardly started the season,” said Ward.“Last season we had mixed results, we just need to stay focused and do the right things.“It’s there to be won by both teams, and we’ll try our best to make sure it’s us.”
