Match Preview

Douglas will probably have a tough job against Ramsey.
The Celts held Vagabonds to a 12-7 half time lead a fortnight ago before a spectacular second half collapse which saw them ship 64 unanswered points after the break. Much will depend on who does or doesn’t make the trip to Bowdon with the first team and its possible that the Celts may have some non travellers, although the most likely scenario is that they'll be short. Skipper Conor McCaughan had a little cameo for Emerging Nomads last week and seems to have overcome his “man flu” successfully and his presence in the back row will be just what his side need.

Ramsey have few significant injury issues. Stand off Tom "wingy" Moffatt remains out with injury, but Dan Richmond has recovered from a knee tweak just to make the newspaper preview look rubbish. Danny Howard moves back to his more familiar wing role. There are changes in the pack though. Matt Livesey gets a start at hooker with Starfish moving to the bench and Ross "nonick" Quayle (Janelle's young fella) makes his first team debut in the back row.
