FC Isle of Man welcome Lower Breck to the Bowl this weekend as Paul Jones’ men seek to keep their run of home wins going.

The Ravens have won four on the bounce at home as they look to secure a top 10 finish in the NWCFL Premier Division.

The only changes see Sam Baines and Callum Sherry replacing Kyle Watson and Ste Whitley who are both unavailable.

While Monday saw the Ravens put a dent in Chadderton’s promotion bid, a heavy downpour on Wednesday saw the away game at Irlam postponed, breaking the hearts of Ravens fans who completed a 12-hour round trip just to get a couple of beers.

Super fans Pete and Jascha made it to Irlam, only to see the game postponed.

Looking ahead to this weekend’s game, the Ravens go into it having won four of their last six, all at home. Monday also saw the side play some of the best attacking football has played under Jones with Charlie Higgins in particular being almost unplayable at times.

That run of form has the Ravens in 11th, with a couple of games in hand, as they look to secure a top-10 finish.

The visitors Lower Breck are three places above the Ravens in eight, with 65 points having played four games more than the Ravens.

The game kicks off at 6pm on Saturday, gates open 5pm and as ever you can get your tickets here.
