COWES Sports are back in Wessex league action after they ended a three-game losing streak with a massive victory in the FA Vase last week.

Up against United Services Portsmouth, with only three points between them, the Yachtsmen will be looking to get back in among the leading group again after slipping to ninth.

In Division 1 of the Wessex League, Newport do not have a game, but East Cowes Vics entertain Follands Sports — and judging by the 81 goals their matches so far have totalled, it could well be a very entertaining game.

Vics, off to their best start in the league in many years, lie seventh having beaten Andover Town 8-1 away last weekend.

On the Island, attention turns to the first round of the Hampshire Saturday Trophy — a competition Island sides, such as W&B, Brading Town and Shanklin, have proved strong in in recent years.

The Romans entertain Compton, aiming for another superb run in the competition. 

Hampshire County Womens Football League Division 1 side Shanklin Ladies are in Women's FA Cup qualifying round action at home to the Winchester City Flyers on Sunday.

Meanwhile, in Division 3, the Wight Eagles travel to City Ladies, with both going into it with 100 per cent win records so far after two games.
