Tonight's tie of the night is the Hustlers trip to the Tower. Stevie Kelly takes his team into one of the trickiest venues in the EKPL full of confidence from last week after a 12-2 win over the Cuesters saw the Hustlers close the gap on the league leaders to eight points. The Tower meanwhile, are having their best ever season and currently lie in 7th. They have put together an impressive run of matches, losing just once in seven matches (a close 8-6 defeat to the Entertainers). The Hustlers will have their tails up after the title race has opened up, however the defending champions know they can afford no slip ups here...easier said than done in the Tower.

Second placed Top Guns are now within six points of the Entertainers after last week, however they face a tough trip to an Emeralds team looking to regain their pride after a 12-2 humbling from Club 2000 last week. After suffering back to back losses a few weeks ago, the Top Guns have now won three on the spin, culminating with a fine win over the highly touted Misfits last week. This should be a great match, with both teams going all out for the win.

Elsewhere in the title race, the Entertainers complete their set of first half fixtures with a home tie against EKCO. A poor performance, coupled with good play from the Greenhills saw the 'tainers lose their first match since May, and with the defeat, their rivals have clawed themselves back into the race. A win is a must for them, and standing in their way is EKCO, who although showing improvement recently, are without a win in fourteen matches.

The Salmon Leap host Langlands in what should be a good match up. Langlands are just starting to find their feet in the league, and are now unbeaten this year. They will travel to face the Salmon Leap, who, with a rich vein of form with just one loss in ten, have propelled themselves up to fourth spot.

Greenhills will be looking to finish off this set of fixtures with a victory over the Ospreys, after a great performance saw them inflict the Entertainers first defeat last week. The Ospreys are still looking for that elusive first win which keeps them rooted to the base of the table.

Fifth placed Murray face a tricky away tie to the Aces looking to keep hot on the heels of the teams involved in the title race. The Aces haven't won since their surprise victory over the Hustlers, but they will be keen to put that right tonight and begin moving up the table again.

The Misfits take on the Hunters looking to bounce back after their rapid ascent up the table was halted for the first time in weeks with a defeat at the hands of the Top Guns. The Hunters find themselves at the bottom of the "mid table pack", and will be looking to heap more misery on Ian McLean's team and begin leap frogging some teams.

Last but not least, Club 2000 will be looking to pick up where they left off from last week with another win against Cuesters. The Club boys have had an up and down start to the season, but a win tonight should keep them on track for a high placed finish. Meanwhile, the Cuesters will be hoping to snap a four match losing streak which sees them occupying fifteenth spot.
