The Saturday fixture will have second placed Civonets facing Lioness who are fourth on the log table while on Sunday Blues Sisters will battle it out with their sisters, Young Eagles while Civonets will be in the sisterly battle with Boma.
Both Blue Eagles Sisters and Civonets will be aiming at keeping up their pace with top finish at the end of the season.
