Both have 20 points ahead of kick off with Cornwall College ahead of goal difference with 15, five clear of Anchovy and the winner will secure top spot, while a draw will also be good enough for the Sr. Dean Weatherly conditioned red and gold clad unit.
Meantime Green Pond High already with 16 points on the board can move through the round of 32 for the first time since the 2013 campaign, as one of the best-third placed finishers, should they take three points at home to Irwin who has won just once this season, despite their showcasing some of their best displays.
