Defending Trinidad and Tobago Rugby Football Union (TTRFU) Toyota Championship Division champions Caribs RFC will try for two titles in one when they meet arch-rivals Stag Trinidad Northern from 4 p.m. today at the Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain.
This contest is not only a decisive second round league clash between the two longest standing rugby clubs in T&T history as the winners will also take home the prestigious Bruno Browne Cup.
Northern and Caribs will also lock horns for the Raffie Hosein Cup as the top two competitors in the Second Division at the same venue, starting at 2 p.m.
In the Championship Division fixture, Caribs find themselves needing to win the match to keep their stranglehold on the league and they will be aware that Northern are the only team that have beaten them to the title in two decades.
The returning champs are favoured for the title, though, having lost only one match of the season against current leaders, Harvard.
Harvard lost two matches against both the teams in today's fixtures, but lead the standings with 40 points, having secured more bonus points than any other team.
Caribs (39 points) are one point behind in second, while Northern are back in third on 34 points. Caribs must therefore win to retain their title.
