SSC head Group `B' with 38.0 points, but the runner-up position will be decided this weekend when CCC (30.5 points) take on Panadura SC at Panadura. Bloomfield, who have completed all their matches, are currently lying second with 34.5 points.

The semi-finals of both segments will be worked off on October 18 and 19 with the finals scheduled for October 25 and 26.

All the clubs who have qualified for the semi-finals from both segments, are requested to meet the tournament committee on October 14 at the Cricket Board headquarters at 5.30 p.m.
