The pick of the six matches is no doubt is the clash between two unbeaten teams S. Thomas' and Isipathana in Group 'B'. Both will come into this crucial game looking to take the top spot. Kickoff is at Mount Lavinia from 4.00 p.m.

The two teams have recorded four wins out of four and though both the teams have accumulated 24 points each the Thomians are in the top spot due to having a better average and securing bonus points. Apart from being a league match, the two teams will battle for the Rizvy Suhayb Memorial Trophy which has been introduced for the first time.

Rizvy Suhayb spearheaded the Thomians in 1989 to the league title unbeaten.

This time too the two teams are contenders for the league title though Isipathana have tge edge being the reigning President's Trophy knockout champions.
