D.S Senanayake College will host Isipathana College at Welisara.

The Dons who were promoted to the top division at the eleventh hour have been found punching above their weight in the top division. After 4 games they are winless and have conceded 182 points and have only managed to cross the opposition line 7 times so far this season.  Boys in Gold Black will have to turn up with a good defensive performance to avoid Isipathana running havoc at Welisara.

Isipathana have been handed an opportunity to perfect their systems before the final week of the first round. The greens are after a moral boosting victory over the arch rivals Royal  winning the Maj. Milroy Fernando Trophy but will have to make sure that they polish their defensive performances up and keep a clean sheet against the Dons.

Antonians will host home town rivals Rajans in Bogambara.

St. Anthony’s with a talented outfit have been under achieving this season and are in danger of not making the cut to compete in the cup segment this year as they only have a solitary victory similar to their opponents this weekend.   Antonians have to make sure they tune up all their departments and come all guns blazing against Dharmaraja and go into the final week of the first round on the front foot.

Dharmaraja come into this game on the back of their first win of the season managing to put away the Dons successfully last week. They will be desperate to continue their winning streak against the Antonians at Bogambara which is also home grounds for the Rajans. The Dharmaraja back three were found wanting under the high ball and will be tested by the Eagles who have able kickers in their mix.

St. Peter’s College host the rivals from the Darley road St. Joseph’s  at Bambalapitiya in a much anticipated clash for the  Fr. Basil Weeratunga shield.

Petrites despite their shaky start and loss to Royal collage came back strong with an all-round performance against Isipathana to end a six year long wait for a win against the greens. The Petrites look to have found their rhythm in the win against the Greens and will be looking to continue their good form against the Josephians to regain the all-important shield they lost in 2015. Apart from the traditional importance in the fixture, it will be important for Peter’s to get a victory under their belt and get the victory and keep their title chances alive.

The Josephians started the season on a low having lost two games on the trot against Royal and Isipathana. However the boys from Darley road have managed to turn their fortunes and get two back to back victories under their name having delivered a clinical show against Antonians who provided stiff opposition throughout the game. Blue & white hoops will be determined to retain the Fr.Basil Weeratunga shield in Maradana and will be focused on getting a victory under their belt.
