Defending champions Waterford CC and Portsmouth will face off in the championship match of the Petcom Metropolitan Cricket League mid-season final at the Bridgeport Sports ground on October 21.

Waterford topped Group B with the maximum 16 points from four matches and Group A leaders Portsmouth had a perfect 12 points from three games as the first round of the league came to a close.

Rain created havoc on last week's fixtures as only one game was played. In that match, Waterford CC were forced to leave the field due to a heavy downpour at 23 for two.

Meanwhile, one game is scheduled for tomorrow as winless MegaMart Developmental squad face Belmont CC at Bridgeport.
