Today's round of The Captain's Bakery St Catherine FA Major League should be quite interesting as top teams fight for two places in Thursday's mid-season final.
Joint leaders Portsmouth (13) face Rodwood at the Portsmouth playing field. A win for promoted Portsmouth will see them going through to the mid-season final. Dunbeholden (13), will also book their spot with a victory over Flamingo at home at the Dunbeholden playing field. Should the leaders slip, then Dela Vega United (12) can pounce with a win over Spanish Town Police. In another game, previous leaders DB Basovak tackle Albion United at Homestead. Black Lion FC (11) and Cumberland will be idle. Black Lions' opponents Arlington have withdrawn from the competition, while Cumberland get a bye.
