The three point line man to man defense of the Old Bens players were very effective in the first quarter where Carlton players found it difficult to deliver the ball to the ring. The Old Benedictines stole the ball several times inside their ‘D’ but soon Carlton players leveled the attack and were one point behind at the end of the first quarter (14-15). Carlton team played a much organized game in the second quarter and took the lead to register a 14 point lead at the half time (41-27). The winners scored 27 points while allowing their opponents to add 12 points in the second quarter. Eventhough Old Bens scored 14 points against 10 from the winners in the third quarter they were tamed in the final quarter by the strong Carlton team who registered a 17 points lead in the end.

R. Ruwanga (14 points) and P. Pushpakumara (12 points) were the highest scores for the winners while K. Perera who added 15 points and and L. Siri (13 points) were the chief scorers for the losers.

Michelites BC recovered from a dreadful set back in the first quarter (12-17) to defeat Old Anandians BC (69-45) in their Division ‘B’ match at the Police Deport. They got into their rhythm in the second quarter and restricted the opponents to seven points each in the second and third quarters while scoring 22 and 15 points in both respectively. The Anandians were 10 points behind at half time (34-24).
