Boscobel Warriors and Mango Valley Lions will meet in a clash of the titans in the grand final of the Costly Construction-sponsored St Mary Boscobel Premier League T20 tournament at the Boscobel Oval today. Match time is noon.

In the third-place play-off beginning at 9:30 a.m., Port Maria Turbos will battle Days Mountain Strikers.

In their semi-final against Port Maria, Boscobel pulled off a close four-run win. Boscobel struggled to 129 for nine in their 20 overs, and Port Maria were cruising along before their innings closed on 125 for eight.
