As a result of Navy SC’s game against Saunders being put off to a later date they remain at the third slot. Despite losing to Ratnam, Matara City advanced four slots to fourth but Colombo FC moved down a slot to fifth after their match against Java Lane was not played.

At fourth is Don Bosco who suffered their second loss, in a massive way, to the table leader. Renown pulled off a stunning 3-2 win against Police SC to move two places up to fifth while Nandimithra, after being bashed by Upcountry Lions, moved down a place to number six. Police moved down a place to seventh as New Youngs, Pelicans and Kalutara Park who could not complete their fixtures last week, remain eighth, ninth and tenth in the table. – NA
