By Orville Clarke, Portmore Star Writer

Caribbean Classic maintained sole leadership in the CTL-sponsored Portmore/ St. Catherine domino league last Sunday when they defeated Correctional Services 300-285 in an away match at Prison Oval.

Classic thus recorded their eighth win from as many matches to lead the standing with 40 points, three clear of Masterpiece with 37 from eight and the unbeaten Forte International, 35 from seven matches.

Defending champions St. Joseph and Hurricane are tied in fifth with 32 points from eight matches, followed by Eradication 30 from eight and rounding off the top eight, Marliemount and Night Shift, both with 27 from seven matches. The top eight qualify for Division I at the end of the preliminary round.
