Last year’s beaten finalist Scotiabank ‘A’ and Appliance Traders Limited (ATL) headline the six teams that have qualified for the play-off round of the 2016 Business House Netball Association competition.

They are joined by the National Housing Trust (NHT) ‘A’, Jamaica Urban Transit Company (JUTC) ‘A’, Scotiabank ‘B’ and Ministry of Education.

The play-offs were scheduled to begin last Saturday, but were postponed due to inclement weather. The Leila Robinson Courts was deemed to be too slippery and posed a danger to players and umpires.

The games are now scheduled to be played on Thursday when ATL battle Ministry of Education, while NHT ‘A’ will square off against Scotiabank ‘B’.

Meanwhile, the consolation knockout round of 32 continues this afternoon, with eight matches scheduled for the same venue.

The opening games at 5:45 pm will see Digicel Jamaica vs JUTC ‘B’; Financial Services Limited (FSC) vs MegaMart; Hardware and Lumber vs Norman Manley International Airport and Housing agency of Jamaica vs Wisynco ‘A’.

These will be followed at 6:30 pm by Flow vs Urban Development Corporation (UDC); NHT ‘B’ vs National Commercial Bank; HEART Trust/NTA vs Guardian Life and Wisynco ‘B’ taking on GraceKennedy.
