Kingston Wharves and Campari advanced to the Division One final of the 2017 National Association of Domino Bodies (NADB) Kingston & St Andrew Region/Wray & Nephew White Overproof Rum Business House League after victories in their semi-final matches at National Housing Trust (NHT) car park last Friday.

In the lower division, Ministry of Finance (MOF) will tackle Jamaica Observer in the finale.

Kingston Wharves, who are chasing a historic fourth-consecutive title, defeated Wray & Nephew Limited 128-85 in their semi-final encounter, while Campari got the better of Seprod 112-108 to book their third- consecutive spot in the final. Wray & Nephew Limited and Seprod will contest the third-place play-off match.

MOF came from behind to beat Port Authority of Jamaica (PAJ) 126-121, and Jamaica Observer also came from behind to whip NHT 136-101 in the their respective semi-final matches. PAJ and NHT will meet for third place.

The winner of Division One will receive $30,000, while the runners-up will pocket $20,000. In Division Two, the winner will walk away with $25,000 and the losers will get $15,000.

The grand finale and third-place play-off in both divisions will take place at Jascisera Park today. The day’s proceedings start at 6:30 pm.

It will be a repeat of the last two finals in which Kingston Wharves were the winners. Kingston Wharves won 99-90 in last year’s final and 107-86 the year before to register a historic three consecutive titles. It is anticipated that Kingston wharves will get the better of Campari once more. The pair of Rohan “Guy Fox” Dixon and Fred “Teddy” Thomas, who have been the Most Valuable Players for Division One for two of Kingston Wharves’ three championships, have been the key in the success of their team over the years, and they will be hoping to be firing on all cylinders today in claiming a historic fourth title in a row.

If they are to challenge Kingston Wharves, Campari need to produce their best to have a chance of lifting the title.

In the lower division, MOF have beaten Jamaica Observer on two occasions this season and will be confident that they can make it three from three. MOF got the better of their opponents with a controversial 116-112 in round four of the group stages before they recorded a 125-116 win in round eight to prove their dominance.

However, Jamaica Observer have shown from time to time that they are a force to be reckoned with and have produced the goods at crucial stages.
