There are two groups – group one comprising Sharks, Bishops, All Stars and Peterhead, and group two consisting of Newmachar, Stonehaven and the Knights.
There is an all play all within those two groups, and the winners play a final.
The upshot of last nights result is that the Knights will go through if they beat Stonehaven by more points than Newmachar do. In the event that the Knights and Newmachar are tied then Newmachar would go through on bottom board elimination.
