The tournament played for the Noel Vimalendran trophy was organized by Jaffna College for the fourth successive year which was played at four venues around the Jaffna district.
For the last three years the tournament was confined to schools around the north and east but this time around the organizers extended invitations to 11 schools around the island comprising schools from Colombo, Kandy, Anuradhapura, Kurunegala and down South Galle.
