The two East section qualifiers will play in one semi-final, the two West section qualifiers in the other semi-final.<\/p>\n<p>The three finals will each be played on the upper or north ground, which has in the past hosted ICC Trophy games in 2001 and Canada versus Bermuda in a 3-day ICC Intercontinental Cup match, with grass wickets.  The Boys Middle Schools final will be on this north ground at 9am, followed by the Girls final at 11.15 am, and the Boys Senior final at 2.30pm.  The winners of each section can then claim the CIBC Trophy. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CIMA Canada is pleased to announce that CIBC, the financial lead sponsor of the CIMA Mayor&#8217;s School Cricket Tournament, has invited tournament finalists to a clinic and motivational talk with international cricket star Sanath Jayasuriya. &#8220;We are delighted with the opportunity to work with CIBC and Sanath Jayasuriya and present this opportunity to aspiring young [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[6],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.canadacricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3143"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.canadacricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.canadacricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.canadacricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.canadacricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3143"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.canadacricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3143\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3145,"href":"https:\/\/www.canadacricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3143\/revisions\/3145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.canadacricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3143"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.canadacricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3143"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.canadacricket.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
