Last year, behind the exploits of Daniel Williams, Chantoba Bright and Deshana Skeete, Upper Demerara/Kwakwani, District 10, won their consecutive and 16th overall title, which saw them continue their reign as the most successful District in the history of the Championships.

The ever-improving South Georgetown (District 13) finished second, while North Georgetown (District 11) were third.

Rounding off the top five finishes last year were West Demerara (District 3) who finished fourth and East Georgetown (District 12) and Cuyuni Mazaruni (District 7) tied for the fifth position.
