Simeon Moore marked his name by scoring two field goals for Old Fort Top Form.

The first female game of the evening saw the YMCA Old Fort Igniters narrowly defeat the Saints women by one goal. A penalty corner was awarded to Old Fort women and captain Carolyn Dean led from the front. She took the shot and successfully found the back of the nets of the Saint women.

The faced-off in the Vets Over-35 category was between Bounty GCC and YMCA Old Fort. The latter suffered another defeat at the hands of GCC as their nets were riddled four times.
Old Fort opened the scoring in the 3rd minute when former skilful national player Askofu Simon punctured the GCC net with a field goal. But this small victory did not last long as Kevin Spencer responded, followed by a double from Devin Hooper. The other goal for Old Fort came from Jason DeSantos. The game ended in favour of GCC 4-2.

The final match of the evening took place between GBTI GCC Spice and GBTI GCC Tigers. The Spice ladies were on point and netted four goals, with Ashley DeGroot-Khalil opening the scoring for her team and ending with another. She was followed by Sonia Jardine and the hunter Abosaide Cadogan.

The Tigers put up a good fight but only managed three goals, with captain Gabriella Xavier making a double and being supported by the aggressive and quick Sarah Klautky.
