In the final, Port Mourant came out hard to stun Castrol 25-13 in the first set as Divendra Latchman showed his growing confidence and skill set with some big plays to set the tone.
Castrol Strikers came back valiantly in the second set, forcing PMTC to change their pace but the latter found another gear to close it out in two sets 25-20.

The winners walked away with 50,000 and second place finishers copped 30,000.
