In their clash against T&T Defence Force, Hikers inflicted a crushing 11-1 triumph with Robert France netting a helmet-trick, while Captain Devin Munroe, Jerazeno. Bell and Alex Gouveia each blasted in a brace. Guest player Ryan Cowie completed the tally.
Neil Lashley made the lone response for the Army.
In the other game, Hikers squandered a healthy 4-1 halftime advantage to scrape a 5-5 draw. They had trailed 4-5 with two minutes remaining, before Bell converted a penalty corner to gain the equaliser.

The men on target for Hikers were Devin Munroe and Robert France, who each netted a double, while Bell scored the other. For Petrotrin, Legerton poured in a hat-trick, while there was one apiece for Dwayne Quan Chan and Atiba Whittinton.

At half time, the teams were deadlocked at 2 – 2.
