The first game was decided by sheer experience as Khalil was able to command play at 9-9 to secure the first at 11-9.
The perseverant Joseph, full of heart and energy, was not budged by this loss to swiftly take the second game 11-4 , he kept his momentum as he increased the pace of the game which his springy legs and diving leaps of faith could handle, thus leading him to take the third at 11-6.
