Those triumphant teams who progress into the quarter finals and then the respective semi-finals and grand final, will hope to get their hands on the top prize of $700,000 and a trophy donated by Aruwai Resort. The second place team pockets $300,000 and the Ansa McAl trophy, while the third place team carts off $200,000 and the John Fernandes trophy. The fourth place finishers will receive $100,000 and the Ministry of State trophy.

Action continues on Monday July11th again at the GFC ground with a double header from 7:00pm. Santos face Beavers in the first game, while Western Tigers tackle Pouderoyen at 9:00pm in the hunt for quarterfinal places.
