The quarterfinals of the Magnum ‘Mash Cup’ were contested on Wednesday night with some typical and some shocking results at the National Gymnasium on Mandela Avenue. The night’s play got underway in fine style with an entertaining, all Linden affair between Swag Entertainment and Silver Bullets; that games finished 4-2 in favour of Silver Bullets.

Shane Luckie had opened the scoring for Swag in the 19th minute before Williams equalised one minute after.
Clive Nobrega then fired Swag into the lead in the 32nd minute and Williams was on hand again with the equaliser one minute after his teammate Jermaine Samuels scored in the 34th to hand Bullets the lead for the first time in the game.
