Despite the limited play there were two outstanding performances with T. Ramdass hammering the first century, a pugnacious 160 for No72 All Start against No77 and Mahendra Bhola taking 5 wickets for Crabwood Creek against No 59 Sports Club. Results were Crabwood Creek Sports Club defeated no 59 Youth Club by 52 runs.

In the next game No72 All Stars hammered No 77 Sports Club by 186 runs.
All Stars took first strike and bludgeoned their opponents bowling to race to 229 in 20 overs with T. Ramdass scoring the first century of the competition as he blasted the bowling to all parts of the ground for a swashbuckling 160 (12 x4, 12×6) in a dominating display.
Bowling for No 77, Narine with 3 and Rogers and Carag with 2 each were the main wicket takers.
They in their turn at the wicket were bundled out for 43.
