With a deficit of 54 runs, PMCC batted a little better in their second innings and were able to reach 164, primarily due to an even fifty from Rampersaud Ramnauth. Ramnauth struck three boundaries in his top score and received support from Vishal Williams 33, Rampertab Ramnauth 27 and Paul Tyndall 19. Junior Sinclair 3 for 40 and Clinton Pestano 3 for 30 were the main wicket takers for the visitors, while left arm spinner Keith Simpson 2 for 40 and Matthew Pottaya 1 for 21 and Javed Karim 1 for 2 also bowled well.
Rose Hall Town Namilco Thunderbolt, needing 111 to register their second straight victory in the tournament, were given an eighty runs opening partnership by Karim and Romesh Bharrat. Karim, in his first fifty for his new club, top scored with a solid fifty with seven boundaries, while Bharrat chipped in with 23. Victory was achieved at 112 for four wickets with over four hours remaining on the final day. Rampersaud Ramnauth completed a fine allround performance by taking 3 wickets for 22 runs, while Rueben Latcha took one for 16.
