The day opened with a tense all-GCC affair, as GCC Spare Parts and GCC Outlaws battled to a 1–1 draw. Lennox Carrol put Spare Parts ahead in the 12th minute with a sharp penalty corner conversion, but just three minutes later, Lucas Sargeant responded for the Outlaws with a well-taken goal from a corner of his own, forcing the stalemate.
In Men’s First Division Group ‘B’ action, Masters staged a remarkable comeback to stun GCC Outlaws 4–1. Orland Semple drew first blood for the Outlaws in the fourth minute, but Masters soon took control of proceedings. Dwayne Scott netted twice to put Masters ahead 2–1, before Shane Samuels and Dwight Sullivan added one apiece to seal the emphatic victory.
The Women’s Open Division also produced fireworks, as GBTI GCC overpowered Hikers 6–3. Hikers started brightly with early goals from Jasmine Assanah and Maria Munroe to lead 2–0. However, GCC’s captain, Gabriella Xavier, led the charge for her side, pulling one back in the 12th minute. Rebecca Ferreira equalized a minute later, and Xavier struck again to make it 3–2. Female star Abosaide Cadogan joined the scoring in the 17th minute, before Xavier completed her hat trick in the 19th. Hikers managed a late consolation, but Ferreira’s second of the match sealed the 6–3 win for GCC.
