Albion Community Centre and Skeldon Community Centre were also in winners’ row and earned a semi-final berth. The latter team earned a decision over Port Mourant but the Port Mourant side has protested the decision, blaming the umpires for wrongfully disallowing one of their colleagues from bowling by dint of the fact that he did not bat during the innings.

Deveshwari Prashad top score of 49. He also took 331 from 10 overs, all in vain.
