The United Boys followed up with 5-0 wins over SDM Rangers and Littleton Toms to remain unbeaten.

The Lions whitewashed SDM Eagles 5-0 and, with Katie Sellick making a guest appearance, beat the previously unbeaten SDM Hardhitters 3-2.

Hardhitters' Dan Hartland and Ed Rigg beat clubmates Eagles and Batbashers 5-0 and, with games in hand, could still take the title.
