This was despite St Marks and St Johns’ Robert Kuscus beating old rival Cola 13-11 and 11-8.
The match between Booysens Pride and NMMU A ended in an 8-3 win for Booysens Pride. Michael de Kock was in fine form winning all of his games.

In the other matches, Aryan E beat Olympia B 6-5. Roshan Nathoo, the captain of Aryan, E won all his games.
In the last match of the evening Aryans D beat NMMU B 9-2. Zeenal Bhana was the star player for Aryan D emerging unbeaten.
