Melbury and Blackingstone Rock both qualified for the Houldsworth final by winning their matches.
The Hawarden Harlequins also won their match so automatically qualified for the KCMG final.
As Knowle lost that match they qualified for the ‘runners-up final’ to decide 5th and 6th place.
The difficulty was deciding who out of Horner and Southfield, who both lost the semi-finals by the same number of goals, would go into the KCMG final on the Sunday. After discussing with the teams, Southfield opted to play in the ‘runners-up’ final.
