It was St Charles College who started the better in the second half, but squandered three easy opportunities as the match ended 0-0.

In the SCC vs Hilton encounter, St Charles College were awarded a penalty after only seven minutes when a shot was deliberately palmed over the crossbar by the Hilton College centre back. A straight red card was shown to the player and Kameel Khan calmly stepped up a sent the goalkeeper the wrong way. Simiso Ngubane of St Charles College came close to scoring just before half time with a long range shot that hit the top of the cross bar. At half time St Charles led 1-0; the second half both sides seemed to lose structure and the match became scrappy with both teams struggling to keep possession and build. The final whistle blew with St Charles being well deserved 1-0 winners.

In the last game of the day, Michael house managed to beat Hilton 3-1.
