For Caribs, Claudius Butts scored a try which was converted by Theodore Henry.
Hornets delivered a similar thrashing to the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) winning that encounter by 19 points to seven.

In the other men’s game, the Caribs held GDF scoreless on the way to a 19-0 whipping.
Butts, Walter George and Gordon Andrews secured a try each and Henry added two conversions.
In the female encounter the Caribs came out on top of the Hornets, winning two of their three games. The Caribs took the first game 24-5, but the Hornets ladies prevailed in the second 10-5.
