The second match of the day involved a combination of the International Rotarians and local Rotarians playing against the local team of Lawyers & Judges captained by Justice Joseph Tam. This match was won by the Lawyers & Judges.
The Carib Stand was filled with the sounds of soca music, live steel pan, live commentary and enthusiastic cheers from spectators who viewed the matches while enjoying a variety of local dishes and beverages.
The day ended with an official prize giving ceremony involving the award of Man of the Match Trophies and medals to participants.
