After the group stage 3 teams were tied on 2 wins each with only 2 able to contest the final. Following some late call offs, Hashtag's Followers had been allowed to field an extra cricketer throughout rather than play a man short. This fact was used as the tie-breaker with the 2 "legal" teams going through.
3rd/4th Play-off:
Hashtag's Followers - 81 for 0
Open up a can of whoop ass - 52 for 4
Final:
Rugby Club VI - 60 for 4
Peter Pan's VI - 53 for 2
Champions: Rugby Club VI
The runner-up team were awarded £50.
The winners claimed the £100 first prize and also were awarded a further £100 to go to a charity of their choice - Lippen Care - courtesy of Strathmore Funeral Directors.
