A record seven team registered for the tournament which brought together family members and friends in a convivial atmosphere and togetherness, rather than the spirit of competition only.

Host BV Boys, comprising Timothy Kate, Yannick Lucas, Dylan Renaud and Dave Blackburn were third overall with 11 points, ahead of The Musketeers, comprising Eli Louise, Vince Hallock, Darren Low-Hong and Ted Hallock who were fourth with 10 points.

With 8.5 points, Royal – Ryan Joseph, Jesee Eulentin, Ryan Cupidon and Rachelle Hoareau – finished fifth overall, ahead of Cobra’s Shaddy Adam, Angelo Bistoe, Jean-Pierre Botshare and Macy Botshare who finished sixth overall with 6 points.
