In this the Cowdray team managed to win both their games and take home 3 rd overall in Hipwood.

In the final, Tallulah Murphy had to be substituted in for Beltran Laugh on the La Oma side ,due to Belteran having to go back to school in Argentina. Despite this setback the La Oma side played well, with Noah Hyde picking up all 4 of his teams goals.
