House Steiner Blue led the preliminary heats. House Steiner Red and The Boys From The Black Stuff tied for second, requiring a deciding semi-final. Red won that game to qualify for the final, leaving Black Stuff third.[1]

The two final games were played consecutively. Each House Steiner squad won from one end, with Red winning the tournament by one elimination across the two games.[1]
