First Set: Past Students Alumni WON 25 - 15. Wow – we have a game on our hands here!

Second Set: Current Student Firsts WON 25 - 23. Phew - now that was a tense, close, tight tussle all the way…

Third Set: Current Student Firsts WON 25 - 11. The fast-tiring alumni players battled uphill against the well-drilled current students, who enjoyed the advantage of a full Term 1 of TAS match cohesiveness, combinations and training drills behind them, as it all clicked together.
