Boorhaman continue winning ways

Both teams shared the early points, but on the crossover, Boorhaman stamped their authority on the match — winning both sets and taking a seven-game advantage into the final two sets. Everton struck early to claim the first of those sets, but Boorhaman rallied to secure the last and finish six games clear.

Everton Blue started strongly, jumping out to a 3–0 lead in sets and building a 15-game advantage with three sets remaining. Hardcourt, as quality teams do, found their rhythm late and began to claw back, but the early lead proved too much to overcome.
